Q & A / Re: Having Chins at College

« on: February 20, 2007, 07:53:07 PM »

It's not too far, maybe an hour or a little more, but anyway I think that I would probably be able to move the cage from home and then to school, especially since making an investment in two different cages would be such an expense (since I heard that you want to get as nice and big a cage as possible), and also do you think two chins would be a better bet since they would have to travel in the car for an extended period of time?

No, I don't live in a dorm (I'm a junior at Central Michigan), I live in an apartment with 3 other guys, it's almost always quiet and we almost never have loud parties, I think that the chinchilla would be fine with noises and sleeping during the day (since we're almost always at class) but I was most concerned about me moving back and forth, I am in each place for a substantial amount of time but I was just wondering if the moves would make him so stressed that he never felt at home anywhere (since I heard that they don't travel or adapt to new surroundings very well).  Would I need to (for lack of a better term) "break him in" every time I moved?

Q & A / Having Chins at College

« on: February 20, 2007, 10:29:23 AM »

I am a college student and I was just looking at getting a chinchilla.  I'm at school for 9 monthes and then back home for 3.  Will this moving be too hard on the chinchilla or will he be able to adapt to his new surroundings since I am in each place for an extended period of time?
