Chins | Chinchilla As Pet

Who has or has had a CHINCHILLA?

Posted by admin On July - 15 - 2010

How would you describe your experiences as a chinchilla owner?

What do you feel are the good things about them and the bad things?

How do you interact with a chinchilla?
Is it true they do not like to be touched or held?

Honestly how would you describe your relationship with this type of pet?

My husband is deploying and has fallen in LOVE with the idea of having a chinchilla to come home to… I’m not opposed to this idea… but I wonder… would we be biting off more than we can chew?

What is the real TRUTH about the pet known as CHINCHILLA!!?

I know most sites I’ve come across lump the personalities of any type of animal into one category or another…

I would like to know how individuals have felt about knowing and spending time with their particular chins.

What kind of wood can I use to build my chinchilla cage?

Posted by admin On July - 11 - 2010

Looking to build a bigger, better cage for my two Chinchillas. Going to possibly use wire mesh for the sides or shelving units. Attaching them with wood and also building wooden shelves. The wood will be exposed and chewable, so I need something that is safe for my Chins to chew. Any ideas for types of woods that are safe, where I can get them, and how much they cost.

Thanks.

Chinchilla as a pet? please help?

Posted by admin On May - 31 - 2010

I was wondering if Chins make good pets? I’ve had guniea pigs all my life and i want to get something new something that has a long life expectancy as wel. But i have heard chins arent as affectionate or cuddly or friendly as guniea pigs? Do they bite a lot? Is it possible with a lot of holding and love they will grow to be affectionate?

Chinchilla Kits Jump, Climb And Fall

Posted by admin On August - 23 - 2009

This is a holding cage, not their regular cage.
Chinchilla kits can climb up, but not down. They will climb to the top of the cage, turn loose and fall to the bottom. Kits need to be in a 15″ or less tall cage with lots of bedding,to prevent injury.
