I have 6 boys.

4 in one cage together and 2 in another cage together.

The 4 are Fluff (white mosaic), Milk Dud (brown velvet), Ratatouillie (standard), and Stitch (standard, violet carrier). All 4 are 10-12 months.

The 2 are Casper (homo tan or beige sapphire carrier) and Smokey (standard sapphire carrier). They are both 5-6 months.

I like their unique behavior and the fact that you never know what is coming next. Some of them have really neat personalities. When I open the cage door, sometimes Casper gets so excited that he pop-corns out of the cage.

I have one boy, snickerdoodle. He teaches me that every day is a new beginning.
I love the adoration I get from my fluffy baby. I love when he takes baths and when he popcorns (which happens a lot!) I love him and would do anything for him

I'm new to the board and I think this is a great post to jump in on...


I have 1 chinchilla currently. Her name is Miss Belle. I'm not sure, but I think she's a Black Velvet. I'm new to owning a chin. I got her from my sister who adopted her from someone else. She's about 4 1/2 years old. She's a very active chin and is becoming more and more social with myself and my boyfriend since bringing her home and keeping her in a common area where we spend all our time. She even interacts with my two dogs who weren't too sure about her to start. (safely from inside her cage)

I have always been a rodent lover (had a couple hamsters who had a few litters when I was a kid), and have enjoyed having small birds as well. I've been researching chinchilla care, best options for cages, their little quirks and demands, etc for the past 5-6 months. I'm still learning about mistakes my sister made and things I've had to change as well as mistakes I've made and habits to change. I can't wait to learn more and possibly add another chin to my home.

Welcome to the forum!!  Your chinchilla is so cute!  Does she has a white belly?  From the picture it looks like she has a dark belly which would make her an Ebony.  I looking forward to hearing more about your chinchilla.

Thank you!! I'm happy to be here! Her belly is nice and dark, so she's an Ebony for sure. She's a spunky one, but super sweet at the same time. Very vocal and doesn't like us touching her back at all, but when she lets us hold her she really enjoys a rub down and behind her ears and jaw rubbed. She's such a goofy thing. She absolutely loves running around the house and treats of all kinds (safe ones). She bounces around her cage like she's flying (we're trying to figure out a larger cage for her so she can do this more). Talks to us from time to time, and her best friend seems to be a 45 lb lab mix (boyfriends parent's dog). LOL!
