I've been a chinchilla owner for 5 and a half years now. I remember how much I loved chinchillas by watching videos on KZbin and I really wanted to buy one. I'm guilty of not paying so much attention to him nowadays but I'm trying to talk to him and take him out and pet him every now and then. This video also reminded me how much magical these animals seemed to me some years ago and npw it's reality to me XD For example you mentioned how good it feels to pet them and it's like a treat being able to pet such an animal every day. I had forgotten how lucky I am for this. Also I really like your channel. Keep it up good job! :) Your videos are very instructive and fun

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

RacoonGreg I’m so glad to hear that. Yes, some days I feel like he’s more of a burden than a joy and every time I need to stop myself and take a step back I remind myself how privileged I am to own him. 😊

[@jeffgoldbloom4918]

I like that you described what you meant by low maintenance. Yes chinchillas have a very easy but strict diet to follow. However sometimes people don’t realize that there are many things that are not considered low maintenance such as TONS of social stimulation (especially if the person only has one), maintaining a room temperature below 75 degrees consistently, making sure they have enough room to run and play, keeping them safe from everyday household materials that can be harmful to them such as wires DRYER SHEETS(very deadly) etc making sure their cage is big enough, making sure they’re healthy(ears feel soft and velvety, no crud around eyes and nose, smooth fur the chinchilla is not biting chunks of fur off, teeth are filed down, no slobber around mouth). I viewed some of your vids and I recently subscribed. you know your stuff. Keep it up!!

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

jeff goldbloom Yes, you are completely right. Chinchillas are not just cats or dogs that you can leave to roam alone all day. They need to be well taken cared of and watched. And I’m so glad I can help others out there with the proper way to do all that😊💕

I have had my chinchilla for over a month and she was ill within 2 weeks of getting her from petsmart with a UTI and if I didn’t notice the change in her stool I would have never known because she hid it so well with how she continued to play and eat. Thank you so much for your information!!

[@cam41567]

You beater post some vids bro

[@winterriseroo8332]

My mother cooks and if they don't smell it's amazing so I guess I will get this! :)

[@Stephanie568]

Rabbits themselves don't smell, it's mostly their urine, every so often their scent glands but rabbits themselves, nope. I have 2 rabbits and the smelling issue we have is their litterbox. If there's anyone that has rabbits and you're having smell issues I suggest watching 101rabbits' newest video. Also did you add rabbits to the rodent family? If so that's not correct, rabbits are Lagomorphs. (Sorry if I spelled that wrong) By the way, loving your chinchilla videos! Very educational and cool, keep up the great work!

[@dremora9193]

Most Chinchillas do chew, like most pet rodents their teeth groe continously their whole lives. Even if they dont chew on their hammocks, it doesnt mean they cant. Chinchillas hearing is more sensitive than a humans, but they hear similar frequencies to humans. Putting your chin a quiet place is a good idea, because loud noises can upset them. They need dust baths 4-5 times a week, so you have to be ready to deal with all that dust.

[@TheNishka1]

[@mikewelch8379]

Very informative. Their teeth don't continue to grow like other rodents? I would like to hear what the Chinchilla has to say about all this. Do they like humans, or merely tolerate us? They sure are fast, do they try to escape?

[@nevonacreighton2832]

I've been binging your channel and I am loving it! One thing I have been noticing tho as a rabbit owner is that you mention rabbits a lot😅 rabbits shouldnt have a smell if taken care of well (littertrained, litter is kept clean, given enough space, ect.) And rabbits arent rodents, they're lagomorphs. The only thing that may have a smell concerning rabbits is their hay, I use orchard grass so it's not as bad as timothy but the rabbit themselves are practically odorless. My inner rabbit mom felt compelled to say that😂 I am really loving your channel tho and have subscribed❤

hello everyone who has a chinchilla, i just turned 10 and working hard and saving up for a chinchilla. they’ve been my dream pet for a few years and i have some questions. before i get into the questions, i’ve done a LONG essay about chinchilla facts, (i picked a chinchilla) but i need some more facts. here are the one’s i’m wondering: 1. are they good for 10 year olds? 2. which breed is good for a first chinchilla? 3. can i leave them with 2 rabbits? 4. how often should you give treats? like 3 times a month? 5: what are the best ways to play with them? if you answer some, thank you!! i can’t wait for a future chinchilla. - weird girl who loves chinchillas and gets called chicken

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Nathalie & The Bunnies 1. Usually I recommend being a few years older than that. They are not very good for children and often they get bored fast since most Chinchillas dislike being held. 2. There is only one breed in domestication, which is the long tailed chinchillas😊 3. You cannot have Chinchillas in a cage with any other animal species, especially rabbits who have to have a completely different cage set up. 4. Treats can be given a few times a week. Just sparingly. 5. Let them out in a safe, chin-proofed room and supervise them carefully

[@hjzjsjs1168]

The Chinchilla Notebook okay, thank you! i’ll try to have adult supervision most if the time. tell merlin i said hii :3

Hi, I was thinking of buying a chinchilla buts have some questions before I do. 1) Do you recommend a gender 2) Where is a good place to buy a chinchilla? 3) If I have school, will it be okay home alone? If you are reading this, thanks for your patients.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Sarah Travis 1. I’ve never had a girl but I’ve been told it doesn’t really matter. 2. A good place is a breeder or rescue (but if you don’t have those options within hours of home a pet store is the last place you can go to. I don’t recommend it but it’s a choice. Also you can try looking up ads for chinnies online in your area) 3. Chinchillas are usually mostly sleepy in the day time so it’s totally okay if you leave for most of the day. Just make sure to give them playtime at night or early morning😉💕

I have an older male, I then got a female. I introduced them by putting their cages together slowly. Once I added her they seem to like each other. I keep my eye out. I have a 5 story cage at the time I had no idea they ate wood as much!! I wish I got metal. I give them dried strawberries once a day. They sleep in the back extra room. The older boy loves attention and the girl doesn't. My question is do they mate. what do I do? Separate them. It's hard to find this info. I've had guinea pigs years ago they mated like crazy. I know they are different and I can't find much. Do I separate after I find out or maybe she won't, thanks

It takes me like 20 minutes to sweep my chinchilla cage lol. My cage is a bit different tho. The doors are small and it’s hard to reach. There’s 6ish floors. I sweep it daily.

[@guyroo9974]

In a chinchilla cage can you use paper bedding such as carefresh Or do they need to have fleece bedding? Also for a chinchilla wheel is it ok to use s plastic plastic wheel cause I know it’s not good for them to have plastic in their cage but all the good wheels are plastic.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Guyroo 5 Actually, all the bad wheels are plastic. Don't buy anything from any pet stores because the Chinchilla labeled wheels are not only plastic, but far too small. The wheel needs to be at least 15 inches in diameter and wooden or metal. I have a video on Good And Bad Chinchilla Wheels you should watch. Also, carefresh isn't a good choice because it is paper based and not healthy for Chinchillas to digest, but you don't only have to use fleece. You can use particular wood shavings but there are also many toxic kinds out there so make sure you do your research. I have a video on Chinchilla beddings as well. Hope this helped!:)

[@guyroo9974]

The Chinchilla Notebook, Thank you for answering my questions! I will watch your safe wheel video and look into some safe wood beddings.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Guyroo 5 My pleasure!:)

[@samk4379]

Guyroo 5 actually, The Chinchilla Notebook isn’t a professional nor does she know health facts as correct as professionals like the KZbin channel “Happy Tails”. Carefresh is the best bedding for chinchillas. It is true that Carefresh isn’t too good for chinchillas to digest, but most chinchillas will NOT eat it since it doesn’t taste Goodall as long as they have toys to play with. KZbin is a great platform to get info from, but make sure that you also get facts from people who actually went to school for this. In no way am I trying to offend The Chinchilla Notebook, but a 12 year old isn’t the best source for important health info.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Alright, first of all yes, I am not a professional and nor have I gone to school. But assuming my age and using your guess to infer that I don't know what I'm talking about is kind of rude. There was a way of getting your point across without guessing my age and bringing it into this. (you are quite off on the age guess, by the way. I mean, I suppose the camera makes me sound like a little kid) :D Secondly, I just researched Carefresh bedding and found that you're right: it is a safe bedding to use for chinchillas. I mistakened it for Kaytee bedding which is bad, and I apologize. Sorry for the mistake! I do have experience with chinchillas and I have my reasons for staying away from any beddings besides fleece because I have bad experiences with past beddings with other chinchillas. For me, all bedding besides fleece and tile scare me because of my experiences with them so naturally the first thought was that it was bad. And I have put nothing of my age or every experience I've had on the internet, either. But I do appreciate that you saw and corrected my mistake (I'm not perfect as everyone can clearly see!) :)

They had this crazy damn out fit on the animal. Then things started getting crazy, my wife found some sunglasses that came with Behtleen's Barbie doll, and put them on the furry little varmint. Then on top of that they made the chinchilla ride around on a Roomba vacuum with a little american flag tied to his tail, If I hadn't seen it myself I would never believed it.

I dont know a lot about chinchillas but even I know that you shouldn't keep them alone since they're social animals. I don't get how you can love animals and treat them badly at the same time

[@sweetdreamz9282]

Fee Müller especially since chinchillas are very sensitive animals. They can get depression if they don’t have a chinchilla friends

Can you pick them up and like cuddle i guess you can say...?

You are not suppose to clean up all of their poop. They eat it and it’s required for their diet.

[@thearchives122]

That's wrong. You do need to clean it. If you dont, it doesn't smell good and it can pose a health hazard to your chinchilla

[@Vinylicc]

Do you have chinchillas? They eat poop but you need to clean it
