Saint drinking out of the faucet

[rchodges]

SO PRECIOUS!!!!

[kizzyizzle64]

lovely colors on her :) the noise is from her scraping/cleaning her teeth off...all mine do it too after drinking and sometimes when they get a raisin.... its not a sound of annoyance at all, shes just grooming her teeth :) no worries

[madena3]

@xXskycakeXx Haha, yes, but she's obviously loving it. She is a weirdo.

[stacyson69]

Well u don't mean soaked, but like dampened wash cloth or something

[stacyson69]

Oh and I've seen plenty of things about chinchillas, you can get them wet if they are drastically dirty, too dirty for the dust to get them clean, doesn't kill them....so when I see one die from a little trickle of water I will believe u.

[stacyson69]

Hahah, yeah a small trickle isn't going to get them soaked, and sick. And u can dry them off, the only way it gets them sick, is if u leave them soaked. But I love this video once again she's or he's cute.

[SerriSoo11]

They're not allowed to get wet, that is why they have to bathe in dust. Their fur is too dense and if they get wet they will get sick and die. That was probably the point of that comment...maybe you need to refresh yourself on some facts...? I mean they're just saying it isn't very safe and you chinchilla can in fact get very sick and die.

[madena3]

@SerriSoo11 SHE IS NOT GOING TO DIE, EVEN IF SHE FALLS IN 3 DROPS OF WATER. IT IS CALLED A TOWEL. MOLD WILL NOT GROW IF YOU DRY THEM OFF.

[SerriSoo11]

@madena3 No need for all caps. I'm just saying that all of you people who let them do stuff like that are putting them in danger and risk of becoming ill. That's all. Yeah, its cute and they're cute. But it is a risk to a point.

[madena3]

@SerriSoo11 All the people saying she can get sick and die from a small trickle of water (less than a water bottle can produce) obviously know nothing about chinchillas. I will continue to raise four healthy chinchillas, you go back to your Hanson slashfic and horrible dye jobs.

[stacyson69]

lol right, i have two =), i love them. I had one the same color as this one, but he got sick =( and died. but a good couple months later we got another one, he's the gray, just like the other one i have. They are such cute animals =)

[stacyson69]

she deff can't get ill, they drink out of they're water bottle.....whats the difference between it trickling out of a faucet or they're water bottle....

[madena3]

@stacyson69 I know right?! I wonder if some of these people have even seen a chinchilla.

[pierceh30]

UR THE WORST OWNER IN HISTORY OF A CHINCHILLAS BITCH! HE OR SHE CAN GET ILL!!

[madena3]

@pierceh30 By a trickle of water? lol, ok.

[madena3]

She's definitely not blind, just a weirdo.

[12eb3L]

your chin looks blind

[LostLenore1970]

I think that noise means she's happy. Rats make a similar tooth-grinding sound which is equivalent to purring in cats.

[JollyChins]

my 3 chinchillas love water but they havent died going into it. They dry perfectly and their coant is slick afterward(:

[Gemmerrrr1]

What's that grinding her teeth thing??

[madena3]

@Gemmerrrr1 I really don't know what that was for sure - she's never done it since nor have any of my others. I've heard teeth grinding plenty but not like that! I think she was just freaking out about the new experience. I had moved her water bottle literally one inch but she couldn't find it apparently, and when she went out for playtime she was running from sink to tub inspecting the faucets for water, so it may have had something to do with her being thirsty.

[12eb3L]

@madena3 it's when they get annoyed

[cuppycake1231]

UR NOT SPOSED TO LET THEM DRINK TAP WATER!!!!just saying not to be mean

[madena3]

@cuppycake1231 If they only drink filtered water they can suffer from mineral deficiencies. My city water is clean. Do more research.

[madena3]

Well at least I passed 3rd grade English class...but yeah, you're still totally wrong.

[BABIIFISHBONE]

b careful...they can't get too wet...soooo cute chin

[Blazingdusk]

Your chinchilla is beautiful! I love her coloring, and she has such cute expressions. Mine only has like..two facial expressions, but they're both pretty cute. xD

[Kazeriux]

Oh my, what an angel

[Jangodude411]

Nice vid. I have 2 chinnies and one jumped in the toilet.

[BABIIFISHBONE]

ur spossed to close the toilet lid jangodude411 they can drown...cute chinch little baby how old?

[TheLenism]

So you probably have 1 chin now?

I wish I had it so I could... play...games... with it.

[DizzyHEllfire]

mine fell in the toilet once, before I got them. they love to wake up for food and go back to sleep. and I never let them near water unless its to drink.

[jerney4974]

You have a gorgeous chinnie there! Is she a brown/white cross?

Just be careful the water doesnt drop into her nose- when this happens they can inhale the water and get pneumonia.

Lovely video btw!

[SwirliestShurlly]

Chinchillas make some of the most interesting facial expressions.

She's absolutely adorable =D

[malakaki111]

keep a good eye on her when she doesthat. if she gets her skin wet she can lose hair and get an infection.

Dont let her fall in the sink! lol.

[madena3]

That little water wouldn't cause a fungus. Especially since I'd dry her off immediate if that happened.

[mewecody123]

@madena3 You cant dry off a chinchilla. if she fell in that water. shes dead. do your research before getting a pet -_-

[madena3]

@mewecody123 Are you trolling or just stupid? You can dry off a chinchilla. It's called a towel and a hairdryer on cool setting. How would chinchillas survive in the wild otherwise? There aren't water bottles in the Andes retard.

[mewecody123]

@madena3 for one. i never said she IS going to die. and i've raised chinchillas my whole life. i know what im talking about. and you let your chinchilla go swimming in the sink see what happens when you try to dry it off. its called chinchilla funeral.

[madena3]

@mewecody123 Plenty of chinchillas have fallen in more water than that and been just fine. They aren't allergic to water, lol. As long as you dry them off quickly they are just fine. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[mewecody123]

@madena3 the "facts" your trying to tell me. are based on what?? you're probably like a 12 year old and i dont need to waste my time on you. bye

[mewecody123]

@madena3 I dont know what im talking about? The whole point of the dust bath is so they dont get wet, they cant get wet because they dont dry off! You obviously dont have chinchillas. You should read a book before you start running your mouth. D-bag.

[mewecody123]

@madena3 They survive in the andes by drinking out of puddles and water holes, you are right about that. but in the andes they dont worry about running water. Chinchillas can tell its going to rain before it does. So they hide. And there aren't towels and hairdryers in the andes either idiot.

[madena3]

@mewecody123 If only, in this day and age, we could invent some sort of device that dries hair. Some sort of hair dryer? Or maybe some sort of absorbent material that, when pressed against liquid, would soak up most of the moisture, thus allowing the remaining moisture to evaporate quickly?

[madena3]

@mewecody123 This is actually getting really amazing. Do you seriously not think things can be dried off? In the wild they DO get wet. Then they sit in the sun and take baths when they can. Their hair doesn't EXPLODE when they get wet - it takes days to mold. If you dry them off quickly, they are just fine. The domestic enemy of the chinchilla is not a tiny trickle of tap water - it is the toilet. And yes, I have chinchillas. I did not steal these videos.

[MINKAproductions]

hesa cutie pie ^.^

[koltonkj26]

Funny!Whats the chins name? I dont know if im right or not but is that a sapphire chinchilla? Im getting my own chinchilla in a few days.

[madena3]

Her name is Saint.  I think she's a mosaic? Not totally sure. She's really cute though. They're fun.
