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 😂

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 🥰

I love how chinchillas will just hold literally anything you give them

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 💜

It's like a cat, hamster, and rabbit all in one ❤

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.

My boy is so quiet. I’ll occasionally hear him have the happy chirps when free roaming but that’s all I’ve heard!

I didn’t even know chinchillas made noises. They sound a little bit like guinea pigs. This was very interesting and cute

I like how for rabbits, teeth chattering means calm/purring usually. But for chinchilla’s it means they be ANGRY.

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.

They look like they can’t sit still for more than 2 minutes

Linus’ grunting sounds like muffled baby laughs. They are all so cute!

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 😑😆

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.

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 love how they express their emotions, it’s like babies or smth😅

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!

This is so helpful, thank you so 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 🙏

Awh this was great! They've got such funny little sounds 🥰

I like your channel!! I like how positive and up beat it is!!

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.

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! (:

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 😃.

They sound like laughing witches 💀

I love how Linus is the only one for the angry chattering. No doubt getting ready to torment and cause chaos

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"

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

their barking sounds like the cuter version of alert or angry/territorial squirrel

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👍

I have never seen a chinchilla before. They're precious

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.

It's like a bunny and a rat had a baby hahaha. So cute!!

Thank you for these informative videos because there are few videos that help us understand their behavior and habits.

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.

I thought squeaks are a sign of anxiousness, as my chin always squeaks while running round. It turns out to be happy! 😊

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 🤣🤣

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. 😅

More sounds please! Knox is so funny yelling when he drops his toy. Poor little guy.

This is so beautiful.. i'm in tears right now :')

Chinchilla: you’re not gonna like me when I’m angry! 😡 me: oh no I think I will! lol 😆

This is actually very helpful! I didn’t know chins made so many noises!

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 😅😍

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!

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 :)

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 👀

I never knew they were so adorable. I always thought that they were like giant mice.

1:06 I started laughing uncontrollably and I don't know why. Anyone else? 🤣

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 video make my day, thx bro

The grunting is so freaking cute🥺

Why Are Chinchillas so cute? All their noises are adorable and they're so fluffy!

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.

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 !

2:33 Linus: grunting Captions: *[Laughter]*

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

Lol, I love how Linus is like "Stop ruining my fun!"

💁‍♂️ 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. 🥰👍

I like the happy sounds compilation! xD

So cute and cuddly 😊

Linus’ barking is so cute 😊

I am addicted to watching your chinchillas it must cost a fortune to keep up with them.

Fascinating. Thank you.

Thos squeaking sounds physically hurt me. They are just so cuuuuuteeee!

Chinchillas Are like top ten most cutest animal Im not lying for real

You know when you weren't looking for something, but you're happy to see it anyway? That's my experience with this video.

The grunting sounds like a baby having a good chuckle

Their cute little chirps remind me a bit of guinea pigs! ❤️ I love how sweet they sound, even when they're annoyed. lol

Mine has gotten really good at mimicking mouth movements of speech. She used to watch me all the time and about a year ago she started copying my mouth movements while I talk. Now she is really convincing and even mimics TV dialog and some visitors. It's hard to catch her doing her best stuff because she is very camera aware, but I do have some pretty good short videos of it on my KZfaq page.

WHY IS THIS SO CUTE HELP

Holy!!! Chatty little fuzz ball. How adorable! I had no idea they were so active and chatty!!🤣👍🥰🥰❤️🇨🇦

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

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

I really like how they make fox noises/"laugh" when frustrated.

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

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

Thank you! I own 8 chinchillas and I’ve been wondering what their sounds mean, it can be confusing!! Thank you!!! 😁😁😁

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 🤣

Chinchillas look like a mixture of a bunny and a mouse, so adorable!!! 🥰

What i learned from this video : Chinchillas can run extremely fast

Thank you!! I heard my Chin barking and I thought he was hurt 😭 (I was watching a yter, and I don’t think he recognized the voice since I haven’t watched the yter near him before)

Thank you sooooo much for this video. That was so cute(he threw the card away), I bust out a laugh.

They are so precious... 😍😍😍

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

What are these adorable creatures! I wish I had one!❤

Can’t stop watching this video for some reason

Omg the grunting noise sounds like they are doing a evil laugh lol

That Black one is absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤️❤️❤️ My gosh I'd love to have a coat of him!!! ❤️❤️ Yup, I said it!! 🤣🤣

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.

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?!"

I've never had a pet chinchilla but they seem like really lovely creatures. I might have to introduce one into the family 😊

Every noise these powder puffs with tiny hands made was too much and now I'm dead. ❤

That's adorable 😍

Knox is more adorable than I have ever seen.😍

I absolutely love my chins! I have two boys. Axel and Goose. Axel I got when he was 3 months old or so, and Goose was surrendered to me when I was working in a Tractor Supply Co. Axel loves attention and screams at like three in the morning. It scares the daylights out of me every time, considering I’m dead asleep! We get our house next year, and I cannot wait to make a room just for my boys! Custom cages and everything.

What absolutely adorable furballs

The grunting sounds like miniature hyenas. So cute!

Beautiful Chinchila

They are too cute!!!! Omg, why are they this cute?!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️
