Has anyone seen this video? :(

Poor little Julius. Nothing like slapping your chinchilla for trying to eat your rice crispies...and then giving them a piece anyways.

That poor chin has no clue whats going on.... i feel really bad for him...

 

[Isabella Whateva]

God I know. If you look at the comments sections LOTS of people are outraged about it. It really makes me angry. These people have tons of videos of their chin running around un-chinsafe rooms. I can't believe the way she grabs him, and then lets him eat a rice krispie?!

Sad face

 

[Brittany_Lynn]

Yeah...I'm personally a fan of "fingolfinx"s comment on page 2. The second comment from the top when I looked.
I'd like to strangle that woman by her big tails.

 

[AZChins]

Poor baby. Geez.. That seemed like such a sweet chinchilla. Chins will eat anything you put in front of them for the most part, it wasn't his fault.

 

[naturegirl240]

ughh it bugs me that people think they are just like dogs or cats and think they respond to punishments. Chins like to test everything they will nibble alot of things which makes it important to let them run around in places they can't reach that kind of stuff... Poor Julius

I agree with all above comments but the worst part was that was not just a Rice Krispie the chinchilla was nibbling on and was eventually given a piece of, that was a Rice Krispie marhsmallow treat. That Rice Krispie that the chinchilla was given was a piece of Rice Krispie treat that has marshmallow and butter on it.

In one of the other videos, she fed Julius a bunch of craisins too. I can just imagine what else he gets to nibble on.

i commented on it, chinchimney. haha i was slightly rude but it needed to be said!

 

[LittleTrinkets]

Poor little guy! He must be so confused, first he is hit and then receives a krispie. I can't imagine what his owners were thinking.

 

[proudmom25]

Here is the other video...in which they shine a light in his face during the day (he should be sleeping) and then feed him craisins. Julius comes on at 5 mins into the video.

I so wanna take him home. He is such a sweetie.

[bpayne1217]

Oh my god... I freaked out when I saw this. If I ever hit Maddie she's kill me! Not only did she grab him like she was trying to strangle him but then she SMACKED him and feeds him that crap that even my baby cousin isn't allowed to eat because there's too much sugar...and then to top it off she basically drops him...poor little guy...

 

[Parkerspetchins]

Can I PLEASE have the 8.5 minutes of my life back that I just spent listening to that self-absorbed youtube-monger? Ugh...

 

[ruoc]

I couldn't even bring myself to watch the second video, she treats the chin like it's some kind of stuffed animal. How terrifying must it be for him to be grabbed by the ribs and tossed around like a bean bag. Does she have another video where she's swinging him by his tail? Whose the animal here? I take that back, animals would never treat each other like that. AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[CJR]

Sigh. People make me not like them.

It is ok to catch a chin by the base of its tail though, right?

 

[ruoc]

I believe it's okay to hold them by the base of the tail, not sure about catching them that way though. I just meant that I wouldn't be surprised to see them do something like that. I really don't like people sometimes.

Yes.

 

[Isabella Whateva]

Yeah its fine. Just make sure you don't slip and catch the rest of the tail or it'll break off.
I wish I could grab my chin by the base of her tail... She gets very angry at me. Haha

 

[Spoof]

Doesn't look like he is hit to me. She looks like she put her hand up to keep him from flipping over. Definitely one of the healthier ones I've seen videos of.

 

[jordanln97]

That was horrible! She doesn't know much about chins, obviously. I never punish Rocco, I just find a way to quickly distract him when he doessomething he's not supposed to.
