Thank you it really helped. my chinchilla luna never wanted me around her beacuse she already had an owner for 3 years and she went to college and gave her to me but now shes getting comfortable with me and going on my hand and letting me pet her beacuse if these tips Thank you!
I picked up two chinchillas about 4 days ago, I’ve been sitting by their cage, reading to them. I’ve been giving them treats. They’ve both let me pet them, mostly the oldest one let me. The younger one is the most wild one who isn’t as tame, he’s skittish and jumpy. I let them out yesterday for play time and let them look everywhere for about 3 hours.
My chinchillas had such a bad home before I saved him but they are still so shy and I've had them for a whole year. They do jump on my shoulders and when they are tired they let me stroke their head and nose but usually they are shy of my hands and when I try and place my hand in the cage (not touching them or too far in so they can walk to me) they jump around and hide in their hammock
Tisha It will take time for them to trust another human again. Just have patience and remember to not try and touch or grab them if they are not comfortable with it. I’m sure in time they’ll be good with you again😉
I had a chinnie and we were so close. I would take him everywhere. I one time took him to the mall and we hung out in the food court. We even went on vacation together. It sounds weird like, “why would you do that” but it wasn’t that weird. But my chinnie loved me and I could tell he did.
just rescued mine from a really horrible abusive household so he is severely anxious but he touched me for the first time yesterday on his own which is so very exciting and rly big progress (:
Okay I’m getting mine in 2 days and I’m kind of nervous I’ve been researching about them for months and watching all your videos I have a cage like yours but it’s just a different brand and I’ve got oxbow hay and pellets and everything else I need any tips? Just want to make sure she’s happy and has the right stuff 😊
I just got my chinchilla yesterday, and he seems pretty calm, but he doesn’t seem to really react to being pet or scratched. He was handled a lot in his previous household, but if he makes noises when I try to pick him up or when someone trys to pick him up I make sure that he is immediately put back and left alone. How do I get it to eventually start coming up to my hand and letting me know when they want to be interacted with?
My chinchilla was given to me by a friend who’s boyfriend had him for 4 years and he was kept in a bunny cage and he never wanted to be around me but now that I own oatis we spend time with each other all the time he doesn’t really like to be held or anything but he’ll come up to me and he love to run in my room and he’ll ask for pets and treats and it’s cute he’s a very dependent lil guy he loves feet rubs too when eating
Cristina Vids It’s pretty easy to tell. If they aren’t always so down and mopey, it’s a good sign. If they are eating and drinking well, chewing their toys, having lots of fun at playtime, those are all good indications😊
I am so happy because I am getting a chinchilla today!!! If I didn’t watch ur channel I think I wouldn’t have the right information about chinchillas!!! Thank you ur channel is so helpful!!!😊😁👍
Question, if I leave the window open, can the chinchillas get the same illness from outdoors, or is it ok if I want it it be colder since it is colder outside right now
I love your videos it's helping me get ready for the time when I purchase my chinchilla I'm working on getting a Room dedicated to just my chinchilla the cage and all He or she is gonna live like royaltyPlus I feel more comfortable having a dedicated Room because I feel more in control with knowing everything is safe when I have play time just like you've taught me
Hi I’m getting chinchillas that we’re saved from a bad place and this video really helped! What do you think of freeze dried strawberries as treats?? Thanks!
Julia Del Percio you normally should give them treats 1-2 times a week or they may get ill and unhealthy so don’t feed your chinchillas a lot of them 👌🏻
Please don't give fruits to chinchillas. They're not good for them. Oats, rose petals, or rose hips are great treats that they'll love and not hurt them 😊
I picked my chinchilla chico up too much and he only hides from me, i really was sad and thid video helped me gain his trust again, tysm for making me happy, sorry if this is long
Sam Smith Some chins prefer not to be handled as far as being held and it’s just something you should respect. But I’m sure if you build up their trust they’ll let you scratch or pet their ears or chin😊
The Chinchilla Notebook thx so much but when it was being handled in the pet store it was calm but now I if I pet it will run and I payed 400 bucks for it is that to much even though I got a darker champagne one thx again
Sam Smith, Sadly, Its not a good idea to shop for chins. He may have been too scared to fight in the pet store, and they're usually treated terribly in pet stores. Their past really affects them, But her vid shows a lot of points that should help. :)
I recently fell into depression and I’m slowly coming out of it. I started to ignore my chinchilla and I’m not proud of it. Now I’m trying to bring our bond back and make it better.
My chin and i become better friends at playtime! I just got him yesterday, and he was spooked whenever i made a sound or moved. I opened the door to his cage and let him run out. After a little while, he was jumping on me and let me scratch him. I don’t know if i just got a social chin but playtime seems to also be a good bonding trick!
I will try this with my chinchilla Lotte, i want to her to be an actual pet than just stuck in a cage. What is your cages name or brand? I just want my chin to have a new cage. 💕❤️
My family keeps pestering my chinchilla and I keep telling them to leave him alone but they won’t :( Even my mom and my dads won’t. They even try to involve my dog and I think it’s stressing him out. I’m trying to create a bind with him, but I can’t when no one will leave him alone. I’ve only hand him for two days and people are already trying to pick him up and touch him. I tell them to leave him alone, though no one listens to me. What do I do?
I have 2 chinchillas daisy and rosy and my family isn’t the richest so sometimes we don’t have food all the time so what do you recommend doing when I not have proper material to take care of them ? Also our cage is about 7 feet tall and 6 feet wide it is humongous so there cage is good but there living isn’t my mom wants to sell them because we never have the money for them what should I do:(
My chinchillas LOVE food and pretty much anyone can feed them I can my mom and dad can my sister can friends can. the only problem I have is I baby sit two kids that constantly want to hold them and they don't like being held. They like to come out of the cage but then they don't want to be held to get out of it they can't jump out of it cause there cage is on a table so my dog can't get them.
Merlin is so adorable when he gets chin scratches OwO I can do it to one of my boys sometimes, but only for a few sec before he pushes my hand away :P Very helpful video!
When will my chinchilla respond to scratches and tilt his head? Cause he loves brief cuddles with us when he wakes up, but he doesn't respond to scratches the same way lol
I just got two chinchillas... they are very shy and run away when ever I try stroke them... I need some tips and help, was merlin very shy and didn't want to come to you when you first got him. please help me :(
How long after getting my baby chinchilla should I wait to give him a dust bath? We are bonding (thanks to this guide!) but I still can’t pick him up without a freak-out yet…
He’s so cute I can’t! 😭❤️ I’ve been wanting one for many years. However my husband and I have 2 kids a 2 1/2 year old and a 7 month old. Anyone know if they are good with kids and if it would be a good family pet?
Brittany Banton They aren’t really good with kids, as they are fast and most dislike being held. They are also very fragile and it’s not a good idea to let them out with children where they might accidentally step on them or scare them😌
My dad and my mom broke up and my dad got me a chinchilla I see my parents every other week (I know its confusing) my step brother takes care of him when I'm gone to see my mom is that bad? Because you said only one can take care of the chinchilla
i already have one chinchilla, her name is suki and i just got a new chinchilla (vixen) shes only 5 months but when i got her i seen how her previous owner handled her for a brief second and it was very rough so im assuming she was abused and shes very afraid so im hoping for the best
I have a deck and I want to get this play pen where there’s a zipper and it’s very big can I possibly put the playpen out in the winter on my deck and let the chinchilla play he won’t be exactly outside he’ll be inside the playpen but I want him to see the nature outside for a bit ♥️
No, I would strongly advise against that. Not only could anything go wrong and you might lose him, but it's unsafe for him. Domestic chinchillas aren't immune to the dangers outside and can be harmed by the elements, especially since the temperature is much colder than it should be for them. :)
Thanks. New Chinchilla owner here. Mine got out yesterday and would not let me catch her. I was afraid she would chew something she shouldn't. Eventually, I just grabbed her at base of tail and she freaked out of course. She was scared of me for half the day after. I feel so bad.
@@incanusolorin2607 I did what the breeder told me to do. Base of tail, doesn’t hurt them and much better than grabbing their bodies. Sometimes you have to make decisions for your pets or children that they don’t understand or like and it sucks but you do it anyway for their own safety. If you can’t do that, then probably best not to have children or pets under your care.
I want a chinchilla but i live in a apartment ITS not to small but i have two sisters and a dog and a cat. How Can i make my mums say yes to getting a chinchilla.😔
Danica Ferrell I have a whole video on Chinchilla bedding. It depends on what type of wood it is, but you can’t use it unless you are sure you know it’s safe for chinchillas😊💕
I only have one chinchilla is that ok? I make sure to play with him every single day and he is new so I just feel guilty because most owners have 2 and I only have one and I don’t think I’m allowed to get another
Im working on buying them a new cage since my dad got the wrong kind (it was a surprise so I wasnt really prepared prepared) how should I keep them happy in the mean time?
I’ve had my chinchillas since October and at there first home they were abused and neglected, at first, they didn’t let me touch nor be near them, now one of them does but the other one gets scared and runs off or tries to shake me hand away so I then end up leaving it alone, I can’t pick either up as I get too scared of them biting but I will use your video and see if this helps me, all thanks- luciana
@@TheChinchillaNotebook thanks it's in my shopping basket. I've got 2 nvqs in animal care based on chinchillas and I've had chinchillas most of my life. I still watch ur vids. Sadly my mum passed away 6weeks ago and her daughter was so stressed I'm now trying to bond her with my new 14 week old chin. I'm using the side by side method at the moment. I'll be keeping an eye out for ur bonding with Merlin?! If u do 1 x
My chinchilla belonged to a friend who really loved him I have only had him for a few months when I walk toward him he makes a noise and chews on the air but I watch shows with him on Saturday and he likes that I am 12 years old is that good
hello my chinchilla stands at his cage staring at me but when i try to play with him he runs around his cage, why doesn’t he come to me if he want to play
hey, I know its like really late and it's 2020 but how can i get my parents to let my chinhcillas home? They don't want poop all over the house because my chinchillas poop a lot and...if you could help me it could be a great help! Thanks
I go to my dads for 2 weeks and then moms but my chinchilla is at my dads but he is going to make sure she is ok but then when I am here she gets all my attention
I have a question if my chinchilla likes me or not because my chinchilla bites me hard a lot but she lets me hold her but she always hides from me I am not sure it’s very mixed but it’s probably because I got her yesterday
Helen T Yes, don’t give her water from a bowl. It’s not safe and it’s unnatural for chinnies. Take away the bowl and install a good water bottle in her cage. Then bring her to it and tap the ball with your finger to show her how the water comes out. Soon she’ll be thirsty enough to try it out and then hopefully she’ll be drinking regularly from it😊
The Chinchilla Notebook 😢😓😔 it is so sad to be responsible for the death of a fluffy creature like chinchi. I hope you take good care of this one. I have seen lots of chinchillas who are being ignored. It breaks my heart when we just buy them like we buy toys and inanimate objects.
Mojtaba Fallah Well he didn’t die because of how he was cared for. It’s a long story, but basically some dogs got to him and killed him. That’s part of the reason I’m so against introducing cats and dogs to chinnies. 😊
I only let my 2 chinchillas out everyonce in a while ik that can be a problem but because of dogs and cats, and that they are escape artist and have got out there goes the dog I had to grab him put him into a room and grab both of them
Thank you it really helped. my chinchilla luna never wanted me around her beacuse she already had an owner for 3 years and she went to college and gave her to me but now shes getting comfortable with me and going on my hand and letting me pet her beacuse if these tips

Hehe he has learnt how to escape now too 😂
@Samuel Colson dose... it... hert...
my chinchilla does that to 😂

I’ve had my chinchillas since October and at there first home they were abused and neglected, at first, they didn’t let me touch nor be near them, now one of them does but the other one gets scared and runs off or tries to shake me hand away so I then end up leaving it alone, I can’t pick either up as I get too scared of them biting but I will use your video and see if this helps me, all thanks- luciana
Love that intro 🌈
Victoria Velasquez Thank you! I love it too😊💕
How much does ur cage cost alone?
What did you do with your first chinchilla🤔..?
Miriam Chavez He died from a dog attack. It's kinda a long story😔
The Chinchilla Notebook omg how awful :(
The Chinchilla Notebook sorry 😐
What cage is Merlin in please?
I love all your videos and I'm hoping to see a new video of your new chin and bonding with Merlin? X
Nicole Godwin It’s the Critter Nation model 162💕
@@TheChinchillaNotebook thanks it's in my shopping basket.
I've got 2 nvqs in animal care based on chinchillas and I've had chinchillas most of my life. I still watch ur vids. Sadly my mum passed away 6weeks ago and her daughter was so stressed I'm now trying to bond her with my new 14 week old chin. I'm using the side by side method at the moment. I'll be keeping an eye out for ur bonding with Merlin?! If u do 1 x
I know this is an old video. But if you are still able to receive this comment. can you please tell me where you got the cage?
its called a critter nation, amazone is a good place!
My chinchilla belonged to a friend who really loved him I have only had him for a few months when I walk toward him he makes a noise and chews on the air but I watch shows with him on Saturday and he likes that I am 12 years old is that good
hello my chinchilla stands at his cage staring at me but when i try to play with him he runs around his cage, why doesn’t he come to me if he want to play
So cute my daughter is dying for one!!!
whats your cage called?
Are critter/ferret nations easy to clean to poop out of them? Rn i have a very large bird cage with lots of wooded ledges
VanillaChinchilla Yes, very easy☺️
Where did you get your ledges from
hey, I know its like really late and it's 2020 but how can i get my parents to let my chinhcillas home? They don't want poop all over the house because my chinchillas poop a lot and...if you could help me it could be a great help! Thanks
My chinchilla, Ella, is super sassy during the day but is a total love bug at night
Skye Aishi Sounds familiar!💕
My chinchilla likes me to hold his hands and dancing
I go to my dads for 2 weeks and then moms but my chinchilla is at my dads but he is going to make sure she is ok but then when I am here she gets all my attention
Yes my sister trys to take over mine!
I just hade to give her treats😂
When you furst get your chin Chilla should you play with it? even though you should keep it in its cage because you just got it
Blake Stanford It’s best to leave them alone to adjust for a week or so.😊
The Chinchilla Notebook ok good to know I just wanted to know that even though I am not getting a chin Chilla and i don’t have one
I have a question if my chinchilla likes me or not because my chinchilla bites me hard a lot but she lets me hold her but she always hides from me I am not sure it’s very mixed but it’s probably because I got her yesterday
Dogs Rule Yeah I’d definitely let her adjust without touching or interacting with her much 😉
I’m getting a chinchilla that was kept it in a dog crate and had no wheel this probably could help me to bond with him
What should you do if your chinchilla won’t let you pick them up for playtime or to get them back in there cage?
ThatOneKawaiiPotato :3 Try luring them into their dust bath and quickly transport them into the cage😊
K thanks
how do you tell when they dont want to be out of there cage and when they do
Lara Waldron They come up to the cage bars and scratch at the bedding or bite the bars to be let out. Idk how to explain it you’ll just know 😆
@@TheChinchillaNotebook thank you helped me a lot before I got my chinchilla
I need help,my chinchilla's not drinking water from the water bottle she only drinking from a bowl .Is that bad for her?,what can I do
Helen T Yes, don’t give her water from a bowl. It’s not safe and it’s unnatural for chinnies. Take away the bowl and install a good water bottle in her cage. Then bring her to it and tap the ball with your finger to show her how the water comes out. Soon she’ll be thirsty enough to try it out and then hopefully she’ll be drinking regularly from it😊
The Chinchilla Notebook thank you very much ❤️
Aww I am so sad that your first chinchilla was depressed. What happened to him/her?
Mojtaba Fallah Well, I just didn’t know how to care for him and didn’t do it properly. He died 3 years ago, unfortunately😒
The Chinchilla Notebook 😢😓😔 it is so sad to be responsible for the death of a fluffy creature like chinchi. I hope you take good care of this one.
I have seen lots of chinchillas who are being ignored. It breaks my heart when we just buy them like we buy toys and inanimate objects.
Mojtaba Fallah Well he didn’t die because of how he was cared for. It’s a long story, but basically some dogs got to him and killed him. That’s part of the reason I’m so against introducing cats and dogs to chinnies. 😊
I only let my 2 chinchillas out everyonce in a while ik that can be a problem but because of dogs and cats, and that they are escape artist and have got out there goes the dog I had to grab him put him into a room and grab both of them
