This is amazing. Chinchilla Twilight especially - pieces of art. Police Box and painted walls with Winnie The Pooh. Wondering what paint do they use. Thank you

Yes, 60% matches to what my males throw away. In general females are conservative with hay. They go through a lot less of hey. I think it's down to general activity. Males are on testosterone and have more appetite. Thank you

This looks like a proper reinforcement. I think something like that would help. Thanks Amethyst

Hi All, I use TicTac Wheels made in UK however the fixing bracket and the cage vibrates too much to my liking. Have you come across any way of reinforcing the bracket to the cage?\ Thanks

Hi All, Do you have any ideas for DIY wooden toys I could make for them? Best

Hi All, What is the % of timothy hay waste you get from chinchillas. I have noticed that males are quite wasteful. I order timothy hay from HayBox.club https://haybox.club/collections/frontpage/products/timothy-hay I go for Blend but they also have Coarse Cut...

Yes, it is the young female who nips the bottles. I ordered the glass bottles.

Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have a problem with chins making holes in the plastic water bottles. They were on some frenzy because I lost 7 bottles in a month while it was OK before. I reckon when the ball gets stuck then chins tend to nip the edge of the bottle making a hole. Would you...

Check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor LOL They literally called this way an electric motor. So whoever came up with this electric motor had or seen a squirrel or chinchilla in action (he saw a chinchilla but didn't know what is it called). These engines are as good as...

so this proves that not chins but people are weird by altering the time. Time change always affects me and it's one of these disruptions I don't like. Chins have other advantages they don't buy anything apart from music they hear in the radio and TV, they also don't care about bacteria and viruses.

thanks for coming back. Now we know that someone has attempted it and that these little Pokémons require a proper setup. Do you have any pictures of that? Harnessing chinchilla power is like dealing with s serious power source. Chins are explosive. They want to accelerate from 0 to their max...

I didn't do anything they just work it out. It took them maybe an hour. Maybe it's because it was more than one chinchilla. It could also be due to the age. Maybe chins who never ran on a wheel in their teenage years care less about novelties. My 2yr old male at times also looks like he is doing...

In my case they still run on a flying saucer but since I move them from cage to cage I think they prefer TicTac wheel (a UK substitute for chin spin). Females are ok with a flying saucer but boys like to run at much higher speed.

I just cannot imagine chinchillas staying in these "protected" enclosures for long. Mine climb 1.6m high enclosure then run away.

I mean my females are conservative. I think in the wild (I think currently there is not a single chinchilla in the wild) females are territorial and less mobile but males have to cover long distances to visit all their concubines. They do ran a lot and because these are not small rodents there...

Indeed. Imagine chins in a casino sitting at slot machines.

Hi, I have not commit to buy the automatic dispensers yet. So far just provided extra big bowl in case they run out in the main ones. I continue to feed them daily. Not sure if I have mentioned this before but in the past I tried a gravitational dispenser but chins are smart enough to pick and...

Thanks for reply. This is what I noticed so far they sleep in all sorts of combinations. They don't always cuddle. I think a house for one chin is OK but you won't see two chins sleeping and cuddling in the same house. I think as you said it's too warm for them. If they sleep in the rocky...

Hi Al, I wanted to know your opinion about chinchilla sleeping. Does it require a house to sleep in it? I see 2 or 3 chinchillas cuddle together when they sleep on the shelf. I was thinking maybe it's too cold for them and they should sleep in a wooden house? I mean the temperature in the room...

Hi All, I hope you are doing well during these peculiar times. I wanted to ask you if you have been successful in pairing two female strangers. I only tried once but taking into account that females are very territorial I think it's impossible or at least detrimental to the health of one of...
