      @gypsywolfspy1787 6 лет назад +1

      Ewan Oxborrow try holding it by the base of the tail it's better then how she was. the chinchilla was biting her for that reason

    • @addybarr4169
      @addybarr4169 6 лет назад +22

      You should never hold them by the base of the tail because if you are too ruff they will drop their tails and they need their tails to balance. You should just support them under their feet.

    • @jdgreen2307
      @jdgreen2307 5 лет назад +5

      I think the chinchilla was getting too hot in her hands/against her and getting restless. Handling is all well and good, but I would never hold my chinchilla for that long.

      If its still a problem, when we traveled about 4 days and 3 nights, we kept out cats from the same litter in a cage (Like a dog cage) In one car, and our dog (Small beagle) in the other, ans kept them in the back seat. If you have a carsick animal, like my dog uses to be, search how to make traveling more comfortable and easy. My hack is to use half of a children's dramamine, this should work with both dogs and cats. Any other minor pets, like fish, if you are moving far away, try to give them away like we did. Chickens and small to medium outdoor animals can be sold, because transport shouldn't be tried without the proper space, like a separate trailer with a cage for them. You can always imporvise on the way there, like we did, by taking the cats out to roam the rest stop so they wont be as stressed cramped in the car for hours, and then the dog afterword. Make sure they are all happy and not stressed.

      @jdgreen2307 5 лет назад

      @@chrissy3735 Sorry to hear about this. This is often the result of switching pellets too quickly and not mixing ratios over the course of a couple of weeks or so. It's very important to know what pellets the chin is on when you purchase.

The info you provided was extremely helpful. i was able to hold one a bit today intermittently. They are friendly when i give them treats but holding them has never been a thing for us. I am thankful for your video 😊

    As far as living conditions go, I just got a condo cage for my chinchilla. I placed her at the bottom level and put all her familiar toys in there especially her wheel. Her wheel I placed at the second level of her cage while her shoulder and dust bath are at the bottom with her bedding. Her food and water is at the third level and her play area are where who chew toys are at. I'm glad she's getting used to her new living space after being in an on top of a dresser type cage for so long.

    My chinchilla got bullied when she had other chinchillas around. All the websites we go to say to only have one chinchilla if they have gotten bullied before. Is it ok I only have her as my chinchilla?? She will probably get scared if I get a second one

    • @levonf.8093
      @levonf.8093 7 лет назад +10

      Your Chinchilla can learn to socialize better with other Chinchillas and it actually is recommended, because Chinchillas are generally social creatures, but when you get a second chinchilla make sure it's the same gender so it doesn't mate.

    • @Nina-cp5cm
      @Nina-cp5cm 7 лет назад +13

      If she really can't be with any other chinchilla you could have her alone BUT chinchilla's already need a lot of attention/playtime when they have a friend so you need to make sure she can play with you minimal 1 hour a day, because and you probably already know this she will get lonely and can die of it.

      Also the breeder of my chinchilla's said something about getting chinchilla's together. I think this is only for males but i'm gonna tell you anyways. She calles them "green males" that means that they haven't had any kids. They apparently are easier to put together.

    This was an awesome video. I am really seriously considering getting a chinchilla, but I just have to convince my parents. I feel I will be able to give it the best life possible I just need my parents to approve. Do chinchillas smell at all? I know some rodents can stink very bad, even if you do clean regularly. Oh and can you order hay and pellets online? The closest place (I believe) is about 40 minutes away which wouldn't be a problem except I can't drive yet. I would want to make sure I can always have food available for him/her. Thanks so much for all your informative videos, they are so helpful! I love your channel.

      Kathy's Chinchillas No you can give them dried apples but a very small amount (like a tiny treat) dont give it to them everyday but yes they can. They can have a very small piece of grape too (use California grown its much safer) even tried rose works aswell. They can have a few veggies, I have a chinchilla hand book and have a chinchilla I found it at pet smart its very educational about them I think you should check it out plus check your facts before you claim. Thank you for reading:)

    So I have a question, what about for dust baths, the dust bath container I'm getting is plastic, I'm not keeping it in the cage 24/7 I would give my chinchillas time with it everyday to roll around and such and then take them out, is that okay?

    Two things I don't understand about Chinchilla care. While I keep them dry and always keep them in a cool, well ventilated basement, I don't understand how their native ancestors might have survived in the Andean Foothills where it gets hot and occasionally rains or where they experience wet snows during winters.

    I have a ball for my 2 chinchillas, and the one boy does like it so we don’t force him in. But my other one gets really excited when ever she sees the ball and jump in by herself. And we also get the 11 inch ball which they cannot get there feet caught in .

    Are exercise balls also bad for chinchillas because of how it arches their back? I know that guinea pigs cant use them or wheels because arching their backs like that could cause serious damage

    Hey, I don’t know if you will see this comment, but I was curious about chinchilla and their water bottles. Is it OK if a chinchilla accidentally rubs its body against the water bottle and gets a little couple drops of water? I know that they’re not supposed to get wet.
