Chinchillas are very sophisticated animals, so be sure to provide them with all the care in the world which includes a monocle, and top hat.
Thank you for making me look this up.
And a bow tie!
I love her energy and genuine love of the animals
These "What, Where, How" episodes are my favourite to watch. It's informative, trustworthy, and really fun to watch. :D

Hey :_____&;!^/$=^&*£(*_%
I'm surprised you didn't mention plastics. I had a chinchilla when I was younger, and no one had ever told me about the dangers plastics pose to chinchillas. My poor baby chewed a piece of plastic that got stuck in her digestive tract and killed her. It's so important to keep their habitat and their "exploration" area free of all plastic. THEY LOVE TO EXPLORE BY CHEWING AND PLASTIC IS DANGEROUS TO THEM. Chinchilla-proofing the areas they have access to is really imperative to their long-term well-being. A couple other considerations would be no high ledges they can fall from, and no wire running wheels. Also, their habitat should preferably have solid metal or wood platforms (NO PLASTIC) instead of wire or mesh, since their toes and feet can get stuck in the holes and broken as they jump around a lot. If wire mesh platforms are the only type available, try to get it with the holes as small as possible so their feet/legs can't get stuck in them.
I've been wanting another chinchilla for a while now, but I still feel such guilt over what happened with my first. I feel like it was my fault, that I was negligent. Ignorance is no excuse for the loss of a precious life. So, just a little advice for anyone wanting to get a new pet, DO THOROUGH RESEARCH before getting ANY pet. They are a real commitment!
Edit: Sorry, not trying to criticize your video or channel. You guys provide wonderful entertainment and information. I just hope my comment can help any person that might be considering adding a fluffy chinchilla to their family.
I got a couple of chinchillas from some crappy big-name pet store. It was obvious within the first month that they hadn't been correctly socialized with people. One of them is timid but kind - he enjoys getting gentle pets on the face. The other is a big ol' meanie. He likes to jump at me whenever I pet the other and he hates being touched. I've tried for years to get the latter to like me.
yeah. never buy from pet stores period.
Optimistic update: I've been spending an hour with them each day for a while, and Gizmo (the timid chap) now trusts me enough to be held. I'm so proud of him!
Basically there nothen wrong with them, They're not meant to live with humans
Jojo Saylor The chinchillas sold as pets have actually been domesticated for a while. They’re not just exotic animals that are kidnapped from their habitat in the wild. They’ve been selectively bred and are considered domestic animals.
I love how excited she is talking about them, wish I could be so excited about anything.
I can't decide if What, Where, and How or Meet and Greet are my favorite videos, they're both quite enjoyable to watch.
great informative video on chinchillas :) I own 7 Chinchillas and 5 are rescues but here's some advice about the cage your currently housing your chinchilla in :) firstly I'd advise either covering the wire levels with non-pill fleece or removing the levels altogether and add kiln dried white pine levels and secondly Id suggest you make sure all the woods are a 100% safe :) and also a variety of hay should be feed to keep things interesting but only give alfalfa hay to chinchillas under 6 months and I didn't see much of the cage but just make sure that there is no plastic in that cage as I can cause impaction/blockages in the chinchillas sensitive digestive system :)
The article on chinchilla introduction (link in the video description) raises a very good point about vet visits. Aside from how, when one chinchilla goes to the vet while the other stays at home the returning chinchilla will be covered in a foreign scent, it points out how vet visits are generally the time they most *need* the comfort of their companion.
Wow this is great. I'm from Australia and didn't know anything about Chinchillas, never even seen one before. Very excited to learn about an animal I've never really thought about.
Are they not common pets in Australia? I find them in many pet stores.. /asia
+TotallyGlar how interesting, no I haven't seen them here. I think rabbits are more popular. Maybe its just too hot for them given thier temperature sensitivity?
Cat Amblypygid hmm we have mostly hamsters in our pet stores as well. Where I live, temp is about 33 degrees celcius
+TotallyGlar lol I was going to say we have mainly ginea pigs but gave up spelling it and wrote rabbits instead ahah. Not sure what our av temp is but today is forcast for 35, though 33 is a tad hot too!
+TotallyGlar there are a lot of rules about the kinds of pets you can have here in australia. Things like chinchillas, hamsters and hedgehogs aren't allowed.
I used to have chinchillas in my backyard childhood home, I remember I would open my window and just watch them run around and sometimes gave them food.
This was entertaining and interesting, and the way you show care for each animal's individuality and needs helps remind that these apply to any animal.
I love this channel! It really teaches you that you don't get get a pet just because it's cute, or to amuse you, but if you get a pet, how to provide it with a rich and interesting life so that it can thrive. 😀
Truly everything I need to know. A perfectly executed presentation. The presenter's skills at presentation are the highest I've ever seen.
This is so exciting! I was inspired by this channel and other reasons to apply for an internship at a zoo doing educational outreach! I started this week and there are chinchillas!!! I'm going to take what I learned from this video and teach others! Thanks Jessi!!
I often see people keeping only one lonely chilla as a pet. Thank you so much for mentioning that they should be kept with companions - I found that part so much important!
I saw you and Rook on SciShow Talk Show. Ravens are one of my favorite animals. You're doing a great job with these animals, educating, and raising awareness. And, you've got the best t-shirt wardrobe in the world. Every time I watch one of your videos, I start a Google search hoping to buy one for myself. Keep up the good work, Jessie.
This makes me feel so much better I have been watching so many videos to make sure I was taking care of mine correctly and I so like literally every single thing here except the wheel because we think he broke his leg from that so we’re giving it a rest. But thank you so much this was helpful and reassuring.
Loved the video, Jessi! The history is very interesting, also kinda sad. But I'm happy that they finally made a strict law about it tho. I was wondering, would you please make "a day in my life" video? I think it would be so much fun! 😊
hi, my name is Anna. I am M. Ramon's daughter, and I'm 9. l love chinchillas, and l love how you put on a 7:59 long video of them.
This is a fantastic video. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I've had a chinchilla for several years and didn't know all of this.

to make a chinchilla feel right at home you have to pay $1092.42
I have a chinchilla and if you search correctly in internet you can get all they need for 220$
Tbh!!!
Not true
I got two chinchillas and a big cage from kijiji for 200$
I got lots of stuff for them like a little chinchilla house, chew toys, food etc for 200$
So if you spend correctly, you can get two happy chinchillas for 400$
If you’re buying the chinchillas from a breeder, they can cost around 300$ for one chinchilla
We have a very unsocialized chinchilla at the shelter that I'm newly volunteering at. He's so anxious, that he hangs out in his house all day. I'm looking forward to helping to get him a new home, this will definitely help!
+Sherlock-sensei Some of Jessi's suggestions for socializing other animals will certainly help. The common key is patience and take it slow.
I live in Louisiana and used to work in a pet store. One of my regulars was telling me about how when hurricane Katrina hit he lost power so he had to get in his car and hold his chinchilla up to the AC for hours so it wouldn't overheat.
Their heat sensitivity was a common mistake with our customers. So many chinchillas dead from heat stroke...
Amazing video!!
Considering the brevity of your videos, that was quite a good overview of the history. Thanks.
I'm getting a chinchilla and have done many research. Thanks for this video!
You should never put a chinchilla in a cage with a wire mesh cage. No!! Any chinchilla could get bumble foot.
Marshmellow cutieypop It is fine in a wire mesh cage just as long as the bottom is not wired. I have a metal bottom with a fleece on top and my two are fine.
Elizabeth H yes I know. I was referring to the cage in the video. It was all wire mesg
To a similar (yet much older) comment Jessi says:
"Yes wire can cause sores of that's the only flooring available. We offer many places for her to be that's made of solid wood, marble, grass, and paper products. As an individual, Cheerio has a tendency not to clean the area around her bottom (possibly weaned too young?), so having wire actually keeps her cleaner longer and increases the length of time between restrainings to hand clean her. Thanks for your concern though!"
Bumble foot? Even their diseases sound cute
@@drinky_c19 It's anything but. Their foot becomes infected and swollen, causing the chinchilla to chew at it until it bleeds. If it gets serious enough, they can lose their leg
I miss my chinchillas and degus very much. RIP.
I'm glad the chinchilla is protected in the wild.
Nice video.
This is my new favorite channel. Thanks to Hank Green's mention :)
Thank you so much Jessie! I've been waiting for you to do a What, Where, How on Chinchillas before rescuing one so I could be sure I could give it the best possible home! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
+Jackie Pierson that is Awesome that you are going to rescue a chinchilla =) there are so many in rescues because people don't prepare for these little guys. ( my 2nd Chinchilla in my pair is a Rescue. my first one is 6 and my second one is 7. i have had my first one for about 4 years now.) just make sure that you will be able to keep them for the next 15-20 years depending on how old you get yours. and if you ever have any sort of questions or anything there are FB groups dedicated to these animals and a few good sites as well.
+Raven I'd love it if you could recommend some good sites and Facebook groups! It's so hard to find trustworthy information online! A lot of what I was finding was contradictory, which is why I was waiting for Jessie's video!

+Jackie Pierson Lets Love Chinchillas Was the first group i was apart of and i just looked at what everyone was asking. the 2nd group is one i found more recently . Both groups have very knowledgeable people that have worked with these animals for a long time ( Vets,pet owners and Reputable breeders).
My husband had 2 chinchillas when we started dating, Fredrik and Tucker, they lived at my house for a few months, since he moved from his mother's home to his own, and I became incredibly attached. They are amazing creatures to have as companions. Then when we married we bought a $500 custom pine cage and everything was wonderful.. until I accidentally killed Tucker with pet odor carpet sand or whatever (you sprinkle it into the carpet and then it is vacuumed up THUS restoring the carpet of odors and such). Tucker LOVED being at the bottom of the cage and Fredrik loved being at the top of it.
Needless to say I accidentally killed Tucker. It was absolutely horrifying when I found Fredrik nudging his brothers body to wake up. I will never forget it. We had a funeral, a grave and, everything (They really become part of your family).
But anyway, Fredrik being 4 years old and always living with another chin was obviously slipping into depression not having another chin/his brother around so we bought a new one from a breeder after researching.
We expected the absolute worst territorial fight (Since Fredrik is always the dominate one) but Fredrik just ADORED the new chin. I cannot express how amazing this animal is. You don't usually expect this much personality and love from a rodent.. but they really become a family member.
I always say they're tiny dogs, since they just KNOW the sound of the hay bag. haha.
I actually have two male chinchillas. I love them both. I actually would recommend not to give them raisins at all. Rose hips and some other herbs can be used as a healthy alternative. =) and with the wheel it should be at least 14in so they don't end up with back problems in the future. also plastic is not recommend for these little guys since they chew on everything and it is not a good thing if they eat it. and these guys can live 15-20 years =) chinchillas are amazing pets and are fun to have. like all other pets you just need to research and make sure they are the right pet for you. there is quite a large chinchilla community on FB that actually helped me out when I started out with my first chinchilla. =) also thank you so much for making a video on chinchillas. there really needs to be more information on these animals since they are becoming a popular animal to have.
you forgot the most important thing! NEVER EVER GET THEM WET!
why? what will happen you get them wet?
or feed them after midnight
Party Will Never Stop lol they grow fungus on their dense fur witch could lead to a dead chinchilla covered in mold
+ShadowLover9158 oh
Uhh there hideus when there wet but still a bit cute but not fluffy 😥
This is a great video very informative as to why we even have as many as we do in captivity. I am lucky to live at 6,000 feet elevation so me chins stay cool without AC. I still worry about heat in the summer.
What they lack in cuddle time they make up for in personality. Don't forget they are most active at dusk and dawn. I found males to be more outgoing and females are on the shy side.
I took care of a Chin many years ago. Now I have inherited 20. (Our aunt was a breeder and she passed away from cancer. I was the only one willing to help. I am a sucker for an animal in need.) So I am now the chinchilla rescuer. After our aunt passed the chins were neglected untill they asked for my help. Yes I am keeping 2 that I fell in love with.
I love these guys!
Make a video on how to hold them and grab them. Because I went to a pet store and want to buy a chinchilla and the worker and she grabbed him buy the tail. I told her it was dangerous because the tail can break or snap off. I think its is wrong. How will your pet chinchilla trust you if your scare and handle him wrong.
Thanks for informing me more on my future pet,you really helped me with all this information.Instant Sub!
Omg this is awesome cause im actually doing a report on chinchillas in school!
What an adorable little creature 😇😇
thank you for all the info and backstory of chinchillas but i think you forgot one very important thing about their cages: chinchillas can get arthritis easily in their feet from having wire ledges, so they should have a solid ledge and if they do have a wire ledge there should be a marble slab for them to stand on (and to keep cool)
thank you for all the information i didn't had to watch another video because this had so much information already!!
Ohhh Jessie I'm disappointed you have wire mesh flooring for your chinchillas!! :( so many of them get awful bumble foot from that, so should always have solid floors!
Yes wire can cause sores of that's the only flooring available. We offer many places for her to be that's made of solid wood, marble, grass, and paper products. As an individual, Cheerio has a tendency not to clean the area around her bottom (possibly weaned too young?), so having wire actually keeps her cleaner longer and increases the length of time between restrainings to hand clean her. Thanks for your concern though!
+AnimalWonders Montana Okay, thanks for clarifying :)
That's not true, wire floors do not cause bumble foot.

Chinchillas don't stress a lot from handling and you could easily place anti pill fleece on the floor. Also, a plastic wheel... Really?
@zoo holic newspaper is actually perfectly safe for chins (so long as the ink is soy based and they aren't chewing a ton of it-which most dont anyways). Although paper bedding such as CareFresh can be deadly.
Great information. I have thought of getting a Chinchilla one day, they sound like a pet I can work with well to give them good care.
Thank you for this video it help a lot especially because I'm getting a chinchilla today :D
thank you for the video. I have a male chinchilla and I can add that vets for chinchillas are EXPENSIVE! I love how cherish let's you hold him. My Charlie has his his days when he wants to be held and let's me know when he doesn't wants to be bothered
Very well informed and informative. educational. I love it.
as a Rodent Lover, i knew basicly all of the stuff y'all talkin bout, but it was still fun to watch >_>
So much information, great video :-)
Cheerio, what are the best things to climb or jump up on?
"I love wood bird perches! It's so much fun to try and balance on them! But I like the top of my wood hut the best for just hanging out" -Cheerio
+AnimalWonders Montana hee hee - loved this epi, Chinchillas look fascinating! Not legal here in Oz tho!
+AnimalWonders Montana did you rescue Cheerio???
@@animalwondersmontana lol that cracked me up. Good stuff
Great video. I have wondered where they came from but got to busy looking up other animals and there history.
Very informative. Thanks.
This is such a great video !
thank you a lot for making this video. I really wnat a chinchilla for christmas and this video helped me to show my parents that i've done some searching. Also it was very interesting :)
I have subscribed to your channel. You remind me of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Love your enthusiasm!
what, where, how videos are my favorite!
Very interesting video! Thank you
My girlfriend and I got rescued two chinchillas last October, both females. Ones grey and spotted named Freckles the other is white and is named Lowla. They are two of my favourite pets of all time.
As a teenager, I met a friend who had a chinchilla names Cheech! They are the cutest cuddliest cridders!
hey guys , so I got this thing called ( paglia naturale ) is it good for chinchilla ? and if it what I will use it for ?
My cat doesn't like being restrained either. (Or the hamster; the one before would sleep in pockets) You hold her like a baby but only supporting from underneath, also acceptable is slinging her partway over your shoulder, although she's inclined to get her big paws stuck in your shirt; typically she'll kick me if I box her in from the side at all until I set her down, still purring in a low rumble. She's in a very good mood if she lets me hug her. New people have a hard time realizing this and always think she doesn't like them.
It's part of her charm. I never wake up with her sitting on me. Okay, once. She's the most attatched cat I've ever had, believe it or not. If she's not in my closet, or in my chair, or a dresser drawer, or some cranny under a table or behind the door, she's laying on my bed, sometimes purring for no reason, and if she wants to hang she'll- not me, she will, she'll walk away if I tell her where to lay- lay her tail on my arm or her head and paws on my leg. We're both low energy so we're in perfect harmony.
My cat is a purebred Persian, 17, that I rescued; we've been together five years and she's never been happier or healthier.
I thought sea otters had the world's densest fur. Am I wrong? I really enjoy your videos, and have subscribed. Thank you.
I'd love to see a "how,what,where?" On Degus. I use to own two as pets that I rescued while I was in university. They are fascinating little guys. :)
That is the cutest thing I’ve ever saw
ADORABLE I WANT A CHINCHILLA but Im afraid i might not be able to do all of that :(
They r sooo adorable
I love your videos and I think the animals are so cute
Like another commenter here I am from Australia and had never seen a Chinchilla before, well not outside the horrible fur-trade videos. :'( Thanks for sharing this info about such a super-cute animal.
I'm not going to say I'm sad we don't have them here, we have enough trouble with other introduced species and it would like be too hot here for them most of the time.
One question I did have is about their feet... what are their claws like? Not much scratching going on?
Reminds me of my rex guinea pig, very fluffy.
They are somewhat closely related, I wonder how different they are behavior wise.
Think of a cat trapped in the body of a fluffy rat.
Hi!
I am maby getting two chinchillas and i was wondering if its best to have to females or to males in the same cage?
Good video BTW
I love this video I've never felt a chinchilla's fur
Yessssss, finally!
Could you possibly post or snapchat some pictures of Cheerio's cage set up? I'm looking at adopting a pair of my own and was wonder what cages would be best for them
Does anyone know any good chinchilla rescues in NewYork or anything closer like Long Island.
Could you do a video on Degu's?
Could you do a series about how each of your animals came to be in your care?
WHOOO ive beeen waiting for this episode for weeks I HAVE 2!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO HYPE HYPE HYPE
+Coolcow Productions where is dusty?????
+Coolcow Productions er the other one too
+Coolcow Productions Dusty passed away several years ago after months of medical attention to address multiple infections due to improper housing from previous owners :( Ash, passed just recently after 2 years of being treated for improper molar growth resulting in chronic inflammation. It was heartbreaking not being able to help him. :(
well i was thinking of ash but thats really sad btw i have 2 chinchilas and they are amazing
Thank you so much Jesse! I got my two female chinchillas a year ago and have been waiting for this video since. What brand of pellets do you feed Cheerio? Also, how long/often do you let Cheerio play in the dust bath?
+stardust111100 i know you are asking her but i actually also have chinchillas and have had them for almost 4 years. i personally use Oxbow chinchilla food and i keep the dust bath with them for 10-15 min 2X a week =)
Hi! I have a 3 year old chinchilla named Leo, he's very active and loves to run around my room, I've been feeding him rabbit pellets for a while now and he seems to be doing fine, he always had hay available and I give him other treats every once and a while. Should I stop feeding him the rabbit food and give him specified chinchilla pellets or are the pellets just fine? Thanks son much!
Feed chinchilla food. Rabbit pellets do not have the proper nutrient balance, and can lead to two very specific health issues (and many nonspecific ones too)
> The chinchilla will be more likely to become overweight.
> The chinchilla may develop a calcium deficiency and start having seizures and/or be more likely to suffer from broken bones. You really cannot skimp on a chinchilla's diet.
This video was very informative, even though I knew a bit about Chinchillas 😆
P. S.: Greetings from Chile ❤️🇨🇱
todoroki
could you maybe to a video on all your organization for pet supplies or an animal room tour
I enjoyed how many times the word Chinchilla was said during this lol
so providing them a cool metal slab to lay on can the temperatures be higher than 75 degrees?
chloe yuan no, the slab is for them to cool off so they do not overheat. To put it this way, that's effectively saying that by giving a human a fan, we can survive in 110 degree weather
There is a town in Qld called Chinchilla. My uncle was the local cop there in the 70's.
I love your chanel it's so cool
I have 2 chins that I adopted about 6 months ago, they're sisters so keeping them in the same cage isn't an issue but I'm wondering how I should go about handling them. I think all 3 of us are a little nervous about me holding them and I'm not sure how I should go about it. They're fine with coming up to my hand if I put it in their cage and will usually let me pet them (one more easily than the other, she's less scared in general and more dominate).
Also, I've seen apple wood sticks at the pet store marketed at chinchillas and am wondering if it's a safe snack type thing to give them.
+SHINee4bleach the apple wood sticks are safe for chinchillas. ill post up a site about handling chinchillas =)
letslovechinchillas.weebly.com/proper-handling.html
SO CUTE!
I have a question. Since chinchilla respiratory systems are so sensitive, how come dust baths don't irritate them? I am not suggesting not to give them a dust bath, but curious as to how the dust doesn't irritate them.
Thank you for your video it very informative i was wondering what a chinchilla was after watching one taking a dirt bath
Cheerio? How cute!! 💗😄😍
I love animals. 💕🐾 fur babies.
What temperature for chinchilla during summer ?
omg you must show him to Hank!!
Such cuties! Do chinchillas vocalize at all? One of my favorite things about my guinea pigs is their squeaky sounds.
yes, they actually have a "bark" =).
+JessTalks i have two and i've heard three noises. a "bark" like noise, a howl, and a little growl like noise. they're all really weird but i love them.
If you listen very closely you will hear sounds very much like a guinea. But i mean VERY closely. Otherwise, you can probably find videos of chinchillas "barking" much like a seal barks. Barking usually means the chinchilla is threatened or looking for a friend (give them some attention and they will settle down).
There are other noises, slightly different, but pretty close to a guinea's repitoire.
hi there can you tell me if i can keep the 2 types Chinchilla brevicaudata) and Chinchilla lanigera. C. chinchilla together because i have 2 females of different breeds. and what would happen if i put a female breyicaudata with a male lanigera. would they mate. thanks
Yes they can be kept together and if oposite sexes will most likely mate. It would be a crap shoot as to which gene would supercede over the other unless you could calculate their genetic lineage unless you have a detailed pedigree for both animals. For example if your brevicaudata is a Violet/TOV, ebony carrier, and your long tail(lanigera) is dominant standard grey BUT TOV carrier their offspring could be anything from standard grey short tail to ebony or violet long tail and every thing in between. A pedigree would be highly recommended before you EVER consider breeding just to make sure either animals lineage doesn't have any defects or diseases in the birthlines either such as Malo(DEADLY ORAL DISEASE). That's the most important thing with having pedigrees. Back yard breeding is the preferred term for breeding without pedigree or no pedigree suggestion possibly leading to unknown offspring, which is very dangerous and strongly advised against in chinchilla groups all over. Hope this helps. I've been dealing with chinchillas for years, if you have any further questions I'd be more then happy to help.
I gave my pet Chinchilla some lucky charms she swiftly ate them, so I gave her another handful. She was quite visibly wired, I mean she looked like a San Francisco tweeker.
Where can you get timothy hay and ciompacted pellets
Samanthi Worth you can get their food at petsmart. The red bag of oxbow is the best. Mazuri is also a quality pellet. Do not get the kind with other bits in it. You can also get their hay there but better quality can be purchased from independent companies such as small pet select. Please know that chinchillas can live past 20 years so they are a big commitment and not great for children
I have a chinchilla and there lovely and kind creatures
I had a chinchilla a few years ago. He was delightful and I miss him... Let's see if I can watch this without crying.
What The Hell Happened?!?
+Ahmed Tarek They don't live forever... :/
+posthumorously They do live for 20 odd years though. But I am not judging :)
+Becca Macleod My suspicion is that he was oldish when I adopted him or he just got sick. There were no signs. :/ He just collapsed one afternoon.
***** Ah ok, People have said they are very good at hiding illnesses.
thank-you!!!!😘
