Ok. So again, I should just continue to sit near them and talk to them, offer them food and treats from my hand, give the occasional scratch, and generally let them smell me? I will leave them inside the cage unless I have to clean it, then I will put them in a smaller cage until I'm finished...

Thank you Thanks Chub Chub, what would you recommend I do to get Scooby more accustomed to me? Have I been doing the right thing with sitting and talking near the cage, feeding tiny pieces of (healthy) treats when I approach the cage, and putting my hand in the cage and letting them eat...

Thanks liewwan, but how exactly do I show him I love him? Just continue to do the normal, everyday activities and ignore him when he bites me? This is the problem, I don't know how to show him I love him without being attacked. Thank you everyone, and if you have time, can you read my other...

Oh ok, good thing I only gave them a little bit. Zorby is six and Scooby is five. I brought them home on the third. The cage is in my room, so I'm talking to them throughout the day when I'm here, I have the cage next to my desk so I'm always near them. So I should just open the cage door and...

Thanks everyone After my Chins get a little more settled in I'll take some photos - they are standard grey but Scooby is darker than Zorb. In the future I'd love to get a Wilson White, they are adorable with their dark ears!

Thanks! I guess I was a little over-excited to have them here, so I rushed them. It was when the previous owner mentioned the yelling at him to make him stop that I signed up here to ask, because that sounded completely wrong to me. I've had sugar gliders, and I know if I did that to them...

Hello, I'm new to the community, so, hello! I recently adopted two male Chins, one of whom was purchased from a breeder and raised from babyhood (his name is Zorbus), and as such is quite nice and sociable and lets me scratch him and hold him. The other was rescued from a neglectful situation...

I joined this lovely board because I just adopted two male Chinchillas, and I have questions about them... My name is Erika and I live in Colorado. I grew up living with a huge menagerie of pets due to my mother being a veterinarian, including ferrets, guinea pigs, hedgies, birds of many...
