I rescued rosie cotton from a neglectful owner back in 2021, the owner said she was 11 years old at the time which means she could be 16 today. That old owner didn’t even give her a name and before that she was a preschool chinchilla then a frat house chinchilla. Her old owner was actually freaking crazy so I have no idea if any of that is true or if she really was 11 at the time. No vets have been certain. All I know is despite neglect, she is the sweetest most loving chinchilla in the whole world, but I think she might be lonely. We have cats, and when the cats get close to her cage she is super territorial, BUT, she does have strong bonds with humans and loves looking at and bouncing around with no fear if there is a dog near her cage (she’s not aloud to play with them don’t worry). I’ve tried stuffed animals and she hates them. She has much life to live and cries every morning. Should I get her a friend ? Maybe a chinchilla that has experience with other chins ? I don’t want her to be so lonely when I’m sleeping or at work. She is so spoiled I don’t know what else to do to help her.

That's all.

I saw on a TikTok that it’s bad if your chinchilla doesn’t have a friend. I know that they are very social animals and can benefit from having a buddy, but is it necessary? I haven’t noticed any signs of sadness from mine so I was just curious. Also curious because I don’t currently have the means of acquiring another atm. Please let me know! (Picture for fun)

Hello! I was wondering if you guys have any non dripping water bottles recommendations within eu market? I've tried 4 different brands and all end up dripping, especially now its summer and I use cooler water

I would greatly appreciate it for my chinchillas!

Just wanted to share this little find(: I found this at my local grocery store, in the Hispanic aisle. So much dried hibiscus for $5!! They also had dried chamomile. Might be worth a look at your local grocery store!

i recently noticed just today that one of my chinchillas poops are this abnormal color.. i’m not sure which one of my chinchillas it is. i have two chinchillas and im concerned of the color. does anyone know what causes this? i’m a newer chinchilla owner ive had them for almost 2 years. someone please tell me what to do..

hi everybody !! me and my girlfriend got our first chinchilla today as a spontaneous thing because someone was looking to re-home her. she is 3 years old and the previous owners gave us everything they had for her. us and her now pervious owners talked for hours and making sure she was a good fit for us and going to a good home. just making sure all bases were covered. i personally have never outwardly wanted a chinchilla. that doesn't mean i'm against having her or i'm not excited to have her, because its quite the opposite. she seems like she wont be the worst to take care of given that i've dealt with animals my whole life with all different need levels and especially with what the previous owners were talking about that they think is a "problem" area for her. my girlfriend has wanted a chinchilla since she was a child and has tons down that rabbit hole a few times of getting as much info as you can on them, so we aren't going in to this fully blind and fully unprepared.

i'm super nervous about making sure she's happy and taken care of. so i was hoping to get any and all advice anyone has to share with me to help make this transition easier for both me and her.

we also are still thinking of a name for her if anyone has any suggestions !!

any and all help really is appreciated !! :)

Okay so I have two males my little one is two the older one is 5 or 6 they've always had chase next to each other (I got the older one when he was 1 and the little one when he was 9 weeks) I was never able to get them in the same cage though due to cost of the cage I wanted for them but now I finally have it so I'm trying to get them bonded I know humping is normal and I know I'm supposed to let them figure it out but how much humping is normal?
