Thanks so much Ally for this video. I am doing everything right except feeding the pellets. I have not been free feeding pellets but I will now thanks to your advice. ❤❤

Hi, I hope all is well. I wanted to know if you have another way to communicate with you? My chin recently had a bad fall. I wanted to get your thoughts on what the Dr is recommending. This is my first time dealing with this and I'm feeling overwhelmed.

You rock, Ally!

[@krystlewilson3663]

I've learned so much from your channel. I'm glad you touched on this topic. I had the experience of buying the ball for my floof not knowing the danger of overheating. He seemed so stressed in it I eventually got rid of it.

Also - id honestly LOVE to see a video (might take a bit of time, & research?) But one comparing what's considered "standard appropriate chin care,cost, QUALITY, what varieties of mutations are available, what the " surrender/rescue situation is like, etc" in different parts of the WORLD?? just from you tube vids I'd say like... Western Europe/near YOU, USA (maybe just North America for Canada too?) Latin/South America, Russia, maybe either do Japan/China separately or just ASIA & then i dunno. That's a lot lol but I've seen some in middle eastern counties some in like... I dunno? Micronesia? New Guinea? Random places "misc."! ,lol. I'm honestly really interested in this....

My chin's name is Jupiter 😊🪐

[@carliecole2563]

SATURN 🪐 he's such an A-List celebrity. Even over here in the states! And THANK YOU for being such a HUMBLE chin owner/breeder. It's SOOOO irritating how 98%< of people who even have owned ONE chin for 6 weeks ALL ACT LIKE they're THE OFFICIAL WALKING, TALKING CHINCHILLA ENCYCLOPEDIA, AND IM GOING TO DISAGREE WITH ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU SAY BECAUSE IM A PROFESSIONAL CHINCHILLA... PERSON!? DAMMIT! SO I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!! .... can't people just ADMIT that literally NO ONE- Animal experts, exotic vets, 3rd generation breeders; doesn't matter. Not NEARLY as much is known about these little guys than, say, cats, dogs, horses, etc... It's so great to hear you say- EVERYTHING that you do?! Your chins are FAR AND BEHIND the most gorgeous, blocky, beautiful & handsome & ADORABLE 😊 Chinchillas on Facebook, hands down!! Id listen to your advice over probably umm, anyone?! ESPECIALLY over the hundreds of know it all teenagers (and younger, and probably some college kids, and some crotchety old folks who still GO BY those ancient chinchilla guide books?!?) on stupid Reddit or Chora forums... Gag. Just last night some moron posted a 1:45 video of their two adult brother chins,, there's a white one sitting on this shelf eating hay, then you see a ...(Ta Brown? Dirty violet or medium ebony?;I can't remember. He just looked kinda brown though but not beige) ANYWAYS, He shows up hopping up to that samr shelf on the far right side of the screen, and then a few seconds later there's some loud "scary noise," so the white one just stops stuffing his fat face momentarily while the brown one jumps across the shelf to be right up against his brother's side/ kind of near his butt- just kinda squished himself up against him as close as he could, I don't think there's a millisecond's worth of "dominance mounting" AT ALL... but he kinda squishes himself up against the side of the white ones but & actually "it's pretty adorable?!* You can see he reaches his little left hand out- probably his right one on the far side of the white bro's butt too- like he came up behind him for a big ol' HUG!? It's honestly pretty adorable, kinda funny he got so spooked & went to bro for comfort, right? WRONG!!! This dumbass posts this video with the caption: CAUGHT MY TWO BROTHER CHINCHILLAS 'DOING THIS' TONIGHT?!!? I'VE ONLY HAD THEM 2 MONTHS SINCE THEY WERE 4 months OLD from a breeder & IM worried???? I've NEVER SEEN THEM 'ACT LIKE THIS"- HELP PLEASE,?!? ... IM sure you can just IMAGINE the skew of absolutely idiotic ," advice comments,' including a couple "Omg TAKE THEM BOTH TO THE VET RIGHT AWay maybe thE BROWN ONE CLAWED THE WHITE ONE AFTER THE WHITE ONE ATTACKED AND SCARED THE BROWN BROTHER OMG SERIOUSLY GO TO AN EXOTIC VET!! " .... comments such as THAT. then the barrage of know it alls telling them how wrong EVERYTHING in the cage is even though ALL YOU CAN SEE is like 2 feet of ONE SHELF with a hay hanger...? Annnd then a small group of people who are like, uhh they're just being Chinchillas??😂😂 (Most appropriate answer in my opinion?!) Jesus people are SOOO DUMB IT HURTS MY BRAIN?!!

[@lenajazuk4231]

When am I going to have chinchillas?🥲 My son is 27 and I can’t get him to move out so I can keep chins in that room!!! I’m 51 and can’t wait to be old to own them I might have to settle for rats instead 🥲

[@AllysAnimalAntics]

Rats are a good pet too, I've never owned them but they look super fun to keep 💜

[@lenajazuk4231]

@@AllysAnimalAntics they get sick a lot during their short 2-3 year life span, they will drain your bank account I’m still hopeful to get chins and maybe rats just to try ones
