LazyUnicornXP an animal rescue near my house that kept their chins in tiny cages not even suitable for hamsters. i think they just wanted to get rid of them and i didn’t know much about chins at the time so i thought it was fine. probably explains why he was so cheap
$15?! Oml. I see how he could be $15 since he was kept in a cage a lot like that. A standard grey chinny from a breeder is around $130-170. My chin was $150
Same here cuz they had so many they had to put some in bunny cages... Which aren't even big enough for them They just need them gone for the better of the animals
@@TheChinchillaNotebook how much was the carrier been trying to find one late that. Can't find one. The one I have is a cat carrier and he chews the plastic. So I don't want him to have it anymore
He is so adorable I am going to get my chinchilla soon after I finish the cage setup! Your channel has helped me so much, and best of luck on bonding him and Merlin together! 💞
OMG! I never imagined you'd get a 2nd chin knowing what you said about Merlin. I'm so excited for you. Patience patience patience patience etc. You'll know soon enough but the best thing about having more than one chin is when they call each other. My wife says it's their call of solidarity; an almost moaning bleeping noise Example: "HMMMPH, hmmph, hmmph, hmmph." It's very distinct and when they are sleeping, it's the first thing they'll do when they wake. It's like: "Hey! I'm here. When are you?" My chins even respond when I imitate them!
Omg so exciting! Can’t wait to see how the bonding process goes:) I adopted two surrendered chinchillas a flare months ago. They are a mom & daughter bonded pair though so thankfully they adore each other! I hope Merlin & Zorro can do the same :)
I recently just got my chinchilla as well and he came from petsmart, but I am not sure he is used to jumping. Because at petsmart the chins are kept in a one level cage with no ledges🥺. He is three months old and I was wondering if there is a way to teach him how to jump on higher levels
maybe set him on a ledge and tap your fingers on the bottom/next level below, and he will eventually figure it out himself. When he jumps down, tap the ledge and see if he will jump up there. Over time he will learn to jump up, especially if he knows he can get down. This is how I TAUGHT MY CAT TO JUMP ON MY BUNK BED WHEN SHE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO... I was that cat's mother. Her biological mother and siblings were lunch for a husky (at three weeks old). They couldn't find a serogate, so she was never taught cat-things by a real cat. Luckily she had me, who observed our other cat's behavior and knew how to position her body to jump properly, and gave her a little push to force her to jump. After that, so long as I put her on top of the bunk-bed, she could get down by herself. The next night, I showed her how to jump up onto the bunk bed, and by midnight, she was a pro-jumper! 😉 I loved that cat! I was litterally her mother, just human, that's all. 😉 anyways, besides that whole stroy, just be his chinny parent. He'll learn.
New to the channel so not sure if its been asked already, but what kind of fleece liners are those you have laid on the floors of their cages? And where did you get them? They look perfect!
the chinchillas at petco will be from rodent mills so will most likely have health conditions in the future. you’re better off adopting or going to a reputable breeder
You can get chinchillas from PetSmart Petco stopped caring them but it's best to get them from a breeder or rescue the chinchillas you can get from PetSmart come from mills like cheesecake lover said and they sometimes have health issues I got my first chinchilla from PetSmart not know that's it's best to get from breeders and rescues so I would recommend looking for a good breeder or rescue to get a chinchilla😁 (wow this is long but I hope it helps)
I know this sounds crazy but if you want to bond them fast you take them for a drive together put them together in a travel bag and they will bond I've always had success doing that you cant be scared to do it it will work I've been breeding them for 10 years and tell my customers to do that and not once have I had a customer tell me they had an issue doing it this way
Lovely colour in your new chin. Hope he's setting in well? Sorry got another question for you...where/what get is that around Merlin? Please? I'm struggling to find one so high and wide.
It’s called a playpen ^^ you can usually buy them at your local pet store, Amazon or eBay. Usually on eBay or at Petsmart they have lots of good different sizes
Zorro is so cute, can't wait to see more videos of them all together! What kind of playpen and carrier did you get for your chins? I've been trying to find a good playpen and carrier but I haven't made much progress.
Aww I’m so happy you got another chinchilla! I love the name Zorro and he’s so gorgeous! I’ve been watching you since you only had about 1,000 followers this is so special!! 😆 Best of luck with him ❤️
Clarinet Møøn Yes it’s completely fine to have two chinchillas in the size cage Merlin has because there is plenty of space for two chinchillas. Just make sure the chinchillas get along.
Hey, I know this vid is a couple weeks old... But I am going to get a chin "soon" (a month or two) and i need an adequete wheel. I have the cage from my rabbit cleaned( a ferret nation double unit) but my budget is about 90 bucks for EVERYTHING ELSE, food, hay, treats, toys, hides, etc. and i need a 20 dollar maximum that will at least work for an adult rescue chin for like, 3 mo.
This is a frustrating situation, but O did find a wheel on etsy for only $49, and my mother is giving me some money to watch my little siblings with whom I am currently trapped with... So for now, this may be my only option. *sigh...
@@cheesecakevari1445 thanx so much for the info! I have to wait until quarantine is over, anyway... I dont know what I'll do... Probably ill wait a few more weeks at least.... ❤
Jenna Young no problem! another thing i forgot to mention is that chinchillas cannot have a wheel until they’re at least 6 months old as they have bad body temperature control. enjoy your new chinchilla when you get him :)
@@cheesecakevari1445 i did not honestly know that, but she is actually already an adult. I am getting her from a chinchilla rescue over two hours away, as it is one of the only reputable places near me at all, and she is already 2 years old... But that's good information for the future, as I plan on getting her a female friend in the distant future...
The play area for your chinchilla where you let him out, how do you stop him from chewing the skirting boards? I have a good space in a corridor that i like to let my chinchillas out but i have to put cardboard up the sides of the walls so they don't chew!
Harriett Esmee I usually cover with cardboard but when I don’t, I just have to watch him and call him gently when he starts to chew. It’s kinda annoying though so I want to find a good way to cover them up soon😊
Aw, he's so adorable~ That price though and here I thought the nearly 200 I spent on mine was a lot but then again yours has a really nice mutation and i'm sure he'll be a wonderful chinnie~ I want to get another one as well but one i'd need another cage and there aren't any breeders or stores with any chinchillas around here currently.
He’s really cute can you make a blog when your chinchilla last meet and I have a question if I were to get another chinchilla would I have the same toys and food for both so like every thing the same or should I have diffrent themes?
Zorro is very cute and fluffy! I hope he has fun with Merlin in his new home .I hope merlin behaves and not compete for love and affection. I also love the sign!
Also from WA here. We have a male chin named Chili. We would love to know where you got your black metal partition that is between the two cages in this video. Looks like it may used as a playpen. Please let us know! Awesome new Chin!! Congrats🤓
Kelly Hernandez You should try to give it some time to adjust to the wheel, then hopefully in a while it will start to use it correctly! My chinchillas used to do the exact same thing, but after awhile they are completely used to it and using it all the time.
Hoping you can tell me the name of the cage you got on amazon. I have to transport one of my chins to the vet in about a month and have been trying to find that cage without luck. Love your blogs!! You are one of the reasons we bow have 3 chins!!
You paid for quality and that chin must have a great heritage and great features to be more than the usual 300 for a mosaic. Love that you got a mosaic. Maybe a violet or dark velvet in the future years?!! ;)
Can you please tell me where you got your chinchilla transportation cage I’m getting a friend for my baby soon and need a small cage to transport my new little friend :)
Jessica Li Merlin destroys them much faster, in literally a few days. So far Zorro hasn’t been touching his much so I’m pretty sure it just depends on the chinchilla 😊
Hi. Could you link what carrier that is from Amazon? I see some carriers on Amazon but was afraid of the spacing between the bars. Would that carrier be sufficient enough for baby chinchillas? I'm planning to get a pair of chinchillas if possible. Please let us know.
I have a question. I recently got a second chinchilla and my chinchilla the other day was staring at him. He seemed a bit jealous. How do I give them both enough attention?
I love your new Chinny!!! Eeeee!!! Video request!!! Could you do an in-depth video on things you use for your cage? These could be the type of cage you have, cage accessories, best toys for the Chins, etc. Thank you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Never have I clicked so fast!!!!!!!!! AHHH

Can you get a Chinchilla at petco?
Would it be better to adopt one at a store or online? I really want one of these little cuties!
Look on Craigslist and pet rescues for your area first. :)

Jessica Li Merlin destroys them much faster, in literally a few days. So far Zorro hasn’t been touching his much so I’m pretty sure it just depends on the chinchilla 😊

my lava ledge is going on two weeks strong!! it all depends on the chinny :)
