5 Dangerous Chinchilla Products

[@Lauren24199]

1. Plastic Exercise Ball 2. Plastic Hideouts 3. Paper Bedding and Paper Toys 4. Most of the Chinchilla Treats at Pet Stores 5. Plastic or Mesh wheels KEEP YOUR CHINCHILLAS SAFEEEE 😀❤️

[@Lauren24199]

In the video she goes over why you absolutely should stay away from these products, so don’t just take my word for it, watch the video too!!!!

[@Solomon0424]

I bought the first 2 and I regret it.

[@twinkle7879]

I’ve been using paper bedding since forever😭😭

[@rachellesteinerman8078]

I never understood the exercise balls because the best part of letting them out is watching them jump and flip off the walls.

[@caitlinstingle3571]

When I got my third chinchchilla it came with an exercise ball but I threw it away immediately

[@jrodmvpszn]

Good Choice

[@justjasmine1202]

I Have 3 Chinchillas And Sometimes Dont Know How I Do It But Before I Got Them I Did Lots Of Research And Your Videos Also Helped Me To Know How To Properly Take Care Of Them. 🙂

[@jfridsma5641]

Another thing to be wary of is unknown wooden toys and dyes, and any toy or hay rack or hay ball with holes that chins can get stuck in. For example chins are known for getting their head stuck in those wire hay balls. There's also a picture somewhere on the internet of a ceramic red-bell-pepper toy that a chin got stuck in.

[@CrayolaCoffeeBean]

I had NO idea paper was bad.... even the vet recommended CareFresh (as long as he wasn’t eating it... which for a while he wasn’t but long story short, he started eating it so I stopped buying).

[@Indi_Waffle_Girl]

I love your videos, thank you!! I appreciate how you have educated me and others about keeping our chins safe and happy. Pet stores really don't cater to chins :/ Also I noticed you have a lava ledge on the ground for merlin, mine chew theirs off too XD if you want, you can pull that metal piece out and then it's just a giant pumice piece and there's no metal sticking out or anything. Much love to you ❤️

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Thanks for the tip! I usually do that when he’s chewed enough so that I can pull it out 😁💕

[@noth3640]

I used carefresh for one day and I instantly regretted it so I got rid of it and I also give my chinchilla (Sushi) little carrot strips as treats

[@LaraBuilds]

Really cool video!

hi! i was wondering your what your best cage liner recommendations are, thank you so much! i love you💖

[@chinchillajacqueline4662]

[@kylietiell378]

My chinchilla Sammy won’t stop chewing the bars of his cage. I can’t get him to stop. Can you help me? Sammy has everything he needs but he won’t stop biting the cage!

[@faithb6586]

if you don’t have etsy or things like that, a place you can you get treats from walmart! Plain cheerios, old fashioned oats and shredded mini wheat without the frosting. I typically crush the shredded wheat up before giving it to them :)

[@johnvarallo]

I love how he just canonballed into the box

That was so cool when Merlin climes the wall and jumped on the ledge. Spiderchin!

[@ogtink]

Since most chinchillas are more active at night, what's the best lighting for them at night?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

They have really good eyesight so if you plug in a nightlight behind the cage, that would be the perfect amount of light that they need 💕

[@ogtink]

@@TheChinchillaNotebook Awesome! That's what I've been doing! Thank you so much for responding! I'm about to run out of that carefresh bedding, which I will not be buying anymore. I got Chili about a month and a half ago so I'm hoping he hasn't chewed on any of it while I'm sleeping or at work. But he's acting fine and his 💩 is normal so hopefully I'm switching before he's had a chance to chew it!

[@Locupwithbre]

Exercise ball? Their fur is already 100 degrees... why a ball.. just let the run around in a air conditioned house

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Exactly! It’s so inhumane 💕

[@cathygreen8879]

Many owners give harmful toys to their chin's without realising that they could harm their chinchillas, and many times they either don't know or ca't afford it. You should never get a chin without researching and you must have a very large budget. 🐭

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It’s sad because most genuinely don’t know any better because the employees give out misinformation💕

[@cathygreen8879]

@@TheChinchillaNotebook Thats true. So many die every year, its so sad for the owners and the chins.

[@caiaa]

i’ve learned that chinchillas shouldn’t be using wood bedding but also not paper bedding..... help i’m getting chins soon and i don’t know what bedding to choose! help me pleaseeee

[@Prislw]

Um I think the wood chips for the bedding is a bad idea because it’s can get in to the eye and cause infection

Tennessee, and the house we bought already has a shed so we’ll move them into that as soon as my dad brings electricity to it😄

[@dessiereaburton5581]

Are raisins ok for chinchillas?

[@mariahdurant3224]

No they are very high in sugar

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

One every now and then is okay but in general they have a lot of sugar so I opt for dried goji berries since they have less sugar 💕

[@dessiereaburton5581]

I sleep with a box fan for the noise, will that harm the chinchilla or is it bad

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It shouldn’t be too disruptive 💕

[@kelsietrnka4161]

Is the country harvest blend treats safe for Chinchillas? They sell this product like on Amazon and PetSmart and I can’t tell there actually safe or not. Please let me know!!

[@devynthecatwithsocks9010]

just from first glance I can tell you no. Looking into the ingredients there are papayas, bananas, raisins, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, which are all terrible for chinchillas. Try to stick with rose hips or goji berries or plain oats.

Do chinchillas smell bad? Because I really want one❤️

[@Maria-bi9bo]

I personly dont think they smell but some people might think the hay you have to get for them smells a little :)

[@ryleea588]

I agree with Caitlin because they sort of smell but I think I got used to it by now. It smelled when it is in a room but it doesn’t really travel into the whole house

[@Id1ot_sandwhich]

Is cardboard bad?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It’s only unsafe if you notice them chewing off the pieces, then swallowing the bits. 💕

[@ninja-party-babe4594]

Where do you buy your chinchillas? A pet store or a breeder?

[@ryleea588]

I got mine from a pet store because every time I go there the chins always look sad with a plastic hide and paper bedding. But a breeder would be nixe
