Inr :)

EmsLilZoo Thanks!

Leah Campbell Aww that’s great! I hope you get one☺️

Exactly - chinchillas are not good at realizing and adjusting their body temperatures. There has been cases where a chinchilla runs on the wheel nonstop then die from a heat stroke.

WonderPetChronicles Aww thanks💕

Livedogs1622 Vanutler Aww glad to hear that 💕

Thank you sooooooo much for replying I was so happy when I saw that you saw my comment thank youuuuuu

Hi

The Corgi Louie Hope the adjusting process goes well!😊

Joshua M you definitely should I just got my first one and I love him so much! He defiantly hasn’t made my life harder and maybe he’s made it easier because If I’m having a bad day I know I can just come home to him and his cute little face (btw if you do get one this is just a suggestion of a name: *chimichanga* I thought if this because my chins name is burrito)

Chloe the potato I’m a kid. Are chinchillas relatively easy pets?

Saif Ullah Farooq not really. They are expensive, lots of work to bond with, and they poop tons and take everyday maintenance. But other than that, they are great pets.

Tatyana Morris Must be so exciting!

Kendall Johnson I change the fleece every 5 to 7 days or when needed. The tile is just an option. I like it because it keeps him cool down there when he’s running on his wheel plus he doesn’t pee on it so it’s easier to keep clean. And it totally depends on your preferences. I used to use wood shavings and I don’t like them as much as fleece. Fleece is much neater and easier to clean 💕

marika giakoumelou I’ve used it for 7 years for all my pets, and it’s great! Any Timothy hay works so long as it’s not too dusty, fresh and green. There’s been some variation in quality recently though with oxbow.

I would use small pet select hay :) but oxbow is fine🤷🏼‍♀️

I love it

I use oxbow and I love it personally, I’ve been using it for about a year. My chins love it.

Evie Smith I think she said in another vid that it depends on how they act if they don’t get along then get another one but most likely they will get along so probably not

Mojtaba Fallah ikr

The Chinchilla Notebook awesome! Also Merlin is the cutest chinnie I’ve ever seen, you are a very good chinnie mom :))

Nana Banana I have. It’s called How To Use Fleece With Chinchillas where I explain how I clean mine too😌

It’s from amazon. It’s called Chin Spin 💕

The glass All Living Things water bottle has worked well for me💕

Paige Sherrod, I think that is plastic. You will need a metal one :)

@@phrog1582 looking at the description it says there are a few options, either galvanized steel or aluminum; would those be appropriate? Its also made of steel and stainless steel

Paige Sherrod, if it is metal it should be fine! Just make sure you watch you chinchilla and make sure he/she is t going to get hurt on it :)

@@phrog1582 Thank you so much for the advice!

When you use fleece bedding, it should be machine washed at least every 3 days.

Elise Midgley well, you would need to wash it in the washer because they pee and poop. It would get very dirty and smelly if you don’t wash it.

charlene playz It definitely is. I highly recommend the oxbow brand 😌

Essentials pellets are good like in the video

Miss cotton candy cat :3 Whenever it starts to get rough or every 2 or so months 💕

llama. com You will definitely need Timothy hay for them. Hay makes up most of their diet, about 75%. I would try different brands like Oxbow and All Living Things and others just to test which ones he’s less allergic too. But there’s no way around it. That’s the type of hay they need to stay nourished💕

thanksss

Tile what do you mean

You mean bedding cause we use fleece bedding for the chinchillas paws

Bumble Bee Where did you get it from?

You can't technically "train" them but you can make it appeasing to them. Some methods include: putting a litter box in a corner they pee in and blocking off all other corners. Plus an added bonus if you put a different bedding in the litter pan from what is in the cage and some people even have success will adding a decent size rock in the litter box. They say its kinda like sitting on toilet for a chinchilla. IDK its weird. Also, you can only train them to pee in a box since they do not have control over where they poop.

I personally give my chinchillas about a 1/2 a cup daily. Typically chinchillas will not over eat their pellets. So I would suggest giving them as much as they will eat in a day.

I would suggest looking at Pandamonium Pets on Etsy.

There’s a lot of different websites such as AZ Chinchillas, Zoey & Lilo’s Toy Box, TJ’s Chinchilla Supplies, Ronda’s Chinchillas. You can also find lots of cute things on Etsy shops 💕

sharon - yes

sharon - Chinchillas of all ages should be eating pellets as well as hay😌

@@TheChinchillaNotebook thank you! i bought my chin pellets after that comment

Fehrplay she said in another video that she really wants to get another one eventually

Fehrplay she bought one

Princess Arie I get it off AZ Chins💕

You can buy it at almost any pet store where I live, but it depends.

Natalia O’Hara it’s ok

Natalia O’Hara It’s fine. The biggest ingredient in good pellets are actually hay so they’re still getting the grass💕

The Chinchilla Notebook omg hi and thanks

Animals 101 They’re socially very different, require different setups and buns are really prone to respiratory infections due to dust so they’re not good mixes! Also most rabbits actually carry a bacteria called pasteurella that can kill a chinchilla if they’re exposed to each other :) that’s why mine are housed in different levels of the house and I have to wash my hands between contact. It’d be super cute if they could be together safely though.

My bunny is a free roam and i let my chinchilla out and they tried to fight. i seperated them before anything happened. My chinchilla is kinda evil though so

LifeAsTheMiddle i am pretty sure it’s a critter nation cage, and I think you can get it on amazon.

Diana_The_ Duck Around 1 year I think

The Chinchilla Notebook ty! And what are some safe foods for chinchillas

Pattie Deville Merlin always pees in one corner of his cage too😆

@Sarah Colvin sorry I meant flying saucer. They are similar to the wheel and do the same thing though. I got mine from flyingsaucerwheels.com. They are supposed to last around 10-15 years because you can buy replacement parts. The wheel makes noise but not horrible to the point where you can't fall asleep. (My chins in my bedroom) Oh and it was $85

There are a lot of breeders that suggest against a wheel in a cage due to the risk of heat stroke. So as long as you have a large enough cage they should be fine and will primarily get their exercise by running around their cage.

Mei Tachibana I suggest covering ledges with fleece and if chin will chew, remove. It’s not that expensive anyway. I don’t have any targets or Walmarts in my country, but apparently they have fleece. Any fleece blanket will do

@@mefovarka i am Front Germany, wenn dont have Walmart and all The other stuff either

Mei Tachibana And I am from Russia, I don’t even know what exactly Walmart is

Chinchillas take a lot time to bond with their owners. Mine took 5 months. Plus chinchilla don't really like to be handled much anyway.

Monstergamer 635 that’s how they are they need to bite stuff so there teeth can grow or else they won’t be able to eat

Mellsan Yes, 2 tablespoons is the right amount but since Merlin no longer overeats I just give him whatever he wants 💕

New research shows its important to Give unlimited amount of pellets like hay
