    Hello there all :)

    Its been a long time since I been here. So figure I'd say hello to everyone again. I had a chinchilla in the past, he passed due to old age. After a long time, I've decided to get a pair. Looking through all the new great posts and information. :)

    Treats- What do give the good fuzballs :)

    Hey folks, I been curious. What do people give their chinchillas as treats? I know that sugar is not good for them, nor is screwing with their diet suddenly. Gotta keep those stomachs happy. So what do people treat their chin's with?

    Grooming needs!

    If you are only supposed to dust them, do they just naturally she everywhere? I remember having to clean out my ac unit and finding layers of chin hair all in the filters. Fed them oxbow pellet and lots of hey.

    Grooming needs!

    Hey guys. I was curious when it comes to grooming a chin. I know it doesn't stop at just giving them a dust bath. To keep the hair from getting all over the room how do you comb it out properly. Is there a specific comb? Been watching a lot of video's but want to know what you all think :)...

    Together then not..

    I did make another house long ago so they have two. And yeah Im going to put the divider back in the cage and let them through the hole when I'm home but close it up when I'm not. I'll also rotate where they sleep so their smells don't separate.

    Chinchilla Fever?! (Human based Sickness)

    Yeah I probably wont get a third then. They are VERY happy together. Sleep with each other.. eat with each other. I rarely hear them bark at each other. And if a third chin could risk that balance its not worth it lol. I just know with chins the sooner you put pairs together the better. I...

    I'm a little confused...

    When I got my first chin the breeder said.. To train them to stay in your lap.. just have them sit and keep feeding them raisins.. I totally never did that. I did give Pov Raisins like once a week. But I switched over to Plain Cheerios and apple sticks. They go nuts for those!

    Cosmo wont eat his new food

    I congratulate you on switching your Chin's food. A guy at a petco told me he had a chinchilla that lived for two years then died randomly. Had AC and everything.. when I asked what food he ate.. he said he gave him the one with all the seeds and fruit too. He seemed to get upset when I...
