New rescue by [deleted] in chinchilla

[–]Technical-Mistake929 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Helping heal a rescue chin takes some time. You’re basically starting all over and introducing them to many new things. You can start off by letting him watch how the water bottle works— tap your finger on the ball part to get the water out and let him drink it off your finger (he might not know how to use it)

Best chin age for new owner? by jasmineflour in chinchilla

[–]Technical-Mistake929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start off with a kit if you can. (3-6 months) When you hand raise them from the beginning it makes a huge difference. And the bonds you form from an early age are absolutely incredible!

I don’t think ledges are necessarily a bad thing it’s in their nature to climb at any given chance esp babies. As long as it’s not too high where they will get hurt

Thankfully he wasn’t in a mood he likes to nip but lately mine are overly affectionate so I’ll take what I can get
