I also put hay inside and on top of their wooden house and try to add variety, mixing 5 different hay sacks. The hay on top vanishes. Next day I throw whats left away because of of the dirt.

I kinda sorted it out. No need to grab them, I just gently move my hands to direct them to their cage and they eventually get in. If one of them enters on his own, I close the door and he climbs on the top ramp where their food bowl is. It is from heavy glass so they cant push it down. When...

I just let them roam free around the living room, having covered any cables they could bite or holes they could crawl into. I dont care cuddling or picking them, as long as they are happy and have exercise. Problem is because they are two, it is very rare for them to enter their cage both at...

They are 10 months old but I only got them few weeks ago and they are still adapting .Also I am at the stage of constantly arranging their cage, waiting for new ramps. So they are still shy but they grew accustomed to me since I am a quiet guy and never try to touch them except to put them in...

Yesterday I let them roam free in the hall while I cleaned their cage since they were rusty being shut inside and were in the mood to explore. I had to chase them after that though. I grabbed the first one as I had him cornered . Though whenever I see resistance on their part during the ground...

Now that you mention it, when I tried to grab the chinchilla, I had lifted the couch vertically in order for them not to slip under and also because there were holes in the sides of the couch where they could hide. One was squeezed between the couch and the wall and he tried to climb the wall...

Took them to the vet and she checked teeth and heart rate. She did nit weight them because they were still too stressed. I asked as many questions and I could remember and she told me to wait at least one month before letting them leave the cage, to get used to their surroundings. Also she...

Another question I was not planning on letting the chins out of the cage yet by forcing them. I just let the door open so if they wanted to they could explore outside themselves. They smelled the cage door and extended their head outside but did not jump out. Yesterday I tried to remove the...

Fortunately it was a misunderstanding. I called again to verify and it turned out that the way I pronounced chinchillas over the phone, sounded like "little dogs" in Greek, so he heard wrong.

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but apparently there is a cartoon with chinchillas, which is a Japanese animated series of the 70s, even though they used wrong sfx

In Greece Desk staff was a guy and I only talked to him. Dont know if he had also vet knowledge or was for appointments. Though he told me to wait 1-2 minutes and at that time he could have talked to the vet. I clearly stated they were chinchillas. Vet is a woman. I'll call again to confirm...

I'll let you know once it is done and what vaccines they were administered. Probably a requirement in order to get a registered medical card and it varies by country regulations.

Thanks. Made an appointment to the vet next week. They had only Friday free . The doctor asked me whether they had a medical card but apparently they have not being vaccinated in the petshop, neither do they have a card. One reason they sold them to me both for 120 euros totall, without...

Thank you for the replies! I had them for 3 days, still very early. I will also get a small scale to check their weight once in a while. Instead of hay holder ,I use the left wooden box on picture 2. I'll see what I can do about the bottom grating. I'll remove the wheel to open more space...

Got two male chinchillas. They told me they are about 10 months old. Got also a cage, one of the cheaper models and set the cage this way. I'll take them to a specialist veterinarian next week for a first checkup and to ask for more advice. The woman that recommended her, told me that she told...
