General Chat / Chinchilla Names

« on: November 14, 2007, 06:04:49 PM »

Just wondering what other people named their Chinchillas. I am wanting to name mine when i get them Stewie and Bryan. I don't know if you've seen the show Family Guy but that is where i got the names.


So what are your chinchillas named?

Cages / Cage

« on: November 13, 2007, 04:48:45 PM »

I went to Petco today and was looking for a Chinchilla cage i found one for $85 but it had alot of plastic in it and the box for the cage specificly said CHINCHILLA CAGE. i did not get it because i wanted to make sure it would be safe. i also found at another cage that is a great cage it was tall wide and long and itwas only $80. the only thing was it was a bird cage so the door wasn't big enough!

             Does anyone have any suggestions to make the door bigger without doing much damage to the cage.
                        There probably isn't a way though.

I learned a trick from owning reptiles. it was that you take some soda bottle fill them with water freeze them and put some of the frozen water bottles beside the tank. this is used for tropical reptiles that need a cool tank. do you think this would work for chinnchillas?

i'll try and get two males but if i did accidently get a male and female i`d probably do fine because before the female gets pregnant i'd read about what to do for the mom and babies for hours

This might be a stupid questions but how do you breed chinchillas? I was just wondering if they need any specific care to breed them. How many babies do they have? How often do they have babies? Is there a way to keep them from breeding. I was just wondering because i want to get a pair of chinchillas and if i get a male and female they will probably breed.

Q & A / Chinchilla Wheel

« on: November 12, 2007, 02:28:12 PM »

I have read on a Chinchilla website that Chinchilla wheels are dangerous. I read this on a website that the owners breed chins. and sell them, they said one of their chins. died and a few others got hurt while running on a Chinchilla wheel. Are they dangerous?

I live near the middle of California and i am looking for a Chinchilla breeder near my area because i want to either be able to drive and pick up my Chinchilla or meet the breeder half way.

Here is what i want:

I want a Chinchilla that is 2-3 months old.

I want to get a pair for at the most $150 less is better.

If there is a breeder that lives at the most 3 hours away from Bakersfield, California please respond to this post if you are wanting to sell me some Chinchillas.

I will be wanting to get my Chinchillas in December or January.

Thank You!!

Q & A / Don't have a Chinchilla but want one

« on: November 12, 2007, 01:42:21 PM »

 I have been wanting another animal and have desided on a Chinchilla and if you've read my profile you will Know i am an animal lover. Before i get a Chinchilla i want to know as much about them as i can.

Here are a few questions i have:

I have a couple lizards and a snake in the same room i plan on putting my chinchillas, would this stress out the chin. or would it get used to my three reptiles? My snake is small and dosen't come out alot it's only 2' long but it wil only get 4'-5' long. My lizards are also small they only get 20'' long.  If not i'll put it in another room.

What type of foods do you reccomend?

Do they need regular baths and dust baths or just dust baths?

I plan on getting a huge cage that is about 4'-5' tall how wide and how long should the cage be?

What cage accesseries do you reccomend?

About how much are Mosaic Chin.?

I know i am missing alot of questions so if you can answer as much of these questions as possible and tell me other things i need to know.

Thank you and i appreciate all that you can tell me!!!
