Broken Hearted Chinchilla and owners

[Jenn]

I only suggested the rabbit idea because I had previously researched and seems as if it works for everyone else.. I was just trying to help. Didnt know i would be looked as a bad person because I offered an idea. I did mention to keep and eye on them and to be present when they are together.

You are not viewed as a bad person, it was only a bad idea that needed to be corrected as soon as possible so that others know that rabbits and chins can not coexist together, for several reasons already mentioned. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad information floating around the internet, and it is important to know what is good vs bad info. Your intentions were good, but the info was bad.

Because he is morning and had a big change, as long as he is not eating the shirt i would put the new fleece with his shirt. Then after a week remove the shirt. That way the new object is familiar before he looses his comfort blanket. Hope you have better luck in the future.

Ps my girl has a super sweet tooth so i felt bad when i stopped her fruit, but she snaps up a wheatie just as fast. ^_^

I'd take it out now. What if because he's adjusting to being alone he starts chewing it and gets an impaction and dies within a week? It shouldn't be in there in first place for the reasons I mentioned regarding impaction.
