I was terrified the first time I heard one of ours screaming in the middle of the day, I thought she’d hurt herself!! I’ve since learnt it’s a demand for attention 😂
exactly!!
Oh same here, I've learnt about all the sound besides that "attention scream". Both me and my husband thinks it sounds like a dog squeek toy. I thougt it was a sleep sound as well. The most frustrating about not knowing what it is (until now ofc) is that we both have been anxious that it's a hurting sound, like he's wounded or something. Thanks for this perfect informative video. Love your fluffy bois ♡
I always thought that it's a bird that makes these sounds but then I realized that it's from my chinchillas
@@chinpals Do they not like getting petted?
Guess it's effective.
I love how chinchillas will just hold literally anything you give them
they are all so chatty! such good boys! my chinchilla is a female and mostly uses her body language to get her point across, i rarely ever hear her talk like this! she also kind of cuddly (more so than other chinchillas ive seen), and im happy to hear that chirping does indeed express happiness, since she does occasionally announce herself when being pet 🥰
Oh yeah, body language is so communicative too! that's awesome that she's so affectionate, henry is too :)
U neverrrrrr lie my chi chi does that ALLOT OUTTTIEOUUU
My baby passed away quite suddenly at nearly 8 years old. I still miss her to this day, she was my first and so far only Chinnie, so I did a lot of research and learned as I went when she did something new and unexpected.
She did chirp very often, so knowing it was a happy and cheerful noise makes me feel that I must’ve done something good for her. I can only hope and pray I made her even as close to as happy she made me.
RIP Zelda, love you sweetheart 💜
The character may have died but the story lives on
I'm very sorry for your loss 😢 I hope time heals your heart and that you can remember her for the best memories you have together ❤
I’m sorry for your loss😢 hope and pray 🙏 R.I.P ZENDAYA🙏🙏🙏
My baby's name is also Zelda 😭😭 I'm so sorry for your loss RIP Zelda.
Awww, you gave her a beautiful life! I believe our little companions stay near us even after crossing the Rainbow Bridge. My first chin was named Zelda, too, and I see it’s the same for another person in the replies! Wonder what the Venn diagram of chin owner interests looks like
I personally named my Zelda more with the game in mind, but we joked it was for Zelda Fitzgerald since I majored in English. My other chin was Zora, also connected with Legend of Zelda but Zora Neal Hurston, too
It's like a cat, hamster, and rabbit all in one ❤
more like a crazy rabster! 😅
@@GeoAce777 lol I like that
I was thinking it's a 'squirbunnouse' --- 1/3 squirrel, 1/3 bunny, 1/3 mouse, 3/3 adorable
They're called the squirrels of the Andes.
@@stephenkroll9555 Cats wreak havoc at 3AM, the same as Chins.
My boy is so quiet. I’ll occasionally hear him have the happy chirps when free roaming but that’s all I’ve heard!
That’s great! He must be very comfortable in his environment 😊 (although other sounds are totally normal and will probably happen at some point!)
Same here! I've only heard chirps and some alarm calls.
Same here also.
well she does have 4 of them, in the wild they are in large groups. Henry hasn't said a word so far and i'm nearly 5 minutes in lol
Relieved to hear more chinchillas bark when dreaming. Both of my chins do it and it always made me jump and go check on them as I thought it was an alarm call of sorts, but I could never figure out what startled them so, they seemed happy and fine when it happened. Over time I began to think it had something to do with them sleeping but I was never 100% sure.
what if they're having dreams about being dogs? and that's why they're barking 🐕😂
@@pigeondance we'll probably never know! Hahah
Right ? I've had mine for like 5 ish years and I still react that way 🤣
I think the dreaming implies bad dreams. Something in the dream startles them into calling the alarm. My chillchilla always looks so out of it when she does the barking/alarm call
I didn’t even know chinchillas made noises. They sound a little bit like guinea pigs. This was very interesting and cute
chillchillas will gradually make more noises the more time you spend with them. When they learn that this is a form of communication, they use it more and more. They are very social and adapt to those that are part of their chillchilla clan
They actually talk a lot.
I said the same I have Guinea pigs they also chatter their teeth when angry or annoyed
I like how for rabbits, teeth chattering means calm/purring usually. But for chinchilla’s it means they be ANGRY.
Linus’ grunting sounds like muffled baby laughs. They are all so cute!
Fuk that, imagine hearing it make that sound at 3am
Even when they are angry or annoyed, they are so cute. I kinda wish I knew someone with Chinchillas that I could play with. It’s cruel really, that such adorable animals don’t like to be cuddled.
It depends on the animal... each one is very different from others. One is quiet, other is loud, and so on. My chinchila is a very cute boy who loves to be pet and loves to play with his wood toys alone, depending on the day 😊
They have to warm up to you. Mine didn't seem to love it, not like a dog or cat, but eventually they'll approach you, and there are spots they'll lift there little paws for to be pet.
i had a sweet girl that adored cuddles. She would try to get inside my shirt just to be as close to me as possible.
They look like they can’t sit still for more than 2 minutes
Yeah, hyperactive. 😃
Your chins are so chatty 🤣 mine is pretty quiet. He does the alarm bark when he's sleeping and sometimes does the happy chirps when he's running around during play time.
That's exactly how Henry is!
YOU’RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO’S CAUGHT THE THE SCREAMING! Lol omggggg I’ve been searching for someone else who would mention the blood curdling scream of a chinchilla! My chilla makes this sound when he knows for certain I’m awake in the morning and clearly able to deliver him his breakfast but I’m moving too slow for his liking lol the first time I heard it I spilled an açaí smoothie on a white couch 😑😆
Morning arises
Chin: BRING ME FOOD HOOMAN OR ELSE!
Hahahahahaha so cute
the first time my i heard my chinchilla screaming was when it’s was pitch black in the house and the power was out. i was trying to fall asleep and it scared me so bad! the whole house came to see what the noise was!
Such a little diva 😂
I describe it as dying piglet. Lol
Linus’ barking is so cute 😊
I love how they express their emotions, it’s like babies or smth😅
Oh chippah chipperson
their barking sounds like the cuter version of alert or angry/territorial squirrel
I want you to know that I'm so grateful these beautiful Chinchillas are in your loving & caring home. THANK YOU!! They are beautiful, love their sounds!!🐾🐾🤗💕💕
I used to have an adopted chinchilla when I was younger, she was named Chilli by her previous owner and spent her retirement years with my family. She was a sweetie and I loved watching her take dust baths lol. I miss her a lot.
kacking is the funniest thing. The barely "I'm touching you" and the chilllchilla responds with, "You fight me! You commit the war crimes! How dare you assault my lush fur with the greasy fingers! BARK BARK BARK BARK"
OMG the way he held the sign at the beginning of the video was so adorable❤❤❤❤❤
Goes to show that some animals are as intelligent as humans👍
They remind me of a cross between a guinea pig and a squirrel. So cute
My heart just melted! Your babies are precious!🥰 And very amusing! Lol If my daughter didn't have asthma, I would definitely get one!
When someone walked into the room, our chinchillas would run up to the side of the cage to be scratched behind the ear. If you strayed too far down to their side or back, they would make that first sound and jump, but just like the ones in the video, they never bit, they just turned around and looked at you like "excuse me?!"
They sound like laughing witches 💀
they kind of do! 😆
Chinchillas are so adorable and this video proves to be very useful in knowing more about them and their way of communicating. Thank you very much for sharing 😃.
Omgggg, thank you so much! My chinchilla grunts a bit and I could never find anywhere that told me what it meant so this is going to be so helpful making her happier 🙏
I have never seen a chinchilla before. They're precious
Is it abnormal that I don't hear them chirp that often while they play? Occasionally one or two of them, usually the same ones, do it pretty quietly. It's always so cute.
When my triplets were born (accidental pregnancy, apparently one of the two girls living together was actually a boy haha!), they would chirp all the time to find their mom, and she would chirp back. They would do it around their dad too. I got him neutered so he could be with the mom and not get her pregnant again (they are besties and it's so sweet), and while he was healing in a separate cage I would hold the babies up to his nose and they would always squeak happily at him. He would sometimes do it back too, or would at least be curious. It's adorable.
Now several times a week I'll find all of them, kids and parents, in a big cuddle puddle together 😭🥰 it's adorable!! The babies will need their own cage soon because they're getting big, and I'll miss seeing that. But I'll still let them all play together! (:
This was so adorable to read. Maybe you could get 1 mega cage for all of them? I'm not sure if that would work. Maybe get another cage and somehow try to combine them together?
Was getting him neutered exspensive? I got two chins so they could be cage mates but one of them ended up being a boy. They're already so bonded to eachother but I don't want him getting the other chin pregnant. So I've been curious if it would break the bank to get him fixed.
@@TheFirstCurse1that's a great idea! I've still got them living together right now, it's a little tight so I'd like to somehow find an even bigger cage at some point. But for now, they get along and cuddle a lot! (: vet gave me the go ahead as long as they're all getting enough food and not fighting. I'll have to find a place that makes giant cages!
@@katelyncook3924you know I actually don't remember the exact price, I think it was a couple hundred but not more than like two or three hundred. You could ask around at your local exotic vets and I bet they could give you a price estimate!
I love how Linus is the only one for the angry chattering. No doubt getting ready to torment and cause chaos
This is such a good video! When I first got my chinchilla, he used to bark every night. I think he was afraid of the dark, because after a couple nights I gave him a night light in his room and he hasn't barked in the middle of the night since. Now he mostly makes happy squeaks, although he will make grunting sounds at the small broom I use to sweep up poop in his cage every now and then. 😅
Thos squeaking sounds physically hurt me. They are just so cuuuuuteeee!
This is so helpful, thank you so much for sharing ♥️
Absolutely! So happy to help 🥰
The grunting is so freaking cute🥺
Awh this was great! They've got such funny little sounds 🥰
I thought squeaks are a sign of anxiousness, as my chin always squeaks while running round. It turns out to be happy! 😊
I never knew they were so adorable.
I always thought that they were like giant mice.
Chinchilla: you’re not gonna like me when I’m angry! 😡
me: oh no I think I will! lol 😆
Such a helpful vid! I just watched it again to determine what my chins were doing and they heard it and went wild never heard them so loud 🤣🤣
My chinchilla never made a lot of noise, so most of these were new to me, but one noise I'm intimately familiar with: grunting. Arctic had this thick cardboard tunnel (formerly an oatmeal tube) and would try to chew it/grab it from the sides. When it would roll away from him he would start attacking it, grunting, scratching at it, and lashing his tail 😂
wow never ever heard chinchillas be so vocal... and i helped run a petsmart for a decade back in my day.... lol this was insanely interesting... and very cool to see how committed you are to keeping such a nice habitat for your pets.
I like your channel!! I like how positive and up beat it is!!
Lol, I love how Linus is like "Stop ruining my fun!"
He looks so adorable
Every noise these powder puffs with tiny hands made was too much and now I'm dead. ❤
I have been a Chinchilla owner for many years and I even got 2 set of babies from my Chinchillas. They are big personalities and use different sounds and even barks. My Chinchillas could bark too often if their daily rouitine was disturbed or changed. Visiting family staying over night could upset them just to give you one example.
It's like a bunny and a rat had a baby hahaha. So cute!!
Chinchillas Are like top ten most cutest animal Im not lying for real
Back in my high school, there was a teacher who used her classroom as both a science class and a zoology club. And there she had loads of animals from birds to this massive bunny and two chinchillas. They were so cute but I never heard them make a sound before, so seeing this and finding out how they sound was incredible. Those two were so quiet, other than ruffling around in the jungle gym of their cage so I just assume it was how they all were 😅😍
The grunting sounds like a baby having a good chuckle
1:06 I started laughing uncontrollably and I don't know why. Anyone else? 🤣
Omg the grunting noise sounds like they are doing a evil laugh lol
i owned a chinchilla for 15 years and i learned they love "Wall riding" lol they sprint fast and bounce off walls to throw off anyone chasing them XD
That Black one is absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤️❤️❤️ My gosh I'd love to have a coat of him!!! ❤️❤️ Yup, I said it!! 🤣🤣
Chinchillas look like a mixture of a bunny and a mouse, so adorable!!! 🥰
Ohhhhh no their angry noise is the cutest of all
Thank you for these informative videos because there are few videos that help us understand their behavior and habits.
I had two chinnies many years ago, Zelda and Zora. They were such a delight and so intelligent. Zora was the sweetie and Zelda was the sass. 😊You take beautiful care of your gentlemen!
Linus's barking sounds a lot like one of my chinchilla's barking, the one who seems like she does it the most.
Also those chirps were sooooo precious 💞
This is so beautiful.. i'm in tears right now :')
I miss my little fluff ball, I had him when I was a kid, had to give him away when I moved.
I still remember his barking at our cat when the cat walked too close to his enclosure
They’re so cute
This is actually very helpful! I didn’t know chins made so many noises!
More sounds please! Knox is so funny yelling when he drops his toy. Poor little guy.
The grunting sometimes sounds like babies laughing
You know when you weren't looking for something, but you're happy to see it anyway? That's my experience with this video.
Why Are Chinchillas so cute? All their noises are adorable and they're so fluffy!
I was told that the teeth chattering could also mean they are happy. Everytime I give one of my chinchillas a treat she likes she does it EVERYTIME
im a new chinchilla owner and most of the time shes chattering her teeth, the video explanation got me worried to be honest :/
is there a specific source i can read from that would help ease my worries?
What absolutely adorable furballs
💁♂️ This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much. I can better understand their needs now. I'm glad I guessed right on the barking. 🥰👍
WHY IS THIS SO CUTE HELP
Chin sounds are the best!!!
This video make my day, thx bro
Fascinating. Thank you.
What a great video! I’ve heard my Gohan so almost all those sounds! 😂
He’s an only child so when he barks in the middle of the night it scares the life out of me! I always check on him and most of the time he’s just sitting there like 👀
Started watching and my cat and dog didn't react until the danger-call, and suddenly both of them were *very* interested in my phone before looking around the room 🤣
I am addicted to watching your chinchillas it must cost a fortune to keep up with them.
I like the happy sounds compilation! xD
Me too! It's super cute! ❤
Knoxys Happy chatters made me smile lot and I'm giggling a good chunk of Linus frustration he's funny / cute with it. I had no idea chins were this vocal with some these things ! Mines decently quite then wow ! I'm half way through and learning alot !
This may sound weird but I've never seen how big a chinchilla actually is. And this is the animal I've been looking for. I've always wanted an animal that I could place in my cupped hands and it would fit perfectly. The chinchilla looks like it would fit in my cupped hands perfectly and I'd carry it for like a few seconds before it gets bored or annoyed and then leaves. But I'll still have that memory of me holding an animal in my cupped hands. I don't know why this is one of my desires but it just must happen before I die
they actually dont like to be held , if they allow you to touch them at all. Plays harder to get than a cat. Maybe try a guinea pig ? -
I suggest a tea cup dog or as the person above said, a Guinea pig.
So cute and cuddly 😊
Thankyou for this. I just got some new chinchillas who are more vocal then my first two and i had no idea what their noises meant whilst doing the bonding process. Turns out he was barking
thank you for clarifying which noise means which I'm looking after my brother's chinchilla while he is away at college and he'll sometimes make the exact same sound Henry makes at 3:30 he's an older little guy (over 10 years old) so I do worry about him sometimes. he seems to be in good health though and i take good care of him.
That grunting sounds like they’re laughing🤣🤣
They're like mice if mice were big and adorable.
I really like how they make fox noises/"laugh" when frustrated.
Thank you for this!! I just got two boys yesterday! So I’m happy I have an idea what the sounds mean, whenever they start making sounds :)
I've had my chinchilla for almost 3 weeks. No noise until he woke me cleaning my eyelashes making chirp noises, or agitated noises I'm not sure which. I know I thought he had a cold in my half asleep state, but when I interrupted his cleaning he would stop, so I figured it wasn't upper respiratory related. He may have been frustrated buy my mascara maybe? Listen I wasn't prepared for a chinchilla grooming in my sleep, and from now on will make sure my makeup is washed off, so cleaning my eyelashes in safe. Yes I stopped him. 3 times. He REALLY wanted to clean my eyelashes yo.
Holy!!! Chatty little fuzz ball. How adorable! I had no idea they were so active and chatty!!🤣👍🥰🥰❤️🇨🇦
What are these adorable creatures! I wish I had one!❤
Their cute little chirps remind me a bit of guinea pigs! ❤️ I love how sweet they sound, even when they're annoyed. lol
I heard my chinchilla start barking, so I got concerned, thought it was a sign of sickness. Glad to know its not something like that
They are so precious... 😍😍😍
São lindos!!!
the sound of them screaming so so funny 🤣 and whenever my chin barks at night my dog just sits near the hallway wondering what that sound was
Knox is more adorable than I have ever seen.😍
Knox: SOMEBODY GET IN HERE AND LOVE ME!
Thank you sooooo much for this video. That was so cute(he threw the card away), I bust out a laugh.
Sebastián my lil chin barks in his sleep when he's dreaming. It's adorable.
The grunting sounds like miniature hyenas. So cute!
It was hard not to cry while watching this. I just lost my chinchilla on Christmas morning (2023). She was such a sweetheart and I loved her so much. She just died suddenly and so young and I will never stop mourning her. I miss you, diamond. My sweet girl. I wish you'd come back to me
