Hi, I just came back to this platform after a while. They’re both doing great, thanks for asking. And they’re used to each other, everytime we leave one out of the cage - they go to the other chin for kisses 🥰

Same here! Occasionally, she uses our heads to reach the door handle :D

Thanks! I know. That is why we don’t let them outside in the same time. And when we do, it is in a small hallway in my apartment (between all closed doors) where we can separate them immediately if we notice that my male chin “jumps” onto her. We are very careful about that as we would not...

It’s male. When the vet told us for our first chin that it is male, six months later we brought another male, so that they can be friends. I was wondering how can I make them bond, since they were “two males”. They didn’t get along in the beginning. And three months after that I learned that...

Thank you! I have anyways decided to take her to the vet tomorrow, because, as you said, I cannot know the state of her back teeth. Hope it is something simple.

Also, i noticed today she takes one pellet, gives it one bite and then drops it. And then takes another and so on. She also makes crumbles when she eats….

Hi, I’ve had my chin for almost a year now. She is 1 year and 3 month old. I noticed recently she often puts a paw at her mouth when she’s eating (even when she’s not eating) as if something bothers her there. I checked her teeth: orange and they meet in the middle as they should. There are...

Thank you all! It is a female and we named her Mimi. 🌷

Chillin’. Drinking coffee, enjoying the whole apartment to themselves. 😂 Just kidding. They probably sleep & eat. I have two chins and on the photo is my girl, Mimi.

Hi, Meet my two chinchillas: Mimi & Chilli. Up until recently we thought Mimi was a male chinchilla until I discovered it is a girl.🎀 That explains why she really loves cuddles and is more calm unlike Chilli who is.. well.. a reall Chilli 🌶😂 But he also loves cuddles, mostly in the morning...

Hi, i’ve just got a new chinchilla. He/she’s about 10 months old. I am not sure of the gender. Can someone take a look at the photo and tell me? Thanks!

So cute! 😍 Welcome to the forum, greetings to Choncho from my two chins from Montenegro. They’re called Miko & Chilli. Miko is 9 months and Chilli 4, pretty much babies🥰

Hi! Thanks for asking! Not any progress. :( The younger one would like to play but the older one is acting territorial, so when they get close they stand on legs as to fight. We separated their cages even more and will have to wait for a loooot of time i guess to try to meet them again. It’s...

Thank you. You had a point here and I was also thinking the same. I really wish that one day they bond, we’re having a lot of interaction with him on daily basis but I really felt like he should have a “chin-friend”, other than us. It might make him more happy. So, we’ll do our best to bond...

Thank you, this helps a lot! Will certaily follow the advice on quarantine and especially on making them meet each other again, the neutral territory is a good place to start with. About the size difference, I have to say my older chin is noticeably bigger than the new one. I am ready to go...

Yes, I am also unsure of their age difference, it’s 5 months in between them, so it’s really not that much but still... This is why I wanted to see if anyone else had the experience of getting a new chin and introducing it to the older one.

Thank you. A lot. I made two mistakes: 1) did not quarantine the new chin, decided to do it as of today since I didn’t know that 2) introduced them the same day i got a new chin. The cage is enough for the two of them, it is split in 2 parts so that they can see each other but not touch each...

Hi everyone, I have a male chinchilla (he is 8 months old) and today I bought another male (he is 3 months). First time they met it didn’t go well. My older chinchilla was jumping on him, making small bites in the fur and ear and they were fighting. :( I would appreciate any advice on how to...

Thank you! Are you using some other hay in that case? 😁 My chinchi is eating it just fine, I’m happy that he’s enjoying it.

Thanks so much! I was worried about the color, will check the smell immediately!☺️
