My Chinchillas' First Time Meeting

[@cynthia339]

Being able to watch their introductions and get your analysis is so valuable. There's so little information available about chinchilla bonding. Thank you! 🐭🐭

[@chinpals]

Aw you're so welcome! I was excited to finally be able to do this series!

[@daykibaran9668]

Greetings to the time traveler

[@melissa-wilson]

Agreed! She's brilliant. It's evident she provides the lifelong emotional, financial, and health requirements these Chinchillas need.

[@admiraltiberius1989]

Knox and Finn are so cute together. Plus their colors are such a contrast.

[@cpoguemahone]

Even Finn picks on Knox's ears. 😂 poor Knoxy. Lol It is wonderful to see them interacting, I've been waiting for this video ❤❤

[@chinpals]

HA omg no way you're right 😂

[@m.jewell9107]

You're a genius for introducing them together with the dust bath, setting them down in it directly! Chinnies love a communal life, so shared dustbaths not only help everyone smell the same, the exposed tummy and clumsy stage of getting back on their feet shows building trust and acceptance. Have you ever sprinkled a little dust on the backs of the fellas who don't quite do the full roll? Also, I know Chins 'recycle' their poo, but would a chin ever eat another's? Finn's jumps to the shelf were amazing, love that they can get higher with their ricochet jumps. One of my chins could reach the doorknob this way during playtime!

[@jenniehale6523]

Finn's jumping ability is impressive. And, it's cool to see that Knox is abaou 1/3 bigger than Finn. Thank you for the running commentary, I have no context to what I was watching on my own. They do seem to be getting along peacefully!

[@chinpals]

Thanks for saying that because tbh I was going back and forth with cutting out my commentary haha I'm glad its helpful!!

[@melindastonehouse]

Thank you for sharing this update; it's so exciting that the bonding is going so well!

[@sandwich3044]

Thanks for this, there isnt too much on bonding and your videos are extremely informative. Glad their process is going so well and smoothly!

[@leafyxcrowy4eva]

I love watching them from the top down perspective, they look like little pears with ears

[@taytayy0821]

Super cute, yet informative video! THANK YOU 😍😍 glad to see they are bonding!

[@beyond-the-night]

They are too cute with each other!!! When they both hopped onto you was absolutely adorable~~ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

[@KagomesSelf]

Finn seems like a really sweet boy. So so cute! So happy to see a video like this of great interactions of two male chinchillas. I have two girls that are very bonded and my youngest is a little rough in grooming and the older one kaks if she is doing it too hard but she is learning since she is baby. I love chinchilla interactions so much. Thanks for uploading!

[@chinchilla6547]

Love to see such a beautiful bonding! Can’t wait for the lil Yin and Yang pair to start snuggling! ☯️

[@thunderquillradio]

Is is bad that I've been obsessively waiting for this video? I don't care. THEY WERE ADORABLE!

[@BB_Clips123]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

[@ulrikekerp5035]

The first meeting was really good! They are both so friendly and so cute! ❤😘

[@cowbread101]

Your videos are such an inspiration and I love your videos. I have been planning on getting a chinchilla and your channel has helped so much. Thank you

[@TheLindagdetroit]

I'm only at 04:18 and seriously this is the most chilled chin introduction I've ever seen. Like... not even a hint of peeing at each other😂

[@MothGirl007]

Finn's leaps are Chin Olympic worthy! 🏅 I think he and Knox are going to be besties and I'm so happy for both of them - they're both such adorable bois. 🐭🐭🥰

[@lucyknox1745]

chin dust baths are the cutest things on the planet!

[@ClaudiaCarozza-u9o]

Thank you!!! I have one chin and getting another one soon and this rlly helped!! Love the chins!

[@derchristianausffo]

They really doing so well together! That's wonderful! 😍😍😍

[@GothicPoet]

Your mood helps them too. You are doing great. Your personality is perfect for the Chinchilla's. I think they are going to be great siblings. Chinchillas are so cute and soft.

[@missykim510]

Wow, this went really well! I tried to bond my chinnies *once*. It lasted about 5 seconds. Pixel made it very very clear that she hates everything that crawls, walks, swims or flies. So, the live side by side, in separate cages.

[@MothGirl007]

Pixel is a super cute name!

[@comatensor7080]

been waiting for that one!

[@mbenjamin292]

You are one of the sweetest person on youtube.😊

[@StNowhere]

As someone who is getting ready to bond two chinchillas for the first time, I am so thankful for this!

[@susanmj1160]

Holy WOW Finns a jumper!

[@avery4747]

Thank you so much for makeing all ur videos! They are super helpful for me! Especially because I want to add a new chin to the mix!

[@lornarettig3215]

I’m so happy the two of them seem to get along great! How nice to have a new friend!

[@Acat_143]

Cutenes overload !!!

[@drea2152]

Yayy!! they both are so cute

[@lohunaa]

a bunch of chillchillas ❤

[@stephenpowell5912]

So Adorable ❤😢🥺😍🥰🤩

[@Jonathan2.0-n]

Yes!

[@Random_person947]

There all so lucky to have the best chinchilla mommy like you

[@mirofeya]

I think at that first face to face interaction, Finn was interested in exploring and excited. I bet he didn't have all of that at his last place. Also, it look like they both a looking how to escape.

[@lydiapurple]

So precious!!!❤❤

[@apearson79]

Wow what a great first meeting! 😊

[@MarianMoreno-Nava]

You should try making a video where 2 chins (Linus and Knox maybe) rob a bank and Chip and Henry and Finn would be police officers. It would be so cute!

[@Nanetteb]

So cute!

[@BenTurner-n6k]

They’re so cute I love them!!!! I just don’t think I can watch this for a full thirteen minutes😅

[@LUKING_69]

Chinchilas ITS mega CUTE❤❤❤❤

[@RegiPavan]

[@PugGamer.]

[@Mikal-p2v]

You said they very chill that why they have chill in chinchilla

[@rebeckahstpeter7903]

[@inesborstel5592]

❤

[@HorseyGrace127]

Does anyone know if they are both neutered

[@dreadiethedreadhead3207]

Hi, i have a question, so i have a female chinchilla who was not treated right her first year,she is 3 yrs old, she is aggressive but only when you go to clean and get her out for play time, so today i got another female. She is about 6-8 months old. I have them about 6 inches apart in two different cages, how do you think i should bond them?

[@tracyjacoby2382]

I am calling you the Chinchilla Whisperer, WOW!!👍😀 I'm a newer viewer so I think Knox is black & Finn is white, sorry if it's reverse, they are so beautiful!!🤗💕💕

[@TafWasHere]

Nice😂

[@davidmcdavidson999]

They're so cute

[@ericfaith2810]

I wonder if they try to play the uh 'dominate' game like cavies (guinea pigs) do? I hope they get along and become good 😊👍 friends. Best O' luck! ☘️🍀

[@Maciej-t6d]

1:40 ☯️

[@Larrytheskeleton0]

Where can I get one

[@daykibaran9668]

I greet all the time travelers 👋🏻

[@tetra3000]

Good luck its definitely not an easy thing to do

[@coolbudYT]

Was this members only because this is 12 sec ago and there's comments 1 day ago?

[@chinpals]

I release our KZbin videos on Patreon a few days early so they have the first look! ☺

[@coolbudYT]

@@chinpals Nice. I am too young for donating!

[@banana-yx3ei]

They are chubby and cute!!!!! I wish i can pat them through the screen

[@SeanCox-ic3fm]

awww🥹🥹

[@Skyfoxx23]

Where is that sea grass Matt from?

[@nicoleingram7480]

So I have one chin and I follow a page on fb that is ran by breeders that have a lot of knowledgeable info. They said when introducing to live with one another they do what is called the "smoosh* method which is putting them in a tiny carrier to see if they get along. So overall i guess what im asking is, are you putting them together in the shower to see how they will get along outside the cage or to live with eachother. No hate just curious!

[@craec1243]

Any predictions on whether Knox or Finn will be the more dominant Chin?

[@Chungis-e4j]

Why does Linus not play with Finn? He’s Linus not friendly😂😂

[@juniorb2286]

I did all

[@cocopebbles15739]

Hi

[@JulieStorm]

I have one question I am Getting a chinchilla And I don't know what to do And how the chinchilla can get used to me Can you please tell me

[@jean181994]

Who from your chins are girls and boys?

[@capricedowsland3068]

My Widget, my chinchilla did all the same behavior Finn did to Knox with my rabbit but my rabbit got thoroughly ticked off from the bite, unlike Knox, and the rabbit, Lord Elrond, will never forgive Widget.and Widget cacks at Elrond always. I can't understand why two prey animals hate each other but Elrond is best buds with my boyfriend's dog , a predator.
