thanks :) yeah anyone who thinks that need to do some serious research. I watch a documentary called 'the elephant who loved to much', basically it was a baby elephant who's mother died when she was a few weeks old, a lady then raised her, but left her in the care of her friend for a month, as she had to go somewhere, the baby elephant thought she'd lost a second mother, and she basically died of a broken heart, she stopped eating, drinking, she'd cry.. its so sad.
That's sad.... I used to have rabbits but hawks or coyotes were trying to eat them.... I let them run around the yard, one laid by a bush and the other two sat together under a lounge chair :(
Thank you that was extremely enlightening despite the fact that I don't have a chinchilla. It is apparent that you love you pets and I find that beautiful to see.
I've just lost one of my chinchillas (about an hour ago) and this has helped me so much thank you and so sorry for your loss, your chin is absolutely adorable.
So sorry for your loss, I lost my chin Asia recently too. She left behind her mate Neela and I was so worried about how she would cope without her. She was a bit off the first day or so but I tried the cuddly toy thing too and it really did seem to work, she would cuddle into it and I noticed she started eating and drinking more after I introduced the toy, so I really would also recommend that.
07f1rocks07 aww sorry to hear that. Yeah recently, even though its been like 6 months, Ruby has been snuggling with her toy, in her hammock, its so cute :)
tip #1 is appropriate, regardless of the pet. When my 17yr old kitty died (of renal failure), we let the other animals be with him in his last moments. They each came up, smelled him, paused, and then went to their favorite place to lay down. There wasn't the same wailing and calling as there was when my female cat lost her kitten (due to a genetic respiratory issue). You have my sincere empathy, and I'm saddened for your loss.
Aww I'm so sorry for your loss :(. I hope you have an amazing holiday despite everything :). Also sunshine has been shedding wonderfully, she just got done with her second shed a couple days ago. Thank you for all your help!
This video was EXTREMELY helpful. I had a pair of bonded chinchillas and found one of them lifeless this morning so I've been very concerned for my other one and this video will definitely help both me and her. Thank you soo much for posting this!
give them a few days or a week and get them a friend. its crucial for a social animal like them. it doesn't have to be the same breed it can be any other good friendly animal.
I am so thankful you did this video. My 6 year old male chinchilla "Monkey" passed away yesterday evening and it has been detrimental to say the least. Like your baby girl, I believe he had a heart attack as there were no physical signs of injury. He actually passed in my arms so I am thankful for that as he knew he was being loved and cuddled as he passed. I am going straight away when I'm off work today to get a snuggle safe toy for my remaining 15 year old chin "Chili" (who is Monkey's father) to snuggle with and help with the transition of his loss. I wish I knew of the idea to let Chili see Monkey after he passed to help with the grieving but I have already placed him in a little coffin and have buried him in the animal graveyard area in my backyard. Chili seemed to be doing well this morning as he was excited when I gave him some of the OxBow strawberry treats so I'm praying he continues to eat and drink well. OxBow also makes yogurt drops in several flavors that are safe for chins so check them out for your baby girl. Again, thank you for filming this video as hard as I know it was for you at the time. Look forward to seeing more videos of your chin baby! ♥
Thanks so much for putting this video up!! I had 2 male Chinchillas- ChiChi & Roo - same as you, we went in one morning to check on the chinchillas and Roo had passed away he was in his fish tank / dust bath and Chichi right next to him trying to keep him warm. Roo was cold so I know that Chichi knew he was gone. Chichi is eating & drinking but is shedding something awful! I know he's missing his brother very much as they have been together for 7 years come mother's day. I'm planning a new wood Chin cage for him in hopes that it will break him from shedding since the atmosphere will be different and we will be able to move him from room to room so he can be where we are. we both knew Chichi was stressing from missing Roo- but now after seeing the video we're sure of it. thanks again and thanks for the tips!!! Mark n Susie
I had 2 guinea pigs and they were brothers. They grew up together and never really knew anyone outside of my family. About a week and a half ago the albino (one was albino and one is melanistic) passed away from kidney failure after a blockage from a bladder stone caused complications. He had to be put down at only 3 (about half way to 4) years old. If the way to deal with grieving with guinea pigs is in any way similar I did it all wrong and I hope it doesn't affect him in the future. I did allow the two to see each other one last time before I took him to the vet. I feel the remaining understood what was happening, however, because he was being a lot more gentle than usual. I never really got the chance to spend as much time as I usually did with him for the days after this occurred because of my own grieving. About a week ago I purchased a rescue guinea pig who is only 6-7 months old while getting supplies for another animal. I don't know if I introduced a new companion too soon or not but he does seem to be taking well to having a happy little distraction around. (I'm only worried about the size difference. 3.6 lbs compared to only 1.2 lbs). Please, if there's anything I should know that may be different or wasn't included here, tell me. This was the first animal I've lost other than carnival goldfish that lived for a week. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you! My Treelo just had to be put down yesterday. His brother, Tutter, seems to be doing alright for now, but I'm definitely trying to give him a lot of attention, and I considered a cuddle toy, as well. My heart is shattered for them both.
I experienced almost the same thing; my chinchilla Lula died unexpectedly, he was almost 3 years old and he was gasping for air before he died. My other chin Kuro is currently grieving and has almost a different personality
We had a chinchilla when I was a kid, we named him Twitch. He lived to be 8. We went on vacation to Hawaii, while away he developed some kind of digestive problem. He just gave up on life and died a week after we came back. It was so sad T_T. He was the best pet we ever had. He loved cuddles and would climb under my shirt and sleep on my chest. His favorite food was dried cranberries. Twitch also loved to shimmy up the back of the china cabinet by pressing his back against the cabinet and her feet and the wall and climb up, he would perch up there watching us and then jump off onto the back of a recliner. I think my favorite memory of him was how he would terrorize our cats :`D They would sit in a window above his cage with their tails hanging down between the cage and the wall. Twitch would run up to the top level and pull their tails before quickly jumping down to the bottom of the cage. The cats would jump and turn around to look at Twitch, but he would play innocent, when they turned back around he would do it again and again. We would be laughing hysterically watching this. I miss him.
Cranberries are a treat you're suppose to give them. We only gave him a few a day as a treat when he was out running. We didn't give it to him as a meal obviously. Would you eat an entire cake for dinner? It's the same concept as giving your dog a treat, its junk food.
My chinchilla himself just died a month ago... every chinchilla video in my recommended is like an emotional roller coaster... he got pneumonia and didn't make it through the first night I'm still really sad...
your an amazing care taker! I wish I knew these when my pet rat had died, then her sister would have started to attack herself. She stopped after a while, but it was scary. I'm so sorry for your lose, I hope Ruby recovered healthily
awww I'm sorry for the loss of Lola..I hope Ruby is doing well. it's nice to see someone take such good care of their pets; not just physically but mentally as well (as in theyre emotions).
I'm so sorry about Lola, :( I had a horse who got sick and passed only a few days after. It truly isn't fair to not know what happened. I believe that it's part of the closure to know what happened to the animal. Once again I'm very sorry :(
One of my chinchillas died in nearly identical circumstances to what you describe. I just found her dead in the cage at age 8 (and on my birthday no less). I ended up here because it's been about 6 weeks and my remaining chinchilla has been doing okay, but is just within the last few days much more vocal. But as far as I can tell, they're happy noises? So I don't know what's up with my chinchilla, but this video actually helped me a lot to know more about why Nibbler may have died. So thank you.
Just found my Chinchilla passed away today. She was 9. Seems a little early so I think she may of had a heart attack too. But I completely understand what you went through (completely normal day, went out to give her food expecting her to be jumping around and smiling like usual but I knew something was wrong when she didn’t start jumping around right when I walked up) I know I had nothing to do with it but I still obviously broke down crying and am still grieving many hours later.
Don't get another friend for your pet right away. Let them go through the grieving process and when they start acting like themselves again then you can consider a new friend for them.
I'm sorry for your loss. People don't realize animals are just like people. Animals are smarter than people realize. I've known this since I was a child. Chinny luv to all.
So I lost one of my chinchillas about 3 weeks ago but his brother the one I still have now never seemed to get sad he almost seemed like he got happier after his brother passed, is it possible for a chinchilla to not have to go through a grieving process after losing their sibling?
We have 2 chinchillas. They are in separate cages (one is male and one is female). I took mine to college with me as an emotional support animal, but had to bring him back because it was too hot. The female was shedding horribly. Ripping out fur / shedding violently is a big sign of stress.
I'm very sorry for what happened to your chinchilla but can you do more chinchilas videos and what they need because I'm thinking about getting one and if I do I need to know what they need what they're good on and I'm going to do some research
A Bird Lover yes we recommend you give them a cuddle toy and stroke them a lot too. Also try to feed them human biscuits instead of meals so they can eat when they like. And third be sure to show them the dead body... it really helps.
I had two chinchillas named Cocoa and Kilo. Cocoa passed away three days ago now. Kilo has barely eaten a thing, doesn't drink, and won't come out to play. She just lies with her stuffed toy, whining. I've tried all of these steps, but no luck. I'm really worried about her. Is there something still that I can do, or should I go on and take her to the vet? I was trying to avoid it because of the expenses, but Kilo is worth all the money in the world to me if it comes down to that.
thanks, no i think ruby is doing okay at the moment, and reintroducing a new chin will be a whole load of stress, and i'd need to buy another cage, etc.
My Chinchilla isn't eating has much as he was before I got him a new Chinchilla and so far it has been going fantastically as far as that goes. The only problem is that he is not eating normally as before.
Did you cry? I lost my baby back in 2012. I miss her everyday. I couldn't sleep for 2 weeks because of my grieving process. Chinnies steal your heart and your home lol
My Chin had to be put down at three and we buried her as soon as we went back to my house. I don’t particularly want to dig up a dead chinchilla, what should I do?
Just a note - if you put down your pet, don't put them directly together. the stuff they put them down with will still be on them, and you don't want to risk the other one licking it and getting sick. By all means, let them see each other, and (assuming they won't get upset by the scent of the drug they used) even consider letting them smell each other (I find pets avoid the scent though) but with something like that, you have to be extra careful. Just a heads up.
I need this information. my baby boy Tom passed away and his little brother jerry is now alone... it breaks my heart. I wasn't able to let jerry see Tom. I regret that now, but I can do the rest. thank you
I had two rabbits, Mother and Son. The Mother escaped our garden and got killed by foxes. The Son didn't know what happened and also escaped the garden. He lay where his mother got killed. A few days later we found out he died. Yeah. Thats depressing.
So sorry about Lola! I have one question. I’m planning on getting a chinchilla. And I’ve heard that it’s recommended for there too be two chinchillas since they get lonely. So if I happened to be In your situation would I need to get another chinchilla for the one that’s left?
I don't think it's a good idea for a grieving chinchilla since she just lost her friend. It would most likely cause fighting so soon but after they are finished grieving or seem a bit more perkier and you are ready (after the loss of a pet) then you can get another.
CrystalShardsLPS The grieving chinchilla would most likely reject the new one, especially since she's grieving. They'd just fight. If you're going to have 2 chinchillas they need to be together since birth, or at least when they're still young. This is just information I've picked up since working at a pet shop.... ;)
I'm thinking about actually getting a chinchilla but I was wondering are there any bad genetic diseases I should look out for because I know that's a very big problem with most pet rodents these days...
I got 2 chinchillas at 16 or so. Male and female. The female passed away last year < i was unsure of tbe age but older for sure. They had been living togethee for about 8 years. She never would let my boy mate with her bc she had mated before she came to him. So thats the only tension between them. Since i had to do shared parenting my mom would czre for them while i was at my dads and she had found her teeth clenched to thd cage and she had passed. They would snuggle every day. I didnt know what i was doing and im not very good on money. But i play with him and let him out every day i can now. He trusts me and that took years so i dont want to give him away because i know he is safe here. I feel horroble he is alone now. I put a big blanket in his cagw he snuggles when he sleeps now.
Get another chinchilla it helps...(but be ready to make another commitment) and don't get one just because you read this comment.... And no I'm not saying the new one would be a "replacement" it would just help by giving the other a pal to comfort him. This is just an idea to think about... I'm not saying go out and just spend all your money on another one
haha its okay, i'm not going to buy another, only because there's the whole introduction thing, meaning getting two massive setups to start with, then that one may out live ruby, and then the whole thing will start again :') i have to say Ruby is doing really nicely on her own, but thanks for the suggestion :)
I know this is an old vid but... My chinchilla was about 10 months old when we got her and at night my hole family of 5 let out the Chinchin and have fun
Yes true as long as she gets attention she won't be put under stress either people think they are rodents so what if they die but at the end of the day they are animals :)
My chinchilla is sick she has parasites she seems to be doing better and it’s only her second day after getting treatment :D but the vet said she cannot leave her cage so to make sure she is still doing better I am watching this video
Sorry for your loss. It's amazing how animals can grieve just like people do but some seem to think they're mindless creatures who don't care.
thanks :) yeah anyone who thinks that need to do some serious research. I watch a documentary called 'the elephant who loved to much', basically it was a baby elephant who's mother died when she was a few weeks old, a lady then raised her, but left her in the care of her friend for a month, as she had to go somewhere, the baby elephant thought she'd lost a second mother, and she basically died of a broken heart, she stopped eating, drinking, she'd cry.. its so sad.

you lost your chin
LMAO
Poor little thing. I know chinchillas are very sensitive.

Thanks @Emily, yeah it really bugs me when i have no clue, but i guess i have to move on and not brood over it :/
give them a few days or a week and get them a friend. its crucial for a social animal like them. it doesn't have to be the same breed it can be any other good friendly animal.

Treats help allot, believe me. and I don't mean a ton, but when loving on them you give them one or two
Don't get another friend for your pet right away. Let them go through the grieving process and when they start acting like themselves again then you can consider a new friend for them.

Will this work for humans?
Hell yeah, sand baths are comfy as fuck.
Well a dust bath would be a lot more comfortable lol, didn't know they could use sand too but it makes sense.
killmeplz nice fetish
A Bird Lover yes we recommend you give them a cuddle toy and stroke them a lot too. Also try to feed them human biscuits instead of meals so they can eat when they like. And third be sure to show them the dead body... it really helps.

not even half way threw the video I'm already in tears
Sorry for your loss, hope you and Rosy will be OK. Will you get another chinchilla for Rosy to play with?
thanks, no i think ruby is doing okay at the moment, and reintroducing a new chin will be a whole load of stress, and i'd need to buy another cage, etc.
My Chinchilla isn't eating has much as he was before I got him a new Chinchilla and so far it has been going fantastically as far as that goes. The only problem is that he is not eating normally as before.
...my two chinchillas died together so at least they didn't have to suffer the feeling of loneliness...
Thank you for this video, the cuddly toy is such a good idea, I lost one of my chins yesterday I found this very interesting and helpful.
...I should be doing my homework. Oh well! Chinchillas are so cute!
this was heartbreaking
I feel so sorry for you because your chinchilla died😿
Did you cry? I lost my baby back in 2012. I miss her everyday. I couldn't sleep for 2 weeks because of my grieving process. Chinnies steal your heart and your home lol
My chinchillas cage mate .. just passed .she was 12 years old .. vet visits .. everything couldn’t help the old age she was healthy tho
My chinchilla is 17
I have four chin chilas and one died my sister is only five years old so she was so sad!!!They are triplets

My Chin had to be put down at three and we buried her as soon as we went back to my house. I don’t particularly want to dig up a dead chinchilla, what should I do?
My chinchilla lost his papa :'(
Erzebet Bathory I'm soooooooo sorry I don't want any animal to die
I love your videos and Im pretty sure this will come in handy :)
thanks :)
I love your Channel please keep making videos
Just a note - if you put down your pet, don't put them directly together. the stuff they put them down with will still be on them, and you don't want to risk the other one licking it and getting sick.

NoArtisticLimitation the drugs are injected. it's not likely it would be on them
I need this information. my baby boy Tom passed away and his little brother jerry is now alone... it breaks my heart. I wasn't able to let jerry see Tom. I regret that now, but I can do the rest. thank you
I had two rabbits, Mother and Son. The Mother escaped our garden and got killed by foxes. The Son didn't know what happened and also escaped the garden. He lay where his mother got killed. A few days later we found out he died. Yeah.
Thats depressing.
So sorry about Lola! I have one question. I’m planning on getting a chinchilla. And I’ve heard that it’s recommended for there too be two chinchillas since they get lonely. So if I happened to be In your situation would I need to get another chinchilla for the one that’s left?
tx for the tips mine died 19 february
and she had a sister to the one ho died name was leenu
tx again
The bottom of the cage is not good for the chinchilla. This kind of cage will hurt the chinchilla's feet.
my condolences go out to you
so sorry about lola
R.I.P LoLa
Thing is how do I cope???
I am sooooooo sorry for your loss Leopard Gecko
What about getting a new chinchilla for that one not to be lonely?
I don't think it's a good idea for a grieving chinchilla since she just lost her friend. It would most likely cause fighting so soon but after they are finished grieving or seem a bit more perkier and you are ready (after the loss of a pet) then you can get another.
CrystalShardsLPS The grieving chinchilla would most likely reject the new one, especially since she's grieving. They'd just fight. If you're going to have 2 chinchillas they need to be together since birth, or at least when they're still young. This is just information I've picked up since working at a pet shop.... ;)
I love chinchillas ive had two and both have died with me there hard thing to deal with they are the coolest animals and so sweet
I recently killed my by accident. I usually like it with a. Needle but this time maybe this was too much and it screamed before it died.
She will have to be kept on her own or she could be aggressive to new chinchillas
yeah i have no intention of buying another one.
R.I.P
I'm thinking about actually getting a chinchilla but I was wondering are there any bad genetic diseases I should look out for because I know that's a very big problem with most pet rodents these days...
If you're still thinking about it, no. But pet store chains buy from rodent mills and sometimes sell sick rodents.
I have to chinchillas and I lost one of them I’m crying so hard
Thank you for posting. came to see if we should show our chin his deceased brother. :(
i am so sorry
I got 2 chinchillas at 16 or so. Male and female. The female passed away last year < i was unsure of tbe age but older for sure. They had been living togethee for about 8 years. She never would let my boy mate with her bc she had mated before she came to him. So thats the only tension between them. Since i had to do shared parenting my mom would czre for them while i was at my dads and she had found her teeth clenched to thd cage and she had passed. They would snuggle every day. I didnt know what i was doing and im not very good on money. But i play with him and let him out every day i can now. He trusts me and that took years so i dont want to give him away because i know he is safe here. I feel horroble he is alone now. I put a big blanket in his cagw he snuggles when he sleeps now.
So sorry :( I love your videos
she died on my birthday
Get another chinchilla it helps...(but be ready to make another commitment) and don't get one just because you read this comment.... And no I'm not saying the new one would be a "replacement" it would just help by giving the other a pal to comfort him. This is just an idea to think about... I'm not saying go out and just spend all your money on another one
haha its okay, i'm not going to buy another, only because there's the whole introduction thing, meaning getting two massive setups to start with, then that one may out live ruby, and then the whole thing will start again :') i have to say Ruby is doing really nicely on her own, but thanks for the suggestion :)
oh ok.... i hope to get another chinchila some day.... mine died the day after seeing this video ;( the irony (lol... I guess?)
but great video btw
aww :( so sorry to hear that. how old was your chin? thanks :)

Thank you for your help my chinchilla has died tonight this has helped a lot thwnk you!! :( :(

R.I.P Lola hope it's not too gutting and I hope ruby does well. Why don't you find her a soul mate :) :)
thanks, and nah I think that whole process with be a bit stressful, anyway, she always has peewee :')
Yes true as long as she gets attention she won't be put under stress either people think they are rodents so what if they die but at the end of the day they are animals :)
I guess rodents, like reptiles, kind of get a bad name, but they're all so awesome :')

Thanks for all of that great information
last tip let the damn animal live in nature not ur home ....
My chinchilla is sick she has parasites she seems to be doing better and it’s only her second day after getting treatment :D but the vet said she cannot leave her cage so to make sure she is still doing better I am watching this video
They're adorable, but please people don't keep them as pets! They are a critically endangered species :(
Sun God Ra the chinchillas in the pet trade have been bred in captivity
Sun God Ra the ones you can buy are captive bred
my friend put a sock with her mouse after the other one died and the mouse would cuddle the sock ;(
ugh, a sock... thats harsh
