Q & A / Re: I think I have an unhappy Chinchilla!!

« on: January 18, 2013, 09:12:20 AM »

So far my chinchilla's only obsession in the bathroom is jumping on the side of the bathtub and then taking a flying leap at me lol I watch him very close....he likes setting on my tablet and getting behind his ears rubbed....I did remove the trash can last night so he wouldn't jump in it...Im just glad i had it completley empty (sack and all) when he decided to jump in lol

Last night I left him in the bathroom by his self for a few minutes and I heard a thud so I go running back in there and he's just hanging out in the trash can but when I got onto him he high tailed it out of there it was hilarious!! Then I was sitting on the floor and he just hops up on my shoulder.

Last night was an even better night with my chin! I sat on the bathroom floor and I had my tablet on my lap and he would jump in my lap and sit on my tablet until I would either scratch under his chin or run behind his ears. Then he would run and jump on the side of the tub and sit there until I would look at him and when I would say anything to him he would take a flying leap towards me...So far he is just a big show off and loves attention lol

So I let my chinchilla loose in the bathroom last night and he would start to run then half jump on the wall and bathtub and rickashay off and repeat the process..I can honestly say it was the funniest thing I've seen! I sat on the floor while he ran around and he would jump up on my lap and sit..he didn't want me to pet him though but I think we are making progress.

I know I may be jumping to conclusions but my chin seems unhappy...He just seems to sit on him wheel or on his wood perch. Is there anything I can do or am I just being a worrier? I hate having unhappy animals

Q & A / Dust Baths

« on: January 10, 2013, 01:41:38 PM »

So I have a question about the Dust Baths...I gave my chinchilla a dust bath on Sunday and again on Tuesday....Am I giving them to close to each other or is this acceptable because if I stay on this same schedule I will need to give him one tonight. I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly Thanks!!

Well I live in a town that has maybe 500 people so I guess I never thought about researching the exotic pet laws...but as of right now my oddest pets have been pot bellied pigs, turtles, coyotes, raccoons and now a chinchilla! And yes I did say raccoons and coyotes lol We got them before their eyes were open and raised them...The coyotes were very protective and very loyal and the raccoons were very mischievous! We bottle fed them until they were old enough to eat solid foods..we never fully caged them so we were within legal limits, they could come and go as they pleased and when they were old enough for breeding they said their final goodbyes so to speak and took off to the woods.
