I am 100% with u on the plastic balls! When people put any pet in them they only move because they want to get out and escape. Also, they can barely breath because the holes aren’t big enough.
You should never hold them by the base of the tail because if you are too ruff they will drop their tails and they need their tails to balance. You should just support them under their feet.
I think the chinchilla was getting too hot in her hands/against her and getting restless. Handling is all well and good, but I would never hold my chinchilla for that long.
Every chinchilla is diffrent, all of the have diffrent personalities🐭 I have one to. At the beginning she didn't realy wanna stay if I waned to hold or pet her but now she is wery nice and she realy likes me. She just needed some time to get used to me.
Nice video! I have 5 chinchillas, and although sometimes they can be a bit naughty and messy, in my personal opinion, they are still the softest and cutest pets in the world lol
can you please help me. I'm going to be moving soon and my family has 4 cats and were going to be In a car for a week (not strat) but how do you move with cats and a litter box? and how do you get mites off of rats? please like this so she can see!
If its still a problem, when we traveled about 4 days and 3 nights, we kept out cats from the same litter in a cage (Like a dog cage) In one car, and our dog (Small beagle) in the other, ans kept them in the back seat. If you have a carsick animal, like my dog uses to be, search how to make traveling more comfortable and easy. My hack is to use half of a children's dramamine, this should work with both dogs and cats. Any other minor pets, like fish, if you are moving far away, try to give them away like we did. Chickens and small to medium outdoor animals can be sold, because transport shouldn't be tried without the proper space, like a separate trailer with a cage for them. You can always imporvise on the way there, like we did, by taking the cats out to roam the rest stop so they wont be as stressed cramped in the car for hours, and then the dog afterword. Make sure they are all happy and not stressed.
Derpy Wolf ohhhhh.... I see where u are confused he said throw the poachers and abusers in the lava hole not chins I would never do that to a animal :) so I apologize for saying fuck u. You were just confused with what he was talking about :)
So informative! Thank you...I currently have my son's chinchilla, he brought a exercise ball with him but I don't really use it.I used it once but second time I went to put him in it I could feel his heart racing and immediately I knew he hated it....
Your chinchilla is adorable! I used to have a white chinchilla, so cute. About the baby gates, a chinchilla could easily jump over that. Chinchillas can also fit in the craziest smallest of spaces so be careful if you have your chinchilla out. 💗💗💗
As far as living conditions go, I just got a condo cage for my chinchilla. I placed her at the bottom level and put all her familiar toys in there especially her wheel. Her wheel I placed at the second level of her cage while her shoulder and dust bath are at the bottom with her bedding. Her food and water is at the third level and her play area are where who chew toys are at. I'm glad she's getting used to her new living space after being in an on top of a dresser type cage for so long.
I took my chinchilla to the vet and I found out he has severe pneumonia and he's on baytril can he recover from this? They said it was in him for a very long time and I got him 2 months ago and the ppl never said anything.
Mack&cheese plate I don't know if this is the same with chinchillas but they Trail can put guinea pigs in stasis and kill them so I'd ask your vet for a different medication :)
Hi is your chinchilla ok? I lost my one baby a few months ago from bloat I was completely devastated :( hope all is good and your chin made it through!! One thing I've learned is chins can be sick and not show signs at first and by the time they do it's sometimes too late that's what happened with my Olive :(
@@chrissy3735 Sorry to hear about this. This is often the result of switching pellets too quickly and not mixing ratios over the course of a couple of weeks or so. It's very important to know what pellets the chin is on when you purchase.
@HappyTailsAnimal i’m glad i watched your video. i’ve had my two chinchillas for a year and a half. Didn’t know how to get them accustomed to being held. The info you provided was extremely helpful. i was able to hold one a bit today intermittently. They are friendly when i give them treats but holding them has never been a thing for us. I am thankful for your video 😊
My chinchilla got bullied when she had other chinchillas around. All the websites we go to say to only have one chinchilla if they have gotten bullied before. Is it ok I only have her as my chinchilla?? She will probably get scared if I get a second one
Your Chinchilla can learn to socialize better with other Chinchillas and it actually is recommended, because Chinchillas are generally social creatures, but when you get a second chinchilla make sure it's the same gender so it doesn't mate.
If she really can't be with any other chinchilla you could have her alone BUT chinchilla's already need a lot of attention/playtime when they have a friend so you need to make sure she can play with you minimal 1 hour a day, because and you probably already know this she will get lonely and can die of it.
Also the breeder of my chinchilla's said something about getting chinchilla's together. I think this is only for males but i'm gonna tell you anyways. She calles them "green males" that means that they haven't had any kids. They apparently are easier to put together.
Awesome video with very IMPORTANT topics!!!!!! So happy to see this so many people don't know because they sell all this stuff and even pet stores have NO CLUE about what's safe for chins!!! I have chins and still I learn new stuff about them they are amazing little creatures :)
I’m thinking of getting a chinchilla around Christmas🎄2019😊, I’m doing a ton of research so the chinchilla I get has the best life possible. Btw love your videos, keep up the good work👍!
Hi I was wondering if you could a video on traveling/moving a chinchilla my parents are considered moving across the country and I was wondering if there is anyway or anything I can do to prepare him
This was an awesome video. I am really seriously considering getting a chinchilla, but I just have to convince my parents. I feel I will be able to give it the best life possible I just need my parents to approve. Do chinchillas smell at all? I know some rodents can stink very bad, even if you do clean regularly. Oh and can you order hay and pellets online? The closest place (I believe) is about 40 minutes away which wouldn't be a problem except I can't drive yet. I would want to make sure I can always have food available for him/her. Thanks so much for all your informative videos, they are so helpful! I love your channel.
Thank you especially for the little tips such as the wire feed balls. I have never used it for mine , but have for my bunny.... so i will be so aware of this... better safe than sorry I had a chinchilla that lived to way past his expectancy... I miss him it has been so long since i have had one... and considered getting a buddy again.
this helped alot, im getting a baby chinchilla soon, and maybe a big one too!, i wrote down the stuff you said here, and it will be really helpful when i go out shopping for things to put in the cage, and treats, thank you, you're awsome!
Wish I watched this video before my chinchilla got his head stuck in those hay balls. We had to slowly cut the wires until we could get it off. Poor guy, luckily he was fine
This was so helpful! I wanted to chinchilla for a while now and I know my mom won’t let me get one 🥲but I’m thinking about getting one when I’m a little older!😁
Kathy's Chinchillas No you can give them dried apples but a very small amount (like a tiny treat) dont give it to them everyday but yes they can. They can have a very small piece of grape too (use California grown its much safer) even tried rose works aswell. They can have a few veggies, I have a chinchilla hand book and have a chinchilla I found it at pet smart its very educational about them I think you should check it out plus check your facts before you claim. Thank you for reading:)
Jaila Moore They can have dried apples small amount grapes ragular California grown small amount as well. Dont give it to them daily like a dust bath not everyday:) you can look up on trusted information sites or books to know about this:) hope I helped.
@Wisteria Well they were made for hamsters i think and for my Hamster i have a big one for my hamster because he is pretty small and i have cats that could kill the hamster if he didn't have the ball
Two things I don't understand about Chinchilla care. While I keep them dry and always keep them in a cool, well ventilated basement, I don't understand how their native ancestors might have survived in the Andean Foothills where it gets hot and occasionally rains or where they experience wet snows during winters.
My chinchilla is hooked on alfalfa hay, he's about 17 now and I've been feeding him timothy and grass hay all his life. But for some reason he won't eat any other kind anymore. I still put grass hay in his cage, but unless he's starving he won't touch it. I also give him pellets.
I like it when they make videos like this. It helps when I want to find good things to do to take care of pets. Especially animals like chinchillas and any animals even if I don't have one
I know I'm so late but I just got 2 new chinchilla and tour q life saver I had one when I was like 3 but it chocked on a lego and your saving my life thanks!!!
Hi I’m thinking about buying one and I have a questions. How many days should they stay in the cage before you pick them up Or should I interact with it when I get home what it.
EATING CAREFRESH: so my Chinchilla LOVES his cage as well as his food! He loves his Oxbow pellet food, his assortment of different hays, and he even loves his vitamin c tab, and then of course his weekly treats! He has a four story cage with lots of climbing ledges, a slew of different toys (plus he gets a new toy each week), multiple different styled hideouts that double as chew toys, and he has a wheel which he absolutely loves loves loves! He always has something to keep him busy, and he has proper nutrition, AND he gets out of his cage for a few hours every single day, so he has a healthy adventurous lifestyle! Nothing is wrong with him or his health or his environment or lifestyle! He is a spoiled and happy little boy who I am ridiculously proud of lol! BUT, he would STILL nibble on his carefresh bedding! He loves paper and paper related materials, which is why he enjoyed the carefresh bedding so I switched him to kiln dried pine bedding! But yeah, just wanted to share that Chinchillas may eat carefresh bedding for other reasons than mentioned in this video, such they may like the taste and texture!
So I have a question, what about for dust baths, the dust bath container I'm getting is plastic, I'm not keeping it in the cage 24/7 I would give my chinchillas time with it everyday to roll around and such and then take them out, is that okay?
My chinchilla will not let me hold him, bites his cage, makes a weird sound, eats newspaper, he doesnt like to socialize. I tried everything and I'm not sure if I should take care of him. What should I do?
One time I left and my chinchilla got out while I was gone and chewed up a whole bunch of cords and other stuff. And how the heck is he perfectly fine??? You said they can get blockage from tiny pieces of plastic. Mine must have super powers or something.
I can't let my chinchilla run around because my cat and dog will chase him. My dog will also lick him which is really bad for his fur. I have caught my cat several times with a clump of my chinchillas hair in his mouth. How can I let my chinchilla run without him getting all over my room and getting lost?
I'm scared of myself around chinchillas because I can get very hyper sometimes, and I hear they are very fragile so I worry about them jumping out of my hands when I'm trying to hold them.
my mom’s friend told her that someone she was working with said she had 15 chinchillas in a cage where 4 in it is pushing it. then they said they used to have 60. yes, 60. it’s disgusting, its abuse, and it’s going to be reported. i’m not letting them treat their animals like this. it’s horrible. ive got 2 in a cage like that, and i may get another in a few years. but i will never, and i mean never, put more than 3 in that cage.
Here is a video on treats for chinchillas 😁🐭 enjoy! th-cam.com/video/b0IAcllwT2I/w-d-xo.html
Happy Tails how long do chinchilla live?
Lauren Amiee thank you
I'm really wanting a chinchilla and this really helps me with what to and what not to bye or do with it if I get one
Can they be kept in pairs?
The donts of chinchilla care
① dont restrain him in your arms when he wants to go down
Who else was just Staring at the chinchilla the entire time. Holy heck it’s been a year and DANG
The Mesozosic World ITS CUTER THAN MINE
Me
me me me!!!
The Mesozosic World me 😂😂
Meh!😉
When the chinchilla winked at 1:00 I lost it, it was just so adorable, animals winking is my number one weakness honestly
Annabella Borders my cat winks at me all the time ITS SO CUTE
Rodents (especially chinchillas though) will wink frequently, especially when happy and well-adjusted. It’s kind of like their way of saying hello :)
Omg I thought I was the only one who noticed
it was like he was giving you a hint that he doesn't like heat
we should say *other animals* bc we are animals, not plants, not gods
She says death traps so calmly
I would have been pale by then...she is so calm
I now she needs a lot of help
Does anyone else's chinchilla sharpen all their sticks into tiny spears? Should I be worried?
shmikeyify yeah mine..😂 and after he makes spears he throws them out of his cage 😂
Ok so it's not just mine. I was worried she was either plotting my demise or she was secretly a vampire hunter.
Mine sort of does too
shmikeyify mine likes to throw stuff
Mine does too
I am 100% with u on the plastic balls! When people put any pet in them they only move because they want to get out and escape. Also, they can barely breath because the holes aren’t big enough.
1:01 HE WINKED :D
OneFinePotatoChip chinchillas always do that
OneFinePotatoChip LOL I just put out I comment like that and I scrolled down and saw yours!😄
My friend's chinchilla winked at me once lol
amazin' 🔥
:D
don't get it wet
Or feed it after midnight.
Jacqueline Wright GREMLINSSSS
shmikeyify they eat after midnight tho
iamredguy AJ it's a Gremlins reference😑
iamredguy AJ ok
I wish my chinchilla would let me hold him for as long as yours does without getting restless haha, thanks for a great video, very informative! 👍
Ewan Oxborrow try holding it by the base of the tail it's better then how she was. the chinchilla was biting her for that reason
You should never hold them by the base of the tail because if you are too ruff they will drop their tails and they need their tails to balance. You should just support them under their feet.
If you see carefully her Chinchilla tries to escape all the time but she had to force it stay there for her video.
I think the chinchilla was getting too hot in her hands/against her and getting restless. Handling is all well and good, but I would never hold my chinchilla for that long.
The clips keep ending, probably because she is holding the chinchilla so long
Your chinchilla is beautiful!
No you b*tch
Your chinchilla is so calm??? HOWWW?? mine is crazy hah
I have 2 its hard
but cute
We have 2 that will sit that relaxed. The two others we have are alot crazyer though
Every chinchilla is diffrent, all of the have diffrent personalities🐭
I have one to.
At the beginning she didn't realy wanna stay if I waned to hold or pet her but now she is wery nice and she realy likes me. She just needed some time to get used to me.
yea...mine always go around and run away😂😂
when the chinchilla winked
*Hey ;)*
Nice video! I have 5 chinchillas, and although sometimes they can be a bit naughty and messy, in my personal opinion, they are still the softest and cutest pets in the world lol
Someone gave me an old exercise ball, I strapped it up as a nest in a high corner, never forget to upcycle
can you please help me. I'm going to be moving soon and my family has 4 cats and were going to be In a car for a week (not strat) but how do you move with cats and a litter box? and how do you get mites off of rats? please like this so she can see!
Jordyn White some cat products that get rid of mites might work; probably a shampoo or cream
sam memes thanks I may try that
Jordyn White you'd have to put the cats in carriers unless they let you hold them but I doubted the would for that long
Kitten revolution is great for mites on rats.
If its still a problem, when we traveled about 4 days and 3 nights, we kept out cats from the same litter in a cage (Like a dog cage) In one car, and our dog (Small beagle) in the other, ans kept them in the back seat.

I will create a hole with lava and throw poachers and abusers in there for killing chinchillas for their fur.
Derpy Wolf no fuck u I would do the same thing u go I am a hyena
Yessss
And minks, and ferrets, and foxes....
Derpy Wolf ohhhhh.... I see where u are confused he said throw the poachers and abusers in the lava hole not chins I would never do that to a animal :) so I apologize for saying fuck u. You were just confused with what he was talking about :)
Derpy Wolf and yes I did know they are endangered
Me: Chinchillas can’t take heat
Chinchilla: winks 1:01
Uh oh-
I have chinchilla called rhubarb he's eleven and still going strong he's the greatest little boy ever
That’s a long life for him!!! You must be taking good care of him😊
I let my chins run thru my whole house, but close the bedrooms and try and follow them where they go and stop em from chewing on stuff.
So informative! Thank you...I currently have my son's chinchilla, he brought a exercise ball with him but I don't really use it.I used it once but second time I went to put him in it I could feel his heart racing and immediately I knew he hated it....

I'm on a chinchilla binge right now and I have to say that is the calmest chinchilla handsdown

Its not mean to put a Hamster in the plastic ball because if you let them loose,they could easily get lost.
But I understand for chinchillas.
M o r g a n C o o k i e I disagree. Those plastic balls aren’t safe for any animal
@Wisteria Well they were made for hamsters i think and for my Hamster i have a big one for my hamster because he is pretty small and i have cats that could kill the hamster if he didn't have the ball
OMG! So cute!
Two things I don't understand about Chinchilla care.

I'm by my chinchillas cage and I started playing this and I've never seen something run so fast
Well a chinchilla cost 75 -150 and a sugar glider costs 200-500! GOSH THE PRICE OF IT
I knew that chinchillas and sugar gliders are different but I wanted to know about them both and now I can’t stop watching your videos

Because we just couldn’t take care of them
I hope they’re in a happy home
My chinchilla will not let me hold him, bites his cage, makes a weird sound, eats newspaper, he doesnt like to socialize. I tried everything and I'm not sure if I should take care of him. What should I do?
What size should your chinchilla cage be at the minimum?
The chinchilla winked talking about exercise balls 😩 her chinchilla is so chute!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You basically just saved a chinchillas life. I was going to get a multilayered plastic cage.
Highly recommend Critter Nation.
My chinchillas were sitting in my hoodie pockets napping as i watched this
I am getting to chinchillas in a few days thank you so much this is really helping me out
+Lucia Stoynoff you literally just called me a hater in another comment. But ok
the chinchilla ball, you can put them in while cleaning cage for short period of time. but not more than 10mins.
One time I left and my chinchilla got out while I was gone and chewed up a whole bunch of cords and other stuff. And how the heck is he perfectly fine??? You said they can get blockage from tiny pieces of plastic. Mine must have super powers or something.
The chinchilla winked omg I’m Dead 🥰
Lmao the chinchilla winked at the camera at 1:01
I can't let my chinchilla run around because my cat and dog will chase him. My dog will also lick him which is really bad for his fur. I have caught my cat several times with a clump of my chinchillas hair in his mouth. How can I let my chinchilla run without him getting all over my room and getting lost?
I'm scared of myself around chinchillas because I can get very hyper sometimes, and I hear they are very fragile so I worry about them jumping out of my hands when I'm trying to hold them.
Are those hay balls still as dangerous if you don’t put hat in them? Like they’re just hanging for the chinchilla to push
my mom’s friend told her that someone she was working with said she had 15 chinchillas in a cage where 4 in it is pushing it. then they said they used to have 60. yes, 60. it’s disgusting, its abuse, and it’s going to be reported. i’m not letting them treat their animals like this. it’s horrible. ive got 2 in a cage like that, and i may get another in a few years. but i will never, and i mean never, put more than 3 in that cage.
60 chinnies in a cage? 😟
@@supercharger101 exactly. it’s horrid
