Thank you Amanda your comment is really helpful. And it wasn't that we didn't know what we were doing, we always kept a close eye on the both of them, and besides wanting them to have each other as company the purpose was to breed them. Except we never saw any significant change or when either...

My boyfriends female chinchilla has been breathing too fast. His chin and mine were together for a while because we were hoping they mate and kept each other company. But since we didn't notice any change we assumed she wasn't pregnant, except now that our chins are separated he tells me he...

Here's a picture of the always growing Midnight

He's actually an ebony velvet. It's taking him some time to adjust, but we'll get there

I really don't use shavings for bedding, since he sleeps in his hammock for the most part of the day, but it actually sounds like a good idea. That way he won't ruin his hay while being at it. I guess he just misses how things were with his mom. He doesn't bite as much as he used to now, still...

Its barely been two days with my new 3 month old chinchilla. And I know he still has some time to get used to his new surroundings and myself, but he seems to be peeing in his hay feeder and ruining his hay for the day. And when I so much as put my finger close to the cage so he can...

Thank you very much, every single one of you!!

:thanks4:

:thanks2:

Yesterday I picked up Little Midnight and brought him home. So far he's very active & very curious about his new surroundings. Still pretty scared of me too. But hopefully with time he grows to like me. Time & patience is all we need. Because of the filter, the first one isn't very clear, but...

Adorabble!

I was thinking of using a wooden hidey house as a place for him to sleep, meanwhile finding him something better. I've seen the fleece bed at petsmart, but my boyfriend told me it wouldnt be a good idea. But the more I see people with fleece items, the more I am tempted to try it.

I get my chinchilla on wednesday & it's been brought to my attention that the igloo I have gotten him is no good since it's plastic. Now I'm stressing over where I can find one in the mean time since most of the websites I've checked out require time for them to be made. :unsure: Can anyone...

Also, could anyone tell me how to add a profile picture and a signature to my post?. :/

I just want to thank all of you for being so welcoming :grouphug: I'm sure that I will learn a lot from him as he will from me. I just hope he loves his new home and can grow to trust me and love me as much as I'm already starting to love him. :cute: And to tinypixiexoxo, yes, they can be...

Hello everyone, my name is Eleyvia. And even though I don't have my chinchilla yet I'm doing as much preparing as I can. But after next week I'll have him home with me. I'm so excited and can't wait for our journey to begin!. Because of the color of his coat, I've already named him Midnight...

I do realize how easy it would be with fleece, but at the same time like I mentioned before, I don't have access to a vacuum or washing machine at home. I could get a portable vacuum cleaner just to clean out his cage while he plays, but then the issue would be the washing.

I'm starting to see the cons to going with the fleece :/ and opting to instead add pieces of tile here and there in his cage. Since aspen bedding is messy :hmm: And the custom fleece items I was interested in making for him was something like these...

I only tried the carefree brand with my hamsters in the past. And I was just worried over my chinchillas comfort and what would be best for him. Fleece has been recommended to me many times, except I don't have a vacuum to clean up his droppings, or a washing machine at work to wash the fleece...

Around sometime next week I'll be a new chinchilla pet owner. And even though I've learned what I can through research on resourceful pages from the internet and gotten useful advice from my boyfriend, who also owns a chinchilla, I'm still not sure over what to do when it comes to bedding...
