Awee! I'm glad she's alright in the end!! It's really hard going through times when your chinchilla isn't 110%, but it is - of course - worth all the vet bills, time, and dedication to your chinny in the end! She sounds like she has a wonderful owner:) glad you took the time to make sure all her...

It's hard to say a definite point, but it took me roughly 3 years to get Lucy completely comfortable around me. She would sit on my shoulder, came when her name was called too, and so much more:) She didn't mind to be held, she was always excited when she saw me and would want to come out of...

Yea I think the best solution would be to let your chinchillas settle in to their cage for the first week or so. During so, just sit next to their cage and talk to them, and soon enough they'll become more comfortable with your presence and your voice. Some chins will take longer to come...

Aww sorry to hear that your two chinnies died :( Yea, I am going to go to my pet shelter here, to look for a chinny that needs a home! There have been chinchillas there before, but there was one that just stuck in my mind, he had clumps of fur falling out all over his body.. poor guy. Must've...

Is this something new that she's been doing? Has she been doing it more frequently? It could be that maybe she's just moody, is how I see it. Some chinnies are also more talkative than others, there's a site that has their sounds -- I would check that out! It could help tell you more about how...

I don't know if you've found a chinny already, but my first chinnies were females! And yes, they did spray pee at each other (territorial things.. ), and once at my mom when she invaded her space too much when she was still adjusting to the new environment. However, I was never sprayed or...

Are they coloured? I don't think the dye they would use on the streamers is safe for chinnies.. But if you're looking for safe treats -- apple sticks go a long way!

Just did a google image search... this came up: http://www.johnhopewell.co.uk/default.asp?template=productlist.page.xml&categoryid=8 Don't know if they ship to US, but most companies do!

Flower Town Chinchillas, located in Ontario! For them to ship to me in SK, was about $12 for two sets of 6 medium size natural apple sticks! but shipping price will vary for how much you buy, and the weight of the products, so consider that too

Aww so cute!! What kind of colouring is he?? I noticed he doesn't really have a white tummy!

Yea I understand that every chinny has a different personality:) that's what makes them all so special! Would you recommend one or two chinnies? Because Lucy used to have a sister, ever since they were 6mo old, and it was sometimes good and sometimes bad. They used to fight over the food bowl...

Oh and im also wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to get a 6 month (or younger) pink white chinny? I live in Saskatchewan and am able to travel a little bit out, but not far. If anyone knows any breeders or people that could help me that'd be great!!

So my dear Lucy passed away a few days ago, she died of choke. It was unfortunate, and I'm so sad to not have her around anymore. But I'm considering getting a new chinny, because having Lucy was one of the most wonderful things ever. I'm also afraid, because I know just how long it took me and...
