When I got my chinchilla,Ollie his previous owners were feeding him super cheap chinchilla food that had a bunch of the unhealthy treats in it and he hardly ever ate the actual pellets.

VanillaChinchilla most of them like the taste of Oxbow (it smells sweet like chocolate, which helps a lot lol), but even ones that are very stubborn will eventually eat the oxbow if you only give them food and hay for a week or so (no treats at all for that time). They will act like they are starving for a couple days, so you can measure the amount of food out each day to be sure they are actually eating it (they will usually sneak it, and act like they are not eating it when you are watching). some are smarter (sneakier? LoL) than others, and will hide the pellets under hay or bedding, so look out for that.
@greenbeancootyqueen87566 жыл бұрын
@@vanillachinchilla5106 what I did, was I slowly transitioned him until he was out of the old stuff and now he eats all his pellets every day. Sometimes he eats more pellets than he eats hay! I've learned that hes not a huge fan of Timothy Hay, he LOVES alfalfa hay, so I think that's why he likes the pellets so much. Ollie hates sweets though, so that's what makes me laugh

Kristjona Daniels they make lots of other types of hay too. I have some chins (I have 14 lol) that won’t eat Timothy hay but love meadow grass, and some that like oat hay. I usually buy big bags of several and mix them every day. I also noticed when I switched from one brand of Timothy hay to another brand (American Diner brand-drs foster and smith sell it online and it’s much cheaper than the big pet store stuff) they liked that one better.

I’m relearning how to take care of chinchillas since I had one when I was in middle school and i was thinking of getting a pair. I feel so much guilt watching because I didn’t provide enough for him and now i know this. Although i was only 12 at the time and I’m 27 now, i feel like I should’ve had better judgement with my chin, i still feel like i made him more lonely than he already was, i’m glad he went off to a good home when I realized I couldn’t take care of him and he even met a partner and had chinchilla babies. He was so much better off in that home and now I’m much more aware and conscious of what I’m doing now to provide the best care for my new girls. Thank you for the humbling videos

I have a 3 year old chinchilla named Walter. He has always been on his own so I brought two brothers to try and bond them all so he’s not alone. They don’t get along while they are out but their cages are next to each other and they will all talk together, something that Walter had never done when he was alone. So I think it’s definitely worth getting another chinchilla so they can socialise and it’s lovely to see even if it’s not in the same cage 😁

joe blanton Merlin poops anywhere he pleases (which is pretty much throughout the entire cage) and I have to sweep up the poop everyday. As far as pee, he mostly pees on the very bottom in the corner and it goes through the bars and onto some fabric I have below to catch it. If he pees on the fleece, which he does occasionally, it’s okay because I have an absorbent layer beneath and wash the fleece every week😉💕

@ChinVillain4 жыл бұрын
As long as their cage is large enough and is filled with accessories that encourage running, jumping, and climbing, they do not need a wheel. Many breeders actually suggest against a wheel because chinchillas are very susceptible to heat stroke. Also, many times a chinchilla will become obsessed with running on a wheel to the point where they lose too must weight; however, you can still use a wheel if they are in a cool enough environment (72 degrees Fahrenheit or lower), and you make sure that they are not consistently running on it. If you decide a wheel is right for your chinchilla, make sure that it is 15" or larger, that it is not plastic, and has a solid bottom running surface.

Hi, I Got a call one day to see if i would take in 2 chinchillas they were rescued from at a house they had been abandoned in. I went to several vets that said they specialise in chinchillas saying that they were both healthy but i knew Snuffles wasnt well i could tell. I took him to a different vet and found out that he was actually older then the other one and had diabeties and was blind and sadly had to be put down. Iv tried my hardest to do the best for the other chinchilla Sonic. But struggle to find the resources i need. He doesnt like his peeltes and started to loose weight so i tried several different types of food and mixes. But sadly due to an injury that sonic had occured before i rescued him. He sometimes struggles to move or jump i had a customised cadge like you'res but it was hurting him. I went to the vets he is now on pain relief and is okay but i had to change the cadge still to suit his health issues. The vets say hes healthy enough not to be put down. He now has a customised huge rabbit cadge. I was just wondering what else i could do to help as hes not really friendly with other chinchillas and has such specific medical issue. :/

Rachel Moss It’s hard to say in this situation but I’d say just spend lots of time with your chinnie and if you ever have any serious concerns, ask your vet because I don’t want to say anything specific because of the medical problems. But sounds like you’re doing pretty well. Because he can’t have another partner, though, make sure you give him lots of interaction💕

The fresh pine has sap in the wood that is toxic to them. And if you can cover plastic with fleece and ensure your chinnie doesn’t get to it, it’s perfectly fine 😊

Vivianadiva I have two chinchillas (I’ve owned them a little over a year) and they use just one dust bath. Though, because their living conditions isn’t big I take them out and let them run (during that ill usually bathe) I use a little box, it’s probably 8x6 inches. (Not sure) but the two will run around and bathe in it together no problem. The only thing I would recommend getting two huts.

Daily_Tea Its best not to as domesticated chinchillas don’t have strong immune systems and are susceptible to many kinds of illnesses 💕

I was wondering do you need to have a bigger habitat if you have two chinchillas, if so how much bigger?

Hi! I have an animal room and my room. Should I keep my chinchilla in my room because I have guinea pigs in the other room and they can be very loud

Addison Meek As long as they can sleep peacefully for most of the day it should be okay. Be aware that if you are a light sleeper, you might be slightly disrupted by them as they tend to make noise at night. Not a lot, but they still do a bit ☺️
