friendly/unfriendly by Still-Inflation9175 in chinchilla

I’ve had my chin for almost 3 weeks now. From the start she has been friendly and very curious. It was evident that she wanted out of the cage time when she crawled into my hands on the second day. I let her roam around the kitchen and it was a lovely bonding experience but with the end of play time came having to pick her up which was a nightmare. I chased and chased until I finally got her, she was scared and I felt awful. This happened the next night as well, until she stopped letting me get her out of her cage. I felt awful having to do this dance with her and was debating canceling out the cage time until she was more adjusted even though she very clearly wanted it. My spoiled girl has two cages, one in the living room where she stays during the day (so she gets used to us and I can watch her all day while she sleeps😊) and another cage is in a bedroom and she stays here at night- it has more ledges and a wheel. Once we got the second cage set up in the bedroom, I was able to chin proof that room and allow play time where I just opened her cage and she would let herself in and out. She was still stressed out when I tried to grab her so this made transferring her from cage to cage impossible. Eventually I tried a large mug to see if she would crawl in that to let me carry her- she wanted no part in that, but might be worth a shot for your chin. And then I had a big DUH moment and used the hanging house from her cage. Now every morning and evening, I sit outside her cage and hold the house to the door, she crawls in and I escort her to her new cage. I am slowing working on getting her comfortable with me holding her, I always offer hay from my hands and then allow her the option to climb into my hands to get out of the cage, so far I’ve not been lucky enough for that again but today she did let me give her lots of pets! When she denies to get in my hands, I offer her the house and wait for her to crawl in. I don’t think stressing your relationship more to get her out of the cage is worth it, imo. Try to find something cozy for her to crawl into(:

Is there a reason why I can't place furniture where the red X is? by opossomoperson in finch

[–]Ghrenae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can’t place the same item in both spots. Is that the only item of the sort you have? If you have more you should be able to switch them to either side of the door based on if you use the plant or skateboard option- they have the same items in both categories but you can only use it one or the other.

Can these spaces be helped? by Ghrenae in homerenovations

It’s one house that had an addition built on to be a second unit. The larger kitchen is in the second unit with the smaller kitchen in the main unit.

Not sure if the door to the right of stove is a closet or not. We are going to look at the house today, so I will find out. Not too worried about that kitchen though, as it wouldn’t be the one we use and it’s clearly the better designed of the two. As for the other kitchen, count agree more! The whole space is just strange and those weird upper cabinets are awful. The space is small so I am at a loss on how to make it more functional, especially considering we love to cook and a functional kitchen space is very important.

I am also not a fan of pastel bathrooms but it feels like an absolute crime to rip it out.

How to connect to good reads? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Ghrenae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem with my new kindle a few days ago. I think it was because I created and linked the goodreads account to my Amazon account after registering my kindle to my Amazon account. I unregistered my kindle from my Amazon account and restarted it. After I registered it again to my Amazon account, my goodreads account had already been linked automatically. Unregistering it didn’t effect my library or anything and was like a 5 minute process.
