    I’ve just recently received a chinchilla as a Christmas gift from my sister after two of my three rabbits passed away one passed away in my arms. An I’ve been using these videos and others like them to help learn the best to care for her. Right know my major goal is to win her trust and affection. Shes still young and small so but I hope someday she’ll allow me to hold and pet her someday.

    Great content! I feel guilty now for not letting them out to play as often as I'd like. 1/2 times a week for us, but usually for at least an hour while we clean the cage.
    We have 2. One *loves* what we call pillow treats - niblots flavoured treats that look a bit like shreddies. One refuses most treats but will try to steal human treats like crackers and fig roll.
    Love my boys ^^

    Love your channel!! My family recently bought 2 chins for Xmas for me and I love them so much!! Your channel has helped alot.. also I was told by the person who sold them to us.. that if I'm ever unsure about toys.. that bird toys are actually good for them too because the majority of them would be just wood toys and chins are ok with these.. mine seem to love the wicker balls and boredom chews ATM but I want to buy them more of a variety so thank you :)

    Such a great video!! They really need huge cages and a whole room to run around in (just like you have) I have a double critter nation for my girl with a 16" wheel and let her out for playtime in a big chin safe room at night. Chews are definitely a running expense!! I love pandamonium pets 😊

    My chin is super shy, she doesn’t like to be held, but she loves scratches. I have to ask her permission first, if I don’t she’ll be mad at me😅 she definitely responds to when I talk to her which is nice too. It’s been hard to bond since her sister passed.

    All such important information!! Would have loved to know a few more of these tidbits back when I rescued my first chin. 🐭
    My chin floofs all love the sticks from NOLA Chin Rescue, per your recommendation to us! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
    Question for you, if I may ask? - Have you ever had a batch of sticks (from other sources than you listed) be less “dried out” than you’d expect? I’ve seen a stick or two in one of our batches look a little green on the inside, and that worries me. Especially since 3/4 chins have suddenly had unexpected gut issues after being completely fine? The only common denominator is the green-ish sticks? ☹️ Could be something else affecting them, but the environment, food supply, play area have all been status quo? Maybe a bad batch of hay that didn’t affect 1/4 somehow?

    I have never kept my chin in a cage, ever. I have never owned a cage. It is hard to do, it takes major preparation and work to keep it safe. After 2 years he has never had any health issues, plus no vet trips. You MUST chinproof everything you own in it's room though.

    I live on a farm so all that chinchilla material is very necessary. A wheel a handful of grass and above all safe wood. There are dogs and cats so chinchillas would have a life expectancy of thirty years or less.

I really would like to know how to potty train him, but I didn't see on your channel that you had a video about that. I'd like your opinion, as I think you have a ton of knowledge on these cute animals. I would really appreciate it.

    I wish l had computers and you when l owned one in 1980. So much to learn. I came across a shocking book from the 60’s about breeding chinchilla’s for their fur. Awful. But things happen and once there was slavery Etc. My zchinchilla in his metal cage made such a noise after 8pm. Through the day he slept. If one wishes to get one of these. Please think about this issue. brilliant channel. Thank you.

    great video!!
    if you happen to be answering questions, i was wondering if you could give any advice. we recently adopted some chins and while they've clearly been socialized well previously (walking up to us when we approach, even climbing on us from the second floor of the cage) we're not sure how to transfer the chins from cage to play area without grabbing them. they're obviously not big fans of that and while i plan on training them to see if ican get them to at least tolerate it id like to not resort to that until then. they're clearly getting a bit pent up and while im waiting for a chin spin, id like to release some of their energy. what would you advise?

    I know that this is a random question, but since you have male chinchillas, what do you do when they go through a hor*y stage. Especially when it seems uncontrolled and every day. I didn’t think that they could be like this when I got him from the pet store, and there was no warning.
