I have the larger chin spin for my 2 boys. They absolutely love it and it's very quiet. We have a small living room and we don't even notice when they're running on it while we're watching TV.

Both of my chins "tell me" when they're done playing. They tend to sit still and look at me waiting to go back to the cage or sprawl out trying to cool down. An hour might be overdoing it if they're new to you. It can vary from animal to animal. Bathrooms are typically small rooms with very...

Our new Chinchilla "Tribble" was playing with his new hanging toy and ran out of steam. I found him like this, sleeping quite contently.

I had a hedgehog in college and now have chinchillas. They're different but still super fun.

When we first got our little guy an exercise ball was suggested to us by one of the people at PetSmart. I hadn't been introduced to this site yet and I just went with it. Poor little guys ears got all red and he laid down after a few minutes. I knew this was bad mojo and searched for a cause...

Welcome.

Sad to hear. Glad to see you've got your spirits up enough to look for another fuzzy friend.

We named our little guy Buster.

Just wanted to post a few pictures of our little boy Buster. We got him at about 3 months old in August and his fun loving little self has encouraged us to buy another one of these amazing animals. Here he is relaxing in his favorite hammock and "stealing" his mothers engagement ring. (It's what...

Buster would give out his "alarm" squeak when we first got him if anyone was being too active around his cage. After about the first month that stopped and now whenever someone is near the cage he's up looking for attention. Just give it time and don't rush contact as it might spook him more.

2 in one hand!!!!! Too much!

This is fantastic. I will likely buy some ledges from whimsy and I stumbled across Twilight Chins page which is absolutely amazing. Thank you for the suggestions.

Hey all. I'm looking to buy shelves and some other items for my newly purchased FN 182. Since everyone on here seems to have some decked out puff-palace/criter-castle I was looking for some tips on where to go to get good shelves/toys/hides and such for it. I know a lot of you did it yourselves...

My buster was doing something similar when I changed my sleep pattern so he wasn't getting 2am playtime. I'd come out talk to him, give him some scratches through the cage when he came to me and he would calm down. The description of the honking as a little squeeze toy is so perfect.

Welcome.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like he had a great life with you!

Good afternoon, I have to start by saying that I've been reading and getting such great information from this site that I owe every contributor a personal thank you. My fiance and I got our first Chinchilla in early August from a breeder downstate that I was referred to...

Our little boy Buster is pretty spoiled. A few hours a day I open his cage and put up a play pen around a nice sized space in the living room. This lets him jump back and forth from the play pen to his cage. It has a fleece blanket and some wood hidey/huts for him so he can be sage. The only...
