great, thank you so much for the advice. I read online that you need to see which flights would allow it and look into the conditions as well, which I will definetely do before I decide anything. I have until August to decide and figure it all out, so I will see. Thank you again.

Health / cutting chinchilla nails

« on: May 14, 2014, 03:22:53 PM »

It seems to me like my chinchilla's nails have grown recently. She has been scratching me a lot more when I hold her. I am not sure exactly how to cut chinchilla nails or if I should cut them. Is it normal for their nails to grow? Should I take her to a vet to get them cut? Or should I just let her nails stay the length they are? Please give me some suggestions on this

Hey guys, so I have a question about chinchillas being able to travel. I just recently got a chinchilla. I've had her for 2 months now, but she's about 6-7 months old and she's my baby. I love her to death. I currently live in Massachusetts, and I have to make some big changes in my life. One of those changes is figuring out which college to transfer to. I applied to college in Croatia, Europe, and have been seriously considering it, but there is no way I can leave my chinchilla behind. I love her too much and I know they can live a long time so it would be too devastating for me to leave her, especially after the bond we've created. I read online that chinchillas can technically travel by plane, but I'm scared that it'd be too much air pressure for her, and god knows what'd happen. Any thoughts on chinchillas being able to travel overseas? I mean this is not a definite answer for me yet, and a lot depends on this. If she can't make it with me, that will have to be the unfortunate truth, but I need an expert to tell me, someone who knows more about the topic. Any opinions are welcome!!
