i had a chinchilla, his name was Jake, i loved the little guy but like the guy said they have a VERY specific diet and the LOVE to chew on things. Which is a bad combo. So I let Jake out one night and let him romp around and do his thing and he went under the couch and found a twisty tie from a some kind of packaging and chewed all of the plastic off of it without me knowing. i came home the next night and Jake was dead. that was a pretty ty day. not to mention they like every 5 sec lol

after doing that for a few days, put the treat in your palm and let him come to it, dont ram it infront of him XD then after a few more days, put on your arm, then further u till hes crawling on you basically. This is how i got my super skiddish black velvet to cozy up to me XD
As a note if you dont know, peanuts or like a raisin are ok once in awhile as a treat, but not every day or even every week.
Luck

Well, lots of chins dont like getting picked up or petted and such, SOME do but most dont. Dont try to pick your chin up right off the bat, let him get used to his new environemnt first then, take a small ammount of treet, some sugarless shredded shredded wheat or a cherio works well, maybe even a peanut or just even a shell(non salted please ) and give it to him through the bars of his cage. After doing that a few times (over the course of a few days)

Lotsa people dont seem to get that chins are just like people in the sense that they all have different personalities and likes and dislikes. MY black velvet girl was so skiddish and go go go where my super beige boy was totally relaxed and cuddley XD

O_o my chinchilla knew his name and came when called… Your idea isnt foolish DotXhacker, but its hard to acomplish, you have to really screen the chinchillas you look at for personality, dont just buy the first cutie you see. only one of my 5 chin’s would qualify for what you want. Some are natrually more skiddish. also they are more delicate than cats, you would still want to put them in there cage when you arnt watching them as they can get into wires or trouble otherwise.

That would be foolish. Chinchillas are very complicated pets. They are a rodent and they don’t cuddle or come when called. Among a myriad of other things that could go wrong.
They are great pets though. I love mine.

If I got a chinchilla, could I treat it like a cat. In that it does not need to be in a cage and potty train it to use a litter box. Is this possible or foolish?

I would very much love to have a chinchilla before 2010 so I was wondering if u could help. i have a dog and 2 birds would they do any harm. My dog is very quiet when i was 9 he was afraid of my hamster. my birds are kinda chirpy but they are parakeetsmy parents do not want one at all but i think with alittle research and compassion they will have to give in at least by october dont ya think I was wondering if you know any places where I can purchase one near long island new york or close.
