That almonds are toxic for chinchillas and degus is a myth ... in germany you have a lot of people, who are feeding there chinchillas and degus with almonds and all this chinchillas and degus are healthy ...

A few people in germany had feeded there chinchillas with pellets, then there chinchillas had become ill ... so they changed the food to dry and fresh herbs, flowers, vegetables, fruits, nuts and almonds ... and now there chins become much healthier then ever before.

[carozanimo]

so, you're lucky

[queenoblivia]

I have two chinchillas and have done a LOT of reading about them to make sure that I take care of them properly. I have read many, many sad stories about what happens when you feed chinchillas nuts, even organic ones. I believe that you're a good person and that you love your chinchilla but please look this up and see what I mean. It could save your chin a lot of pain.

Also, as has been said before, your chin should never go so long without a bath as to look this oily. It stresses them out.

[carozanimo]

almond are toxic for chinchilla and degus !

[jeffgooloolie]

@carozanimo : My chinchilla has been eating almonds daily for 8 years

[jeffgooloolie]

My chinchilla has been eating almonds for about 8 years now. Too many people think they know whats good for a chinchilla when they dont. Oh yeah She also eats fresh strawberries. Shes perfectly healthy.

[BooBooandDee]

@jeffgooloolie We always look forward to blackberry season because our Gracie LOVES blackberries! We have a patch out back and along with those she loves blueberries (we have a bush) and every so often a nibble of the pears we have growing...she gets one blackberry in the morning and one at night...and if everyone noticed I said we look forward to the season, meaning that she's been alive and well eating the fresh fruits we grow in the yard year in and year out!

[salsakaesedip]

Oh my good.. if i see this, i´m scared... the chinchillas should not eat nuts! its to fat!... and it needs a dust bath quickly!!!... i cant see this..

[cpfanrox]

[NancyLovesChinchilla]

[plottotakethemdown]

[AmySaysRawr]

It wasn't me it was my friends who were on my computer. I dont care about the stupid chinchillas or whether or not they should eat nuts!!!

[AmySaysRawr]

[AnastasiaRuby]

He looks like my chinchilla! Except mine is not scruffy.

[FoltZVids1]

"short work"? It took your chinchilla 60 seconds to eat a bit of a nut! I could eat the whole chinchilla in less than 60 seconds! Come on.

[Phoxinator]

Sarcasm nubcake ;P

[GuineaPro3]

lolz i laughed for ever

[kizzyizzle64]

nuts have high fat content...u will shorten his lifespan that way...its always cute.... until they die.

[bubbachicken1995]

i pay 150 to 200 for my chin i got a white chin 2 years ago i named her gizmo and i am getting a new one soon right now the won i am getting from a breeder is 4 months and 4 days old i cant wait to see her she is black but idk wht to name her

[Pem0r]

ew greasy chin.

[ihavenowebkinz]

wTF did u like bathe the poor thing? or are you putting it in the dust bath to much. never bathe the chinchilla.wow... you know nothing about chinchilla's ur basicly abusing it, i could call animal control on you and "mrsmozza" stop begging. ok? and a chinchilla cant be in a dust bath more than 15 mins O_o

[Attikah]

to me chinchillas look better not bathed like this one, it makes them look "scruffy" i like the look , but dont get me wrong dust baths are important i make sure my bubz gets his dust

[monkeystar2307]

Hope your not bathing the poor thing in water.

It seeps into their skin and they retain it

[monkeystar2307]

Also you need to brush them during priming (shedding) around every 8 moths. Just hold them up by their tail (painless to them) and brush backwards, not to hard and not to light, probably find a better tutorial somewhere.

p.s. we are saying this for your chinchilla's happiness

[averageche]

DOs & DON'Ts

Hold it strongly by the base of its tail with one hand while supporting the weight of the chinchilla with the other hand. If you hold the tip of the tail, it will come off as the animal struggles to break free. Imagine a lizard or newt, you'll know what I am talking about.

[nicolbie]

yeah I got both of mine for 50$. and I agree with some of these people, poor guy needs a bath!

[aliceskatergirl]

he is greasy needs a sand bath otherwise they go insane and start rolling around on the floor but really cute !! =]

[dresch58]

seavseabsean ur allow to give them nuts if there over 4 months old

[mrstemperley]

This little chinnie really needs a sand bath, that's why it's fur looks so damp

[ninjaevan1]

i paid 500$ 4 my chins

[seavseabsean]

ur not supposed to give chinchillas any kind of nut for there high fat content

which could end in bloating

which could cause death

[hinata34fans]

the chinchilla looks like it is wet. but i guess that's just how u take care of it. luv ur chinnie! he/she is cute!

[ilovegaia101]

Chinchila's are very expensive in Alaska where I live.A chinchila up here cost 100.00 dollors but I've been doing alot of math since im going to be getting one and all together for the chinchila and everything that it will need will cost about 313.00 so ya there expensive

[DuckyHuge]

100 dollars isnt expensive for a chinchilla its the original price.

[imurlittlebutterfly]

what are good treats for chinchillas ?

instead of like raisins, and im talkin bout treats you can find in your house ? like fruits or sometin ?

[lalaballin]

fruits are really bad for them..they like non sugary cheereos but only one a day

[rcarter227]

chins like any dried fruit, and fresh blueberies for sure. small doses though

[pinoypawnie]

are chinchilla expensive to take care of?

[durrhhhitskate]

nope. i have 2 and they are so adorable. but no not at all. you just have to take care of them right.

[whyuhappy]

thats cool i have a chinchilla

[chrisnkazza]

why is it every chinchilla video i have watched on here ppl are bitching ffs this isnt a chinchilla advise centre if ppl want advise they'll go to a chinchilla forum or buy a book. maybe this chin has been handled for a while and now looks a bit greasy there's no need for everyone to be having a go. The chin looks healthy and happy and they obviously know about dust baths as they have another video of a chin having a bath.

[Nillsner]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but this chin needs a dust bath. I'm suprised no one has said anything yet.

[EinhornsAMan]

That chinchilla needs a dust bad right away. and nuts arnt they greatest things to give chins.

[mrsmozza]

plz plz plz give him/her a dustbath asap

chinchillas need a bath everyday its not hard work just put the bath in the cage for 30min everyday plz

[KillKyleWeiss]

Maybe I'm just being a devil's advocate, but some chinchillas just look really greasy after you hold them just a little. I know it's all fun, anonymous and popular to be an "internet expert," from a small video clip, but...

...oh yeah, and so I can be a 'Tuber expert too, true about the almonds. No bueno.

KW

[maryamaz]

You chin needs a dust bath and a healthier treat - try a papaya tablet, nibble ring, or rolled oats.

[xCalvaryx]

I would recommend giving your chin a dust bath... and you might also want to try craisins instead of almonds.

[MoonlitEden]

Poor little guy. He needs a dust bath really, really badly. Also nuts are horrible for them. :( Please learn how to correctly take care of your pet.

[Zerocreature]

MORE. BATHS. BITCH. Your chinchilla can get sick letting it get some nasty skin problems letting it get that oily!

[CinntiSurf]

Woah! It need a bath! It looks like a gopher lol! I don't think almonds are the best for them either :(

[von1trice]

OMG THAT IS SOOOO CUTE!!!

[sacraluna]

Than Xin really need a dust bath......... please take care of him/her

[SuperMoonwalker1997]

@sacraluna why he needs a dust bath , do he look dirty?

[585788]

THEY ___LOVE___ RAISINS i had to give mine away though :'( apparently my mom(lie) had allergies(lie) (cries) I LOVEED THEM SOO MUCH

[Beansdy]

He is absolutely adorable... could use a dust bath though. Try giving him at least 3 or 4 times a week.

[alli15243]

u should hold him/her with 2 hands. also, i love(and he loves) when i give my chinchilla pomagranits

[TheBirdLady9]

What a cute chinnie! ^_^

I would say that she needs a dust bath,though.

A good healthy treat for chins is organic rosehips. ;)

[nikki1619]

no nuts!!! poor chin!!! and comb him and give him a nice dust bath!! look at his fur!

[Billyfrommeow]

chinchillas cannot digest nuts dont give her any more she can back up and die plz dont

[MCRrocks235]

thank u

[MCRrocks235]

so will they be ok if u give them an almond?

i have one and im worried wat u can give them and wat u cant if u know some stuf plz let me know! thanks

[YumeNasaki]

Almonds are not a good treat for chins.. no nuts should be given at all. The best kinds of safe treats are old fashioned rolled oats(not the quick-cook kind) unsweetened/un-frosted shredded wheat, and dried rosehips. a great place full of information on chins, as well as a big classifieds section where people sell chin safe stuff is Chins-n-QuillsDOTcom

[darkjoel77]

dust bath needed

lol

[queenforever]

omg how cute but give her a sand bath

[13owlets]

Whiskers!

[ccmattyjayde]

Very cute, definately needs a biiig dust bath though. Try not to let him get like that often, and give him a bath quite regularly.

Also, like it says in the title, TREAT, can't those idiots read!?!? Its not like you are giving him a big friggen bucket of almonds. A couple here and there occasionally are fine.

[shortbutpointless]

My chin really likes dried bananas, we shake the container so that he can hear the noise and give him the treat ( only in moderation or else they get sick!) he goes nuts when we make the " treat noise"

[Rachel4Rent]

wow, his fur looks awful! he really needs a dust bath =(

[niggerpuppet]

Give him a sand bath!

[kmrspyder]

Raisins are a better treat to give them

[Temari0Is0Cool]

i haven't heard that almonds are good for them. do you ever feed him raisins?

[photogirl72]

Actually, raisins are not good for chins. They can get one a week and that is about it. There is to much sugar in a raisin and they can get diabetes from having to much sugar. The almond isn't a great treat either though. Try rosehips, they love them.

[Temari0Is0Cool]

i know raisins aren't the best eaither but they love them. I have one chinchilla that doesn't like me and a raisin every now and then is the only thing she will take from my hand

[photogirl72]

And, that is a very good excuse to use them then. Keep trying and good luck.

[missmonzomatic]

I have never heard of this animal before. A chin chilla? What country do they come from? I have two pet rats...

[klinsman55]

Andes in South america

[Pittsburghfan0621]

Chinchillas come from the mountain tops in South America. They are VERY VERY friendly creatures.

[Chip9886]

An almond here and there isn't a problem for their digestive system. Some of my closest friends who happen to be chinchilla breeders (not a farmer becuse they are all slaughter happy assholes) say that tap water is one of the biggest killers in chinchillas because of the chlorine content. I would give the chin a raisin becore an almond, but raisins can mess up thier excretory system as well. Great post and hope to see more soon.

[Pittsburghfan0621]

please e-mail me with more info on how tap water can kill a chinchilla. i have one and want him tolive a full healthy life. Also, do you have and other suggestions on what to give him to drink instead of tap water?

[zieziechan]

Why in god's name are you feeding that chin an almond? Give the poor thing a bath and start learning on what to feed and not feed a chinchilla.

[ApollosPlace]

Sweet pea is a sweetie but yup needs a bath in a big way.

[hansen456852]

It seriously lookes dirty, but It's SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!

[equineholly]

ahh he looks like a otter

[soph992]

aww so cute

[marppu]

hmm, doesn't look so good. cute? yes, but needs a GOOD dustbath and healthier food.

[CaptainPengu]

Oh man, give him a dust bath dude! He looks sincerely pooped. And you should give him something healthier.

[readytorun]

lmao... adorable! i want one now :)

[themaltesebippy]

Very cute. Looks like he needs a dust bath soon.

[brigurl88]

Too adorable

[Dovebar314]

LOL i have twoo pet rats:D

[OlciaCopiague]

OMG ur chinchilla is so cute! mine looks like urs :)

[MistyWaterWoman]

Who could resist that face!! By the way, nuts are really high in fat, you should treat with organic shredded wheat or rose hips!

[Becky15349]

That is SO cute!!!

[Jessika423]

Needs a dust bath...but so cute! (Try apple pieces)

[zieziechan]

Fresh apple? You realize chins can't have fresh fruit and veggies, right?

[klinsman55]

yes its an organic raw almond =)

[zieziechan]

Doesn't matter.  Nuts in general as well as fresh veggies should never be given to chins.

[Jessika423]

Yes, they can, but only in moderation. Look up the wonder of chins site. They can help you out. There are plenty of things that chins can eat fresh but you have to watch the suger content. (exotic vet)

[zieziechan]

Yeah. They can eat it, but that doesn't make it healthy for them, and it can be potentially deadly. Domesticated cinchillas are NOT MEANT to eat fresh veggies.

[viny2tube]

it wants more =]
