My Chinchilla's First Playtime!

  • Hi everyone!! (scroll for cage/accessory products link 👇)
    Finally posting Finn's very first playtime with me, it went so well! He's adjusted beautifully in the last few weeks, I'm thrilled that it's been going as good as it has. He and Knox has started bonding, which is also going extremely well - better than I could have ever hoped. Here are a few key points in this video for socializing with a new, unfamiliar, or uncomfortable chin:
    1. Offer treats and toys by hand, but don't chase!
    2. Give them a place to feel safe and hide; they're prey animals, this is a natural and normal behavior and shouldn't be seen as a negative!
    3. Let them climb on you without touching them right away; you want to let them know your body is a good jungle gym alternative without the threat of your hands and arms grabbing.
    4. Have lots of toys, treats (small pieces), and dust out for them to enjoy and be distracted by.
    5. Absolutely talk to them! Softly at first, then full volume so they get used to it.
    6. Do short sessions, 5-10 mins at first, then longer each time. I'd say no longer than 25-30 mins a session as chins overheat easily :)
    7. If you're having trouble picking up your chin and getting them to and from their cage for these playtimes, use the dust house as a transporter; usually they hop right in!
    Hope this helps, can't wait to share our next video which is Knox and Finn's first play time! Prepare for cuteness overload...

    He’s so pretty! His half black half white tail is so unique! And the fade in his fur is also really unique! I love the new member! Hope he feels like he belongs there! I have to say, he is adorable.

    Awww Finn's already so comfortable with you. Great job building your relationship! I was wondering why you decided to have his playtime in the bathroom instead of in their room?
    P.S. It was kinda funny to see you sitting in front of the toilet, reminded me of all my hangovers haha

    • @chinpals
      @chinpals  10 месяцев назад +16

      Oh lord not the hangover reminder 😅 haha good question though, I did that because it’s a neutral territory with no smells of the other chins. This will also be the place I bond Knox and him for the first few times so they aren’t agitated by other chin smells. Plus, they’re less likely to be territorial in a place neither of them smell like or claim!

    I think that tail is deserving of some corn rows.... Box braids- nah, too much work... Maybe a lovely Dutch Mohawk Braid?! Oh the options with that poofaloooofaliciously spectacular tail!!
    (Also, I SINCERELY admire your self control in not just wanting to reach out and scoop him up/pet him every 2.3 seconds?!)

    • @chinpals
      @chinpals  10 месяцев назад +1

      Their common board is kiln dried, untreated pine so that is safe! I can’t remember what exactly white wood is
