Thank you for your responses. Godofgods - I disagree, I believe almost all animals can be trained and I have seen many videos of chinchillas that have been trained so I know it's possible, just not how to go about it! In regards to youtube I have had a quick look but it seems to be more...

Hello everyone I was just wondering how many of you have trained your chinchillas to do things and how you have done it? My two are litter trained which didn't really take much effort at all and they picked it up very quickly and now I'm thinking about what else I could do. What have...

That's exactly the problem that I've been having, I just can't find the things that I want! The simplychintastic stuff looks great, we'd hopefully have some similar things and lots of combination items such as a ledge with a house built into it (if you can picture that!) I currently have lots...

Hello everyone I am considering making and selling chin toys and cage accessories as I have access to a whole factory and all the tools and wood that I could need. I am based in the UK and was wondering if there are any toys or accessories that people have found hard to get, or have always...

I'm going home for Easter on Friday and realistically there isn't anyone to look after my two chins so I just wanted to know if people think it will be okay to take them with me? It's a three hour journey, and they haven't travelled anywhere in their travel box before. I would be staying at home...

Hello everyone I was just wondering if anyone could suggest some good treats to give my chins, but more importantly, how often should I be giving them? I've been using raisins to help get them used to me and now they will jump straight into my hands and climb all over me. I know that in large...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what this white mark is? I thought it might be my girl in heat, but as they're my first chins, I just wanted to double check as I'd hate for it to be an infection and do nothing! I've also had a quick look at her, sorry for the fact...

Thank you everyone for your answers :) Icemaiden, do you just use one towel and one layer of fleece? I might give that a go, especially as I don't know if they'll chew the fleece or anything so don't want to buy loads! Kokorobosoi, that sounds like a good shout. So far there hasn't really...

I have just got two female chinchillas and I've noticed that they don't really sleep or use a wooden box that I got for them. Instead, they sit on top of it and go to sleep. Is this a perfectly normal thing to do or are they trying to tell me they don't like it? I don't know whether I should be...

Hello, I've just got my first chins (a pair of two females) and after finding shavings EVERYWHERE, I was thinking about changing to a fleece liner? I have a solid bottom cage with multiple levels, but are there any down sides to using fleece? I'm also based in the UK so if anyone has any good...
