Repairing chinchillas
« on: July 11, 2018, 07:22:46 PM »
Hey guys
So tonight I’ve had to separate my chinchillas. They have been on and off chasing kaking and going up on their hind legs and didn’t want to risk leaving them unattended through the night. They are both in smaller cages with everything they need.
I’ve heard you can put them back together after a (cooling off period)
My question ms are - how long should the cooling off period be?
When do you reintroduced them during playtime at night or during the day and do they go right back on the same cage after playtime?
Thanks in advance for any help y’all can give!

Personally I'd just keep them separate. I have separated mine.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

You are strongly advised not to put them back together at any time once this behaviour has been observed. Clearly, they are indicating that they are not compatible and if you did try to reintroduce them, injury or death could very easily ensue.
