Thank you so much!! My chinchilla woke up out of a sleep alarm calling and I thought she was dying!! (I also learned a lot from the other ones) Thank you again!
@@emilysanimalroom2288 hello, we just got our chinchilla today and it is making alarm sounds, i feel bad for her but don’t know what to do :( Could you please help me
@@savalinasav5803 it's natural for her to be scared at first. Make sure she has a few places that she can hide in her cage, and keep her in a quiet room. She will settle soon hopefully 😊
We used to breed chinchillas. When a baby chinchilla is far away from mom, it will call out in a special little squeek. The moms do this for their children, too. I think it helps them locate each other. When I was little, I used to hold the babies, and I'd sit in a chair and let them romp around. Well, one day I got curious. If I could replicate a similar sound, could I call the babies like the mama, and the mama like a baby? The answer is yes. I loved making the sound and seeing mama come to the cage and reply. I also loved watvhing the babies come to like I was calling them. They would cuddle up next to me, sometimes even taking short naps. Now that I rescued a frightened and abused chinchilla named Tara, I decided to try making the sound to her. She now feels comforted and even will come when I call. She lives in my room, so at night I sometimes wake to her calling back for me. I usually make the sounds at her, wait for her to calm down, and then go back to sleep. She's so cute, I just love her so much. Btw, she's my profile pic.
Such a beautiful story. My daughter is interested in a chinchilla but personally I think she’s still too young to be the primary caregiver (I’m a nurse that works long hours). I’m so happy Tara has a new loving home with you, cannot imagine how people can be abusive toward animals it absolutely breaks my heart 😢💔.
@@NurseSnow2U awe! I get that. And yes, it's absolutely heartbreaking to know that people abuse animals. As a quick tip, try to avoid getting pets from the chain stores, like petsmart, petco, etc. They come from mills, sadly 😥 Anyway, have a great day, and thank you for reading Tara's story, I appreciate that you care 😊
im waiting this bc my roommate has a chinchilla and i never know what he is talking abt. at least I know he's making happy noises when I pick him up and play with him.
THANK YOU!!!! The alarm calling I couldn’t find anywhere with the name and sound so I never knew what it was. She does it every now and then and it worried me so much. So ty❣️❣️
Once I woke up at 3am checked the time then head this weird clown like laughter not terribly loud but like a giggle. I panic thinking it killed me family and I freeze eyes wide open and I get the courage to turn my phone flashlight on and he’s just chuckling to himself in his cage! It was so creepy! Kinda like the last one except not aggressive and was higher and quieter he was awake so he wasn’t dreaming I walked over to him and he’s like what? What you want at this lovely hour?
@NG JING QI VERILYN Student it doesn’t happen very often it isn’t super loud besides the alarm calls but again those don’t happen as often the loudest part about chinchillas is they jump and run around at night
I woke up at 4am to some sort of hellish clown cackle and thought i was having some harsh nightmare, took me a minute to realize it was just my chinchilla being demonic..
@@chairwithoutwheels9148 I've had mind for a couple of months and yesterday was the first time he's done that I was so confused! I thought I was dreaming at first I had no idea chinchillas even made that sound lol
@@mcringelpietzz4085 I have two male chins, just heard that female chinchillas can't leave in one cage peacefuly (unless they're sisters) and it's better not to breed them by yourself because of complications. Of course, in large groups they will feel better, but if someone cannot afford it? Okay, agree, then people better shouldn't have pets at all and let every animal live in nature
@@mcringelpietzz4085 I am going to school for wildlife research, and have had chins for years now. From my own personal research I have learned that female chins do best if they are with a sister or alone with an owner who actually cares and plays with them. Most female chins do not go well with male chins unless breading, or with other females unless they are siblings. 😊
If your chin is by herself she may be barking for attention or something might have upset her. Mine barks when he wants a treat in the middle of the night 😑
I just got my first chinchilla a month ago. She's doing quite well. I renamed her Vanessa (Sally before). She did make that grunting sounds in her sleep once before. I thought she might be sick so left her to it to see her in the morning. She's was fine. Now I know it is sleeing sounds. Lol.... Thanks. I had rats previously. Not rabbits anything else. She needed a new home so I took her in. She's quite sweet.
Sometimes my chinchilla will SCREAM! Like a crazy screech of bloody murder! I’ve never been able to find a video of this sound, but he does this in the morning when I’m too slow to give him his scoop of breakfast haha When the king is hungry, I must hurry because humbug to the hay 😏
That high pitched “oh my god I’m dying!!!” sound seems to be designed just for us. Mine do it in the the middle of the night when I’m sleeping and they want snacks. It often sounds like someone is hurt, and I usually go check (even though I know they are luring me out there). If I don’t go out and check them, they will make a noise like someone falling, THEN scream like they have broken all four legs lol. I still go out and make sure everyone is in one piece and nobody is bleeding when I hear it, but it doesn’t seem to be an actual scream of pain- we call it “the drama llama scream” lol. When they are really in pain they hide it super well and never make a noise.
I'm glad to know that my new chilla is making happy noises when she squeaks. She most often does it when she is up close to me while I'm giving her pets or we're touching noses through her cage, but I worried that it might be a stress sound. It sounds a lot like dog whining, so I wasn't entirely sure what it meant. It comes when she seems happy, but prey animals can be weird and give mixed signals for sounds. I'm pleased that it's just her "talking" noise.
Awwwww my little one talks with himself🥺🥺🥺🥺he learned everything from the owner(me) my tiny boy barked at me the first times I tried to touch him! Its one month that I have him and he's so sweet with me, he loves when i handle him with my arms(I try to keep him in his cage because I dont want him to get hurt, he enjoys little caresses but its not totally comfortable with it, other thing, he is a energetic one! He makes a mess every single night😂
Mine only does the barking noise, and that's when she is dreaming. She used to make the fighting noise because she hated my teen that initially had her. Now she is happy with me caring for her.
My chinchilla used to bark at us if we took too long (according to him) to get him his food or sand bath and would make like this crying squeaking noise if he wanted someone to pet him but no one was or when he wanted attention that he wasn't getting (again according to him) lol. He was also not happy if you were not sitting in his playpen playing with him every night lol. He was a special little guy lol. Still miss him even though he was a diva.
OH MY GOD. THIS RAISES SO MANY QUESTIONS WITH ME!! Story: I went to PetSmart one afternoon, looking for me and exwife a cat. We seen Chinchillas there, and I asked if exwife ever seen one. She said no. Same for feeling one, and I had the idea to have a store employee supervise us showing her how awesome they are. No sooner than this chinchilla seen a hand, it was instantly ready to fight, and it kept that up along with full body paralysis... I’m seeing this video now, and I’m so worried about those chinchillas from 2 years ago...
Chinchilla are such beautiful animals! I would love one or two, however I have 5 guineas, and they're alot of work, so maybe in the future. Great video!
My chinchillas alarm call while sleeping. They are just sleeping then one of them alarms calls and I look over and they are still asleep, snuggled up with eachother in their bed. They are funny little creatures. They also are all nice with eachother in the cage, get out take turns chasing eachother, have a little fight, with fight noises, then make up have a dust bath and have a nap behind the chair. They bark at me when I stop them being naughty and getting into a tiny gap so they can get behind the TV so they can chew a wire, they will actually try and push me away 😂 if you own a chinchilla you need to chinchilla proof your house. No leather sofa, cover your skirting boards(base boards) no wood furniture, all wires hidden. Ive learned the hard way. They can find new ways to get in the places they shouldn't, never underestimate them, some of them are very smart.
My chinchillas used to make the alarm call every time it would rain. Sometimes they would make that noise an hour or so before the rain began to pour. They hated the rain.
what is a repeated short but loud squeaking sound? she does it often when i play with her and my dog is around, but she doesn’t act like she’s threatened and it doesn’t sound like a bark.
My chinchilla alarm calls very often. shes new but she should be used to the new sounds by now. i talk to her but im still a bit worried bc she does this really often
hey im not sure if youll see this but my chinchilla is making fighting noises at nothing? i was on my bed and she was in her cage and i heard her making those fighting sounds, so when i went to check what was happening she was just sitting in the corner.. im really confused
In sweden it’s required to have 2 chinchillas at least they can’t be Alone, if they are alone they needs to have babies or they are separated because they are chasing each other
You are mistaken :) the alarm call is pretty well known, though a females mating call may sound similar. My clips were all from my two boys, so definitely no mating going on.
I've had my chinchilla for a few weeks now and she's very chill with her life although she does this chitter like thing, a sound similar to the chitter rats make when they are happy, and I'm still not very sure what it means, but she isn't being agressive or jumpy when she makes the sound
I have had my chinchilla for about a month And the three got along well and cuddled, but since yesterday one runs after the other and they are fighting and I don't know why, please help me what should I do.
Ok, so my daughter has had a chinny for a couple weeks now and I was in the bathroom and heard the weirdest noise. I decided it had to be Vinny but was still a bit worried. Thanks to your vid I’m more than 100% certain it was Vin, but now I’m a tad concerned as to why he was alarm calling. I’m hoping it was just a dream, as nothing seems out of the ordinary. Again though, thank you for this direct/to the point video.
What if it sounds like an alarm call but its not repetitive? One of my chins will jump down and make this noise and I'm not sure if a noise scares her or if she is in some kind of pain. She seems fine when she is just sitting/ playing but occasionally when she jumps she makes this squealing sound and it scares me!
I was listening to these while my chinchilla was sleeping, the alarm call woke him up and he went to the highest point in his cage, looking alert. After I told him it was fine he went back where he was and went back to sleep.
My chinchilla keeps making a sound that sounds like a sneeze but he isn’t sneezing (he’s alone for medical reasons) Is there any chance you’re aware of what this is?
The ones I have met I have met wanted to sleep, but they are nocturnal. One too busy chewing at the bars of his enclosure to worry about anything else. He wanted out. Judging by the size of his cage I don’t blame.him
My chiny makes the alarm calling sound every morning! It wakes me up everyyyy morning but idk why :( when he makes it, he’s in his little hut and nobody else is in the room
My little boy Wally, barked at me I didn't understand what he was doing .I pet him on his tail.guessing he's not ready .my co worker gave him to me for my dec 11 birthday this year figuring him out as we go.he will be going to the exotic vet in January after all the holidays are over he has his own stocking on the wall ,with treats and toys.my boy is spoiled already.
Honestly, my chinchilla just made an alarm bark for whatever reason and o couldn’t figure out why. So I look at him and he has a stain near his mouth. And I freak, like he’s drooling or spitting out his food and needs a vet. Turns out the dog walking by scared him and the stain is from him peeing then bending over to eat his own poop. Not exactly sure how to get pee stain off a chins mouth lol
My chinchilla made the alert noise while I was trying TO SLEEEP idk what could've startled him also he makes the fighting noise when I try to pet him 🥲 yep still got a long way to go (it's only been a few days)
Whoever saw the Go Diego Go episode where Diego saved a chinchilla, If you seen that episode, It sounds nothing like this lol that show needs to be more educational the chinchilla in that episode made a Whuah Whuah sound more than this,
I have a question not relating to sound but I was wondering how much to expect spending on a chinchilla every month? I plan on getting one (probably not for another year) and I haven't seen anyone make a video answering this question.
That depends on lots of factors, including which country you live in. General expenses like hay and food are not very expensive. I spend about £15 a month on that probably. But the biggest costs for chinchillas are: 1. Air conditioning. An absolute must for chinchillas if your home ever goes above 21°C (i explain a bit about this in my Basic Guide to Chinchillas video). Buying a unit and running it can be expensive. 2. Potential vets bills. They need to see exotic specialist vets, so having substantial savings set aside just in case is vital. I hope this helps!
@@emilysanimalroom2288 That helps a lot thank you! The AC isn't a problem I was just wondering about expenses for things regarding food, things for the cage and such. I just wanna make sure I wouldn't be overwhelmed with the upkeep cost if that makes any sense.
@@emilysanimalroom2288 Yeah I knew the initial setup is something I have to save for but I just like to know everything to expect. Would it be okay to have one chinchilla for a few months and then get a second? Thank you for being so responsive!
@@jimthecactus7425 you can, though that would be much harder as bonding them can be quite tricky and would mean you need 2 setups. If you want 2 I suggest getting them together straight away

For some reason, my chinchilla keeps barking at a green plastic clothes hanger on the floor. No idea why he hates it so much. Maybe it insulted him 🤣
Maybe your cat left their scent there, it's typical for chinchillas to warn humans (= big chinchillas) a predator is nearby.

Thanks for your video. Makes me miss my chinchillas and degus very much.
If your chinchilla barks, don't do this to them again. They don't like it.
This was so interesting!
The sounds of alarm call it’s actually their mating call
You are mistaken :) the alarm call is pretty well known, though a females mating call may sound similar.
My clips were all from my two boys, so definitely no mating going on.
I've had my chinchilla for a few weeks now and she's very chill with her life
although she does this chitter like thing, a sound similar to the chitter rats make when they are happy, and I'm still not very sure what it means, but she isn't being agressive or jumpy when she makes the sound

My chinchilla make A L A R M when was 3pm. I just pat her and she's just stop and goes to sleep

What if it sounds like an alarm call but its not repetitive? One of my chins will jump down and make this noise and I'm not sure if a noise scares her or if she is in some kind of pain. She seems fine when she is just sitting/ playing but occasionally when she jumps she makes this squealing sound and it scares me!
Love chinchilla ❤
They remind me of a jumping mice from coralline
My chinchila is making 0 noice. Did the pet store owner break the sound thingy?

The ones I have met I have met wanted to sleep, but they are nocturnal. One too busy chewing at the bars of his enclosure to worry about anything else. He wanted out. Judging by the size of his cage I don’t blame.him
Do they make sounds when they are content?
They're pretty quiet animals, aside from the chatting noise (small squeaks) they ususlly sit in silence if they're just happy & content
when the chinchilla was barking it was saying no
My chinchillas make high pitches screeches, what do those mean? They don’t sound like any of these.
My chinchilla has never talked to herself until she heard it first hand😳
my chilla does the alarm sound when he has a nightmare
i heard him alarm calling and I was like what- 😭😭
One of mine started alarm calling and I didn't know if she was choking or something. Glad she's ok. 😅

The bark ❤️
My chiny makes the alarm calling sound every morning! It wakes me up everyyyy morning but idk why :( when he makes it, he’s in his little hut and nobody else is in the room
OMG thanks At night my chin no makes startled noise and it really scares me sometimes
I lived with two chinchillas once, they used to make the “WAH! WAH! Wah! Wahh! Wahhh!” noise at night.
My little boy Wally, barked at me I didn't understand what he was doing .I pet him on his tail.guessing he's not ready .my co worker gave him to me for my dec 11 birthday this year figuring him out as we go.he will be going to the exotic vet in January after all the holidays are over he has his own stocking on the wall ,with treats and toys.my boy is spoiled already.
Aww how sweet ❤ if you haven't already, checkout my "Basic Guide to Chinchillas" video. Lots of info for new owners 😊
Why do they bark when u touch there back dose it hurt them in the same spot u touched urs and it barked and is that normal
No, it doesn't hurt. Mine just don't like to be touched. They were telling me off!
Honestly, my chinchilla just made an alarm bark for whatever reason and o couldn’t figure out why. So I look at him and he has a stain near his mouth. And I freak, like he’s drooling or spitting out his food and needs a vet. Turns out the dog walking by scared him and the stain is from him peeing then bending over to eat his own poop. Not exactly sure how to get pee stain off a chins mouth lol
Mind you a lot of alarm calling when the cats investigate the side of the cage too much
My chinchillas had made barking noises like all of those. Sometimes they sound funny =)
My chinchilla wakes up screaming a lot :/
Im in love with mine snd im concern about my pets health and everything so this helps me alot ngl
my controller makes this weird noise when it's angry
It's very interesting that my two chins make none of these noises ever except very rarely the alarm at like 2 am
Mine too ,he has only made the alarm sound once when he squeezed behind the bed and needed me to rescue him.
My chinchilla made the alert noise while I was trying TO SLEEEP idk what could've startled him also he makes the fighting noise when I try to pet him 🥲 yep still got a long way to go (it's only been a few days)
At night sometimes I hear my chinchilla making the fighting noise but I don’t have another chinchilla?
Perhaps they are dreaming, like mine do sometimes
im so glad i found this because my chinchilla was alarm calling and i looked it up and it said it could be harmful im glad i dint trust google haha
Whoever saw the Go Diego Go episode where Diego saved a chinchilla, If you seen that episode, It sounds nothing like this lol that show needs to be more educational the chinchilla in that episode made a Whuah Whuah sound more than this,
OH MY GOODNESS IV ONLY HAD A CHINCHILLA FOR 3 months and HES NEVER MADE THE ALARM NOISE I WOULD BE SO CONCERNED ONG
My chinchilla was alarm calling and I was so scared
I have a question not relating to sound but I was wondering how much to expect spending on a chinchilla every month? I plan on getting one (probably not for another year) and I haven't seen anyone make a video answering this question.
That depends on lots of factors, including which country you live in.
General expenses like hay and food are not very expensive. I spend about £15 a month on that probably. But the biggest costs for chinchillas are:
1. Air conditioning. An absolute must for chinchillas if your home ever goes above 21°C (i explain a bit about this in my Basic Guide to Chinchillas video). Buying a unit and running it can be expensive.
2. Potential vets bills. They need to see exotic specialist vets, so having substantial savings set aside just in case is vital.
I hope this helps!
@@emilysanimalroom2288 That helps a lot thank you! The AC isn't a problem I was just wondering about expenses for things regarding food, things for the cage and such. I just wanna make sure I wouldn't be overwhelmed with the upkeep cost if that makes any sense.
@@jimthecactus7425 the initial setup can be pricey (cage, accessories, etc), but from then I don't find food & hay expensive for me at all :)
@@emilysanimalroom2288 Yeah I knew the initial setup is something I have to save for but I just like to know everything to expect. Would it be okay to have one chinchilla for a few months and then get a second? Thank you for being so responsive!
@@jimthecactus7425 you can, though that would be much harder as bonding them can be quite tricky and would mean you need 2 setups. If you want 2 I suggest getting them together straight away
jo kannst du mal bitte mitteilen wo du dein gegehege gekauft hast:)
Sie spricht warscheinlich kein deutsch, also wäre es besser wenn du es in englisch fragst
Mein Käfig ist aus Little Pet Warehouse, es ist der Aventura. Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut, aber ich versuche es.
yes
Dude what does it mean if it barks when im not touching it, looking at it, or near it
Barking is usually an annoyed, "stop that" kind of sound. It's quite common for chinchillas to not like being touched.
@@emilysanimalroom2288 but I wasnt touching him nor had i tried to touch him in a while
@@rominutemaid1532 he could be warning you not to, or perhaps he hears a sound that spooks him and makes him want to warn whatever it is off :)
1:04 he really said 🤬
Mine does it only when I pet her.
