Hi! I've been watching allot of your videos and I wanted to tell you that your doing a great job with skipper, but I noticed that allot of the people in the comments are trying help you improve on your chinchilla care and you're not listening. These people are just trying to help and allot of what they're saying is very true and I hope you know they're just looking out for you. When I first got my chinchilla I thought that I knew everything there was to know about chinchillas but compared to what I know now I knew nothing. There's always more to learn and accepting suggestions is a great way to learn! You're very lucky that you have all of your subscribers to help you so please listen to what they say. Your chinchillas life would improve so much and I'm sure that's what you want so please listen. I hope that you have a great day!
Please get the two story cage for your chin! They need two. You can also make cage liners without sewing and use binder clips to hold it down. You need more ledges, throw toys, and make sure your pellets are just pellets. No extra things!
natalie garringer he has lots of toys including two hanging ones and smaller wood ones just grown into the cage. It is good to see fleece liners or they will fall apart or the chinchilla will “dig” or play with it and it will come undone and the cage floor will be exposed. his are sewn. Also he has just pellets 😊
I’m so sorry, I know how it feels to be so close to a pet and loose them. My rabbit died around 2 years ago and that was very hard. I can’t tell you that you will stop missing him, but over time you will feel better, and even though you won’t be able to hold him and snuggle, he’s still sticking around you in your heart! Have a wonderful day and many more to come
I am so sorry for your loss, I know it is especially hard when they live so long and you make that connection so strong. I hope everything gets better soon!
Hi! I am in love with skipper! He’s so cute! I just want to say that he don’t need fruit or treats. One treat a day at the minimum. Try crushed rose hips♥️ Much love😘
That cage is not a good cage. You need at least a two story cage for them. The best cage I would say is the critter nation or ferret nation cage on amazon. They are extremely expensive but good cages. I recommend reading this website called planet chills and watching the Chinchilla notebook. Those are good reliable sources. And also pls cover the pans and ramp with fleece.
Kiana Brumbaugh it has to be a two level cage because they jump really high. I am not trying to be mean I am just trying to help you. I really recommend you to reading planet chinchilla and watching the Chinchilla notebook. I have had my chinchilla for about a year now I had the cage you have and my chin was not happy. Now that he can jump high and go crazy he is the happiest I have ever seen him. I am just trying to help you to give your chinchilla a good life. Again not trying to be mean.
Skipper liked her new home but I felt they are very energetic so when Skipper got uses with her cage she just went out to explore the space her flufiness level is melting 😅
I do not think a chinchilla will affect your asthma. They do not require more than wathcing them during a "play time" and sitting at the cage to clean or fill food. :))
great question! most people recommend to get two chinchillas unless they have some social issues which you would be told about when adopting them. getting two chinchillas from one store is great because they already bonded!
Wait no fair how yours let you pick him out if you just met him 😩😩😩😩😩it been like 2 months and my chinchilla still don’t like me and I been the nicest to him you know what 😩😩😩
haha awww! well idk if i would say he let me, but you’re doing the right thing and being patient and kind to him. always let him choose :)) it takes different amounts of time for different chinchillas
Hi okay one thing when chinchillas are in pairs like that they need to go home with their companions. It’s like 4lifers!! Chinchillas should be in pairs
They don’t need to be in pairs but it is best, unless they have a social issue. But if you have a single chinchilla just make sure to spend extra time with it or get it a “chinchilla buddy” (a stuffed animal that is safe for chinchillas”
Nothing against you, but I am just wondering why so many Americans have chinchillas on their own. In our country its not allowed to keep them alone unless they have issues, but if you adopt or buy a chinchilla from a breeder they will only give you the chinchilla if you chose 2 chins or more. They will pair the chins so they make sure they will be able to be together. Here in my country they specificly say they are social animals just like rabbits and Gerbils for example. I have 2 chinchilla males right now. I cant imagen them keeping them alone.
Merlin & Hamsters oh some keep them alone because they are territorial but for me I am getting a second Chinchilla , some people start with one and then get another like me
Super cute❤️❤️ but, I can’t tell what the hay rack is made of but please make sure that it’s not plastic as it is very toxic to chinchilla when and if they chew it. My only other concern is that the plastic is exposed under the bedding. There are metal trays that you can buy for that purpose. Other then that he looks very happy
Adorable he looks like my Max. They are such a great pet to have. Mine gets excited to see me 🤗

Did you learn that from the chinchilla notebook?
@@kianabrumbaugh you still need a two story cage though.
It’s fine to have a one story cage for baby chinchillas
I’d recommend getting the 2 story unit instead so they have more room to run and jump
He seems very happy with his new home!
So cute
He’s so cute!!
Audrey Almeida ikr!!!!
I really want a chinchilla! Skipper is so cute!!!
Mine died today we had him for 8 years he was my best friend I miss him so much he died an hour ago I have been crying ever since
I’m so sorry, I know how it feels to be so close to a pet and loose them. My rabbit died around 2 years ago and that was very hard.

@@l4rkm3ss thank you
I am so sorry for your loss, I know it is especially hard when they live so long and you make that connection so strong. I hope everything gets better soon!
Yes! It will get easier. It definitely did after some time with my hamster brothers. I am sorry for your loss as well, no matter how long ago.
I'm so sorry
Hi! I am in love with skipper! He’s so cute! I just want to say that he don’t need fruit or treats. One treat a day at the minimum. Try crushed rose hips♥️ Much love😘
Thank you! Yes I am aware. They really should only have up to two a week, so be careful! Much love sent your way as well from me :))

Madison Brost I have that cage so it’s okay. It’s a critter nation. They are covered with fleece. 😊

Kiana Brumbaugh you are welcome. Btw your chinchilla looks identical to mine
Actually that one unit is fit for 2 at the most and its only a baby
@@kianabrumbaugh No it is not, chinchillas need a 2 level cage and a lot more toys and ledges then that. The single-level is way too small!!
I asked my mom what she thought a chinchilla was and she said a monkey 😂
I feel like I would have said the same thing tho 😂😂
Haha that is so funny! My mom called it a large rat when she first saw one :/ hahaha!
aw lol
Skipper liked her new home but I felt they are very energetic so when Skipper got uses with her cage she just went out to explore the space her flufiness level is melting 😅
Omg he’s soo cute
Hi where did you buy your pet chinchilla
You really need to get more ledges and a two story cage... also get a proper sized wheel when your chinchilla is old enough
Most of the times chinchillas don’t need wheels
@@heyyitsskassiee1599 only younger ones don’t (6 months old) otherwise they do need one.
This is a very old video, look at some current ones if you are actually really concerned.
Actually chinchillas need wheels, it is very crucial for them, if you have one it is very important you get one ASAP!!
@@kianabrumbaugh sorry abt that, I didn’t look at the date it was made. You are right
Adorable. I have always wanted a chinchilla but it wouldn't be a good idea for me because I have really bad asthma.
I do not think a chinchilla will affect your asthma. They do not require more than wathcing them during a "play time" and sitting at the cage to clean or fill food. :))
Nice use of iMovie I use it to for my videos
So cute!! I have a question... So I want to buy me a chinchilla too! And can I have one chinchilla or must I have two chinchilla´s ? :)
great question! most people recommend to get two chinchillas unless they have some social issues which you would be told about when adopting them. getting two chinchillas from one store is great because they already bonded!
@@kianabrumbaugh Thak you! :)
Wait no fair how yours let you pick him out if you just met him 😩😩😩😩😩it been like 2 months and my chinchilla still don’t like me and I been the nicest to him you know what 😩😩😩
haha awww! well idk if i would say he let me, but you’re doing the right thing and being patient and kind to him. always let him choose :)) it takes different amounts of time for different chinchillas
I just realized all chinchillas are different and males can be harder to bond with than females 🥲
yes! you shouldn’t have different gender chinchillas
@@kianabrumbaugh thanks he let me pet him now😃🥰but he still don’t let me pick him up which is fine:) 🥰🥰🥰
❤️❤️❤️
Very cute good job on everything but the only thing is the cage is a little to small not hate just a tip but cute chinchilla
Hey, why not the 2 story cage???
This video is very old, check out a more current one :))
Chinchillas need two story cages
I would have nothing plastic in there because it’s not good for them to chew on I would get more wood thing instead
Can you plz link the hut
Ava Fauvell Hi Ava! I’m sorry but the hut can not be found online. I was only able to find it in stores at PetsMart. Hope this helps
ahaha❤️
I also have a chinchilla
Hi okay one thing when chinchillas are in pairs like that they need to go home with their companions. It’s like 4lifers!! Chinchillas should be in pairs
They don’t need to be in pairs but it is best, unless they have a social issue. But if you have a single chinchilla just make sure to spend extra time with it or get it a “chinchilla buddy” (a stuffed animal that is safe for chinchillas”
Remove all plastic and add more ledges
There is no plastic actually, and there are five ledges in his current cage, and another I am installing this weekend. :))
@@kianabrumbaugh oh okay 💋

the cage is way too small they need a double unit 126 critter nation cage at least
That is one of the best cages, and actually the one I have, you can see that in the video.
You need at least a 4 ft cage I’m not trying to be mean I just want him to have the best life and he’s so cute
yess of course I understand. This is not a current video, it is over a year old. If you are concerned you can check out current videos!
I have the same hut ❤️ oh and water bottle
Ria The Amazing they are great!! ❤️
Kiana Brumbaugh hows the chinchilla?
you need a double unit cage!!!!!!!!!!
Emma Michelly Bjarnholt Randel this is an old video if you are concerned abt him you can watch my recent videos.
How dare you separate that bonded pair. Pets mart is just awful.
I just feel bad for the baby you left it’s lonely now and in a glass case
See how much shit was in that box by the time you got it home....I’d put a snake in there . He will start moving then....lol
Wtf
It can’t have plastic bc it’s bad for them
Mariah C nothing in his cage is plastic
