Q & A / Re: vocals

« on: March 29, 2017, 06:05:54 PM »

Its mostly when my 8yr old an I take dove and Mira into the bathroom for playtime, we do this , or try to, every mon-wed-fri for at least an hour and they seem like they are talking to each other maybe? Dove was actually sitting with my daughter , looking at her an making the guinea pig noise (dove is my daughters) and she was so excited to have þat connection, I'm just trying to make sure its a happy one. It definitely was not barking and didn't sound like it was upset. Being a first time chinnie mom, I just want them to be happy! oh ohh, on a happy note, the new corner ledges and funramp ledge came in today! Hopefully installing them this weekend 😊

sooo. Mira has become very vocal.. like a Guinea pig noise type sound and Dove responds in kind, but Mira is more vocal, and for longer periods. its definitely not barking but I just wanna make sure its a "happy" noise yaknow ...

I was just noticing the different color variations between the standard greys and sapphires and thought mine looked more like sapphires, didn't really look at too many beige ones until you said it and they do seem more to favor that

thanks, I ordered them form ebay. about $4 for a set of 2 so I ordered 5 sets to have a few backups plus I'm still waitig for a corner ledge and a play ledge. wish I had the meas to make my own. one day maybe. I did habe to go to lowes and get new screws and wingnuts becayse tese ledges just came with regular screws. that would be a pain in the ass to clean and move every time, wingnuts, not so much.

they're sisters from the same litter, atleast that's what I was told and seem to get along fairly fine.. they're also eating pretty well aswell. I got the ledges Tuesday and installed them tonight. they seem to really like the open space much better an now, no more plastic at all. :-)

Conformation and Quality / standard or sapphires?

So , my daughter and I adopted 2 9mth old females a month ago named Mira and Dove. my husband and I were trying to figure out if they are standard greys or sapphires.. I thing sapphires because they look so much lighter then what the standard greys ive seen look like but these are our first chinchillas so I'm still learning . any tips would also be very helpful.

thanks

Hello, I'm kris and my Daughter and I just adopted 2 9month old chinchillas. My chin is Mira and my daughters is Dove. they are absolutely adorable. we've switched there stuff up a bit, the people we got them from just had a basic set up for their cage with a medium plastic hut, a plastic litter box and a few salt licks and that's about it in their cage... we removed the plastic hut and litter pan... not even gonna try to litter train them. and put in a nice , large wooden hidey hut for them to cuddle in and be their "safe place" ive also put in pine shavings in the litter tray under the floor of the cage and ordered some leaping ledges. we also just got their silent spinner in Sunday and they love it. dove likes to run more then mira . hopefully the ledges get here soon so I can take out the middlewire rack and the rest of the plastic ledges. also got them  a hammock and some hanging wood chews. they absolutely love the hammock. a few extra wooden chews and a loufa chew and also a lava ledge.. I also switched their food up a bit. the previous mommy had them on food that had lots of raisins and such so I fazed it out into the premium oxbo pellets. and some nice Timothy Hay as well... they seem much happier. if anyone has any other ideas or tips for me, it would be much appreciated! thank you all so much!
