Hi there
I currently own a lovely little female mosaic chinchilla called Lady who is about 6/7 years old. I used to have two chinchillas. She lived with a male Chinchilla called John and they got on very very well. I have not had these chinchillas since birth, i rehomed them as the previous owner could not look after them anymore. Unfortunately a few months ago John passed away. It happened very suddenly and I am still heartbroken. At first Lady was ok with being on her own but I can now see that she is lonely and I would love to get her a friend for company.
I know that introducing older chinchillas to new chinchillas is not the easiest. However I am not a chinchilla expert. I love and care for my chinchillas very well but when it comes to things like this I would appreciate some advice. Lady is a 7 year old female chinchilla, what age and sex of chinchilla would be best for her to live with?
I would really appreciate any advice that can be given as I just want my little chinchilla to be as happy as possible. Please no rude replies because as I have already stated I'm not a chinchilla expert just a loving pet owner
Thank you in advance
