The heart attack position is the perfect name for that sleeping position. One of mine likes to sleep on her side half the time until her sister pokes her and wakes her up. I prefer the happy idea for popcorning too, one of them does it whenever there’s a new toy or she gets a treat. The other has only started doing it now I let them loose in the bathroom, she seems to like it in there. Definitely the more fun explanation!

Here’s for people who need to get off KZbin and need the facts right away. (Random I know but I had to..). 1:Chinchillas eat their own poop. 2:Male Chinchillas clean their male parts, and it extends- 3:Chinchillas have stink glands and can release a smell. 4:Chinchillas can sleep in very weird positions, legs in the air, side, back, standing up, etc. 5:Chinchillas can do something called “popcorning”, it’s when they have a lot of energy and work it off, or they’re just happy.

I own my chinchilla for almost 3 years already it will make 3 years next month, and when I got my chinchilla since I never saw one neither took care of one the heart position scared me. One day she was laid down on the ground of the cage sleeping and when I returned home as always I came to greet her, when I saw her like that I thought she was dead. I opened the cage calling her name and no reaction, I grabbed her and started to cry and calling desperately for her and in the mean time she woke up startled staring at me surprised, after that episode she never slept again like that. I love her so much and she is everything to me.

It's really scary when they sleep on their sides, no matter how many times I see it I always panic thinking that they are not okay. When I check on them, they get up and look really annoyed with me for disturbing their sleep.

I had a chinchilla yrs ago and never had no problem w/ it sleeping weird. I'll never forget cause I got it at a small pet store and i left her at home one day and when we returned home i went in the bedroom right away to see her and it wasn't just her anymore. Here she had, had a baby. Apparently I got her from the pet store when she was pregnant. They did just give her to me so maybe they knew. Who knows. Pretty cool though I think.

One thing I learned is that chinchillas are prone to getting cysts below the surface of the skin in their old age. My baby girl had to be put down around age 14 because she kept getting them and was in so much pain to the point she couldn't move and sometimes they popped and became an open wound. I first found out when I picked her up and felt the wound on her belly. We cleaned it up, shaved the fur around it, and kept it clean and it healed very well, but it kept happening and eventually she got one on her neck that affected her breathing. We decided to put her down after that. It's very sad to think about but I think it's important to know and look out for as they approach old age.

I have 6 chinchillas and they popcorn at times I would expect them to be happy. When they see a chinchilla family member that’s been in isolation they popcorn. When I first let them out of their cage they popcorn. My babies seem to popcorn a lot more than the adults. In my heart I am positive that they are happy when they jump like that.

Those whiskers really do whisk one. More than just for feeling, I believe they are static-electrical sensors of some sort, by which means they gather vital sensations about their environment. _ : _

Thanks for your comment, there is no need to be concerned I only had a cold and chinchillas can't catch the cold virus . The only two things that are contagious to them really are streptococcus (strep throat) and conjunctivitis (pink eye). It's always good to be cautious though, if I ever have a chesty cough that could be bacterial I don't handle them... But in this instance I just had a common cold so no chance of my chinchilla catching it 🙂

My chinchillas do the second thing but our vet told us that they were both girls so when we first saw it we were really confused so we’re going to take them back because I read somewhere that it’s hard to sex them when they are young - hopefully we can find out this time

Yeah sounds like you may have a boy. Females do clean down there as well, but it's super obvious when it's a boy , it's a sight to behold 😳 Good idea to take them back to the vet to confirm it though. I also have a video on how to sex chinchillas which may help you a bit, but if you're not confident in doing it the vet should be able to tell you really easily.

no don't worry, he's probably doing it at night when your not about. Just make sure you check for fur / hair rings quite regularly (once a month) to make sure everything is alright down there.

I had an old female chinchilla and I swear she would popcorn when she was mad. I called it rage hops. I miss her and her sassy attitude. She also released the scent quite often. Again when she was mad. She never pee sprayed me though. Good girl that she was.

Hi some of my chinchillas like the one in this video I have bred and have handled them every day since they were born so they are quite used to being handled. I am really lucky that some of my other chinchillas have really calm temperaments and don't mind being handled. But it does take time and patience for chinchillas to be comfortable with handling. I do have a video on how to help tame a chinchilla which goes through some of the techniques I use to get a chinchilla used to me. I have a few chinchillas that do not like being handled at all, for those chinchillas I interact with them during their playtime, instead of handling them I let them come to me , they will often jump on my lap but I know I would never be able to pick them up and handle them the way I do with my other chinchillas, I just have to respect that 🙂

@@AllysAnimalAntics thanks so much for your detailed advice and helpful videos! I really hope that my chinchilla will eventually learn to enjoy being held. He has come from a pet store where I think he was slightly traumatized and now he is about 7 months old after living with me for 3 months. He has sat in my hand on only a couple of occassions and not for long. I do hope I will be able to tame him even more and get used to relaxing in my hand. Thank you again and love your videos!

I have a chinchillla. I’ve never seen it ever eat it’s own poop, but I can tell you that they are the messiest animals in the whole world. They are not loving at all and won’t sit still for two seconds. They won’t be cuddling with you. They love dust baths and like to suck their peckers until explosion. I watch when he does this. He is not ashamed. They are so messy and they are so quick and fast. I love mine though
