I am researching on getting a chinchilla and just held one for the first time and it was the most softest thing i have ever felt in my life!!!!!!!😁😂🤗😊😋😘😍😅😄 Awesome video!
I'm researching chinchillas for a local shelter! I wanna be the small animal handler so I'm making papers on each one. Birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, sugar gliders, ferrets, etc. Thanks for all the info!
I had a hamster called biscuit and I only had him for five months and them he died Bc he was super sick but after the coronavirus I will be able to get a new hamster called buzz
@@creepywaffles4783 yeah I think it was from stress since I kept him in a crittertrail but I got 2 female mice after that and they lived 1.5 years and I kept them in a pretty big cage
Hi I have a few questions I don’t know if you know the answers but I’m considering getting a chinchilla so I want to be prepared is so. 1. Where should I put the chinchillas dust bath? I don’t know whether I should put it in the cage or not. And if it isn’t going to be in the cage, where should I put it? 2. Where should I put my cage? Should I put it near the light. Perhaps near my window? I don’t know if they should be near light or only have a little bit of light in or none at all. 3. How often should I clean the cage? 4. How often should I feed the chinchilla? 5. How often should I give my chinchilla treats? 6. If I let my chinchilla outside of the cage, how long should the chinchilla be out for? 7. Where should the chinchilla got to the toilet? 8. How much food should I give the chinchilla? 9. I have a cat, would the chinchilla be scared of my cat? 10. I got to school, before I go to school should I feed the chinchilla? 11. How big should the chinchillas bed be? I can’t think of any questions, sorry there was a lot of questions. I hope you can asnwer them thank you for this video, hoping to give a chinchilla a nice home. :)
panic!atthearianagrande 1. Don’t put the bath in the cage. Reserve it for only twice a week and you can give it during playtime. You can put it along with your chin storage and only take it out when needed. 2. it’s best to be in a place where sun will never directly shine on the cage. It’s okay to have soft light in the area but not too brightly during the day. 3. Daily sweep it and get rid of the old hay. Weekly change the bedding and wipe the whole cage down. 4. Every day make sure he’s got plenty of hay and pellets 5. Every other day is best. 6. For as long as he wants or least an hour 7. They go to the bathroom anywhere they want to in the cage. 8. unlimited amount 9. yes keep the cat away. Even if your chinnie doesn’t show signs of being scared they will still be stressed out. 10. Yes in the morning and evening make sure they have enough food for the day or night 11. what do you mean? Chinchillas don’t need beds. They sleep wherever they want to
I found a winter white chinchilla from a lady and I NEED IT. So thanks for the care ! I just went out and bought all the stuff from this (plus more obviously)
@@boob1351 aw tysm, yea, at first they fought a lot and we’re very territorial but I let them interact every day and now they’re best friends and do everything together!
I was recently given a chinchilla that has been neglected for around five years. The fur around his back legs has been pulled out from stress, and I'm trying to bond with him. Any advice??
I have a feeder for both my pellets and hay (and sometimes carrots) is that okay? It is a pretty good size as well (in my opinion), and i want to know if it would be enough for her?
So I want to get 2 chinchillas (female), but I don’t know how to tell my parents. I’ve already counted out how much money I’ll need, what I want to buy, the pros and cons, the temperature, blah blah blah. But I don’t know how to bring it to tell them with out them saying “NO!!!” Any help? Also, I really appreciate your channel! You’ve taught me so much stuff about chinnies! Thank you 😊
Thank you! Just one question, I watched one of your other videos and you said that you don’t recommend fans to keep your chin cool. We don’t have A/C and the portable A/C’s are expensive. Would a fan still work if it was on all the time? 🤔
Maddie C Not really because fans just blow around the hot air, they don't produce fresh, cold air and so they won't really work. Plus fans create a draft which isn't very good on chinchillas🤷💕💕💕
Maddie C I'd just like to let you know that females are a little bit more feistier than males and are a little bit more aggressive too, that's why males are recommended for new chinchilla owners😉 (but you probably already knew that haha)
I want a chinchilla so bad ima tell you a useless story of how I found out about chinchillas I was on Google and searched up The zodiac signs last words I'm a pisces and it said TELL MY CHINCHILLA.I LOVE HIM I dodnt know what a chinchilla was When I saw it I cried and laughed at it taking a bath k bye
Hi there I just wanted to know there is a good I am giving my chinchilla and it’s called Vita Prime Chinchilla Formula and there are dried carrots, banana chips and etc I don’t know if it is safe for them to eat the other things included with the actual pellets or not
Centipede_Shrek, hey this comment is kinda old but I will still help u. Don’t get a mix because they will eat the yummy sugary stuff and not the healthy stuff. I think good pellets are the oxbow brand. You can find them on chewy.com and you can probably find it on amazon or at Petsmart/Petco.
Hi, I have a quick question: do you think it's safe to use pillowcases as bedding? (as in put a pillowcase over the cage pans) or is it only acceptable to use fleece?
lmao okay The reason we use fleece is because it wicks away moisture and sends it beneath to the absorbant layer (there is supposed to be one) and it keeps the top mostly dry for the chinnie. The pillow case would just stay wet where water drops or your chinnie pees for too long and it's not good for them😊
So I want to get a chinchilla but I don’t know any pet stores that sell them besides PetSmart but I don’t know if I can trust PetSmart with al the rumored allegations towards them. Any suggestions? I got my guinea pig from pet supplies plus but they don’t sell chinchi’s (my guinea pig passed in August that’s why I’m looking for a new friend, I know chinchi’s don’t always get along with other animals.)
....You do know that critter nation is a VERY expensive brand right? Like I found a cage, about 5cm sorter in length, 3cm shorter width and 10cm shorter height, brand new quality much cheaper (like £100 cheaper) which is also great for chinchillas. Especially since they can do fine on a single floor, they dont NEED a huge enclosure - although it is preferable.
Hi! Me and my sister have been researching about Chinchillas and we wanted to know id your cage can fit 2 Chinchillas because we want 2 Chinchillas And we want to know if you HAVE to have a wheel. Do we have to or is it a option
Amity Vira They can, but it’s very hard. You can only train them to pee in a specific place, but not poop only there too. I have tried to teach Merlin before but it takes a lot of time and patience, and Merlin pees in one spot in his cage anyway so I gave up. However there might be some videos on TH-cam on it. Not sure though. It’s very similar to how you could train a rabbit, so maybe look up something like that😉
Wen ppl read back off the bags with chinchilla food in it how do you now if theres Bad stuff in it cuz i don´t now what´s bad stuff in chinchilla food i don´t now how to say this i just hope your understand
Vivianadiva I refill his hay sack and pellet bowl every morning for fresh food and make sure that he always has plenty of both throughout the whole day and also before I go to bed😊
What i do is mix the food. Before i go to work i feed them (9:30 AM) I always buy 3 different types of food and mix it up. Chinchillas are picky eaters so they will pick out whatever they feel like! And i always supply hay with it. When i get home 10:15 PM icheck on them to see how much they ate. 8/10 times the bowl is empty so i will refill it together with the hay and that is my thing.
Vivianadiva well 2x a day is enough for me. When you say at night what time do you think? I always make sure they have plenty to last the entire day. They should be able to eat whenever they like. Just like we do.
Could you film a video about keeping chinchillas quiet at night and chinchilla hair loss, like on the nose? Thank you! I love your videos and they help a lot. I have a chinchilla that I got recently, her name is Roxy and she is losing fur on her nose. She also can be very noisy at night but I just today put fleece on her cage. I am hoping it will help her cage be quiet. Do chinchillas need wheels? My chinchilla makes a lot of noise with them. Love Merlin and your videos :)
Antonella Wheels are definitely necessary for them Id day. And there’s not much you can do about the noise at night since they are most active and it’s important for them to have that time to do what they want to do. Also, not sure about the nose fur. Is it a lot?
@@TheChinchillaNotebook is just a little patch on the nose, and thank you, we starting putting her in a different room so she can have her time to play at night.
How big does the gap between the cages need to be I'm worried that they can fit through the cage gaps cause my cage doesn't have the typical small gaps like your cage..
Question; I have a chinchilla. I have the same cage as you do, and he loves it. I plan on getting another chin, so can I have 1 chin on the bottom floor and 1 on the top, or should I use another cage I have?
Are you planning to let them be together or only separate? If you are planning to keep them separate, two separate cages are best, because they'll have more room plus they can see each other better and sometimes just seeing another chinnie is good for them, not only necessarily living together💕😊
Dem Wafflez I can advise you to look into it on google and look at some sites on Chinchilla bonding. I don’t really want to give any advice on it since I’ve never experienced it myself or bonded two chins together😊
Hi, I just got my first chinchilla ( black velvet wrap) 3 days ago. Thought it was funny because the one thing a forget and I discovered two days ago was a broom. So for the next few days instead of sweeping, a have to take the fleece out and dump the poo out every time.😂😬Just for a few days though.
Can chinchilla's have wire/plastic hay racks? I'm not sure because I've never seen someone using those types. Thx! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THE BEST CHINCHILLA CHANNEL ON TH-cam❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Audrey Bender It’s not at all. Chinchillas have ribs like tooth picks and are very delicate creatures. They aren’t like cats and dogs and shouldn’t be put them on harnesses or leashes. It would be much too dangerous😉
Crazy Bacon I open his curtains and flip on the light. Usually it's pretty dim during the day. And then at night I have a bright night-light for him to see just a bit better😊
zoo holic Goji berries are not as high in sugar as say cranberries or raisins and can be given more often. I got that from the owner of a chinchilla rescue and breeder. She recommended those treats to me🤷💕
zoo holic It's all good, I'm actually glad you told me this because I only want the best for Merlin and other chins. I'd rather not be willingly ignorant😊💕💕
you should get him a friend they are very social creatures so you should always have more than one but if you dont get them together you have to bond them...
Okay, so I just told my mother, " Could I possibly get a chinchilla for Christmas or My B-day". She said " Sure, just Get all the stuff and Cage and we will work on it. I don't know if I have ever been this happy .. Reply some names, I'm not creative..

I had a bad day
My mouse teddy died and idk why I only had him for 3 months though
Angel wolf The limelight Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels and it really hurts 😞💕💕💕
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry for your loss but what would be better is that you could get a chinchilla it might help over your loss
I had a hamster called biscuit and I only had him for five months and them he died Bc he was super sick but after the coronavirus I will be able to get a new hamster called buzz
I recommend a youtuber called munchies place. I watch her all the time and her videos may help you figure out what it could be

Hey, I'm pretty late to the party, but I was wondering if chinchillas can be litter trained? I'm getting mixed results on search engines...
Amity Vira They can, but it’s very hard. You can only train them to pee in a specific place, but not poop only there too.

Hii so I hope u answer do u feed your chinchilla in the morning, afternoon, and at night? Or like how often do u feed your chinchilla
Vivianadiva I refill his hay sack and pellet bowl every morning for fresh food and make sure that he always has plenty of both throughout the whole day and also before I go to bed😊

Vivianadiva well 2x a day is enough for me. When you say at night what time do you think? I always make sure they have plenty to last the entire day. They should be able to eat whenever they like. Just like we do.
I have a huuuuge question..
After their dust bath, do you wipe it? And with what?
Gacha Looser no you just let him be they just wanna be covered in dust

Can chinchilla's have wire/plastic hay racks? I'm not sure because I've never seen someone using those types. Thx! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THE BEST CHINCHILLA CHANNEL ON TH-cam❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Layla Beatrice Plastic is toxic for chinchillas when ingested and can tear up the intestines if swallowed. Wire is okay though wooden is recommended 😉

How much pellets do you need to put in the bowl????
Love your videos!!!!
Do you put your chin on a harness Ives seen people do it and was wondering if it was safe?!??
Audrey Bender It’s not at all. Chinchillas have ribs like tooth picks and are very delicate creatures. They aren’t like cats and dogs and shouldn’t be put them on harnesses or leashes. It would be much too dangerous😉
I LOVE UR CHANNEL IM HOPING TO GET ONE FOR CHRISTMAS MERLIN IS ADORABLE😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜
Where do you get the barley/oats treats
What tile did you use
how long have u had ur chinchilla cause i am getting one and i want to know how long they live
They can live from 15 to 20 years. Some live even longer than that 💕
How do you get good lighting because when i record i keep it dark for my chinchilla
Crazy Bacon I open his curtains and flip on the light. Usually it's pretty dim during the day. And then at night I have a bright night-light for him to see just a bit better😊
I finally was able to get the goji berries,how many can Luna eat a day?
Jim Baker One or two😊💕
zoo holic Goji berries are not as high in sugar as say cranberries or raisins and can be given more often. I got that from the owner of a chinchilla rescue and breeder. She recommended those treats to me🤷💕
zoo holic Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely be cutting back the amount Merlin gets on a weekly basis😊
zoo holic Okay, thank you! I guess I didn't realize the truth in that. But thanks for telling me, I appreciate the advice😉
zoo holic It's all good, I'm actually glad you told me this because I only want the best for Merlin and other chins. I'd rather not be willingly ignorant😊💕💕
merlin is so cute!
Max Allen Aww, thank you!
OMG im geting 1 ahhhhhh and your chinchillas are cute

Karen Stillings thank you!😌
how often should you give them a dust bath?
Twice a week is a good amount 💕
i am getting a chinchilla. veery helpful
you should get him a friend they are very social creatures so you should always have more than one but if you dont get them together you have to bond them...
Where did you get the cage from?
I’m getting a chinchilla but I’m paranoid about what cage it’s hard to tell how big they are in a picture
Where did you get the cage?
Where did you buy the chinchilla toys so the chinchilla can chew on it
Do you feed him any dried herbs or blossoms? And why/why not? :3
No, I've never gotten around to trying it but I hope to in the future😊
so helpful thank you so much

CHINCHILLA RACISM
I have two chinchillas and there names are cloud and Jasper
Okay, so I just told my mother, " Could I possibly get a chinchilla for Christmas or My B-day". She said " Sure, just Get all the stuff and Cage and we will work on it. I don't know if I have ever been this happy .. Reply some names, I'm not creative..
What if my cage is 4 feet 9 inches tall?
He is adorable I am very happy I am getting my baby girl today I can't what to pick her up
