I have two chinchillas who are brothers and have always shared the same cage. They are currently 21 months old, and they have begun fighting regularly. Everything I am finding online suggests separating them until wounds have healed, and then reintroducing them to each other. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do that? Plus, how do I punish the chinchilla who has become violent towards the other?

Ok so summer is here and I can’t have air conditioners in my house. So it is very hot. I have noticed that my chinchilla is not handling it well. He just lays around the cage.

What can I do to keep my chinchilla cool??
I dont have air in my house. The windows are crank outs so we can’t have AC’s and we dont have central air.

I just put a fan next to his cage.

My chinchilla escaped from her caged and is pregnant. She is due anytime now, but I don’t know if now is the time. She is behind my bed and is okay, my male chinchilla has been running around trying to find her, it’s actually quite funny. She keeps making these little squeaky noises like a toy. I think she wants to be away from my male chinchilla and she can not relax.

thinking about getting a chinchilla

are they good pets? for an only child age 13?
i heard they live 15 ish years. tru???

give me any info u know…thanks!

I just got a new chinchilla, what’s the life span of it??

should i get a chinchilla and how big do the cages have to be and how expencive are the cages and cinchillas. what to they need?

What type of toys do chinchillas like to play with? I know cardboard tubes are popular, but what else? Pet stores have a lot to choose from, and I don’t want to waste money on something the chinchilla wouldn’t like. Also, what is a high quality brand of food and hay cubes? Treats too. And bath dust. I’ve never had a chinchilla before, so tell mem anything you can about them!
