I have two chinchilla's.. they are both boys.. one is about a year old.. the other is. 4-5 months. My question is.. I have chinchilla fever.. and recently have been pondering adding a 3rd and final chin.. >_> <_<... my partner would kill me I think..
Here is the scoop.. The two of them live in a ferret nation cage. So plently of room. We play with them in our chin proof family room for atleast a hour a day do no issues with that.
However, when I paired my older male with the younger male. At first povel wanted to rule over him. I ended up taking everything out of the cage.. shelves toys everything. All I left was a house. Over 2 weeks they got along. And have never had an issue since.
How does adding a 3rd Male to the equation work? It would have to be a male.. a female might make the boys turn on each other. However, is it easier once they had to deal with each other? Or just that much harder due to there being 2 chinchilla's that might reject the new chinchilla?
Any feedback would be wonderful.
