[AnastasiaRuby]

My chinny in litter trained for pee but he will poop everywhere.

[kayce9211]

yes you can litter train them

[WILDKAT4LYF]

2-3 times a week usually.

But, if there skin gets dry and flaky then you should lessen the times you give them a dust bath.

[XshaunixX]

How many times in a week do you have to bathe them?

[Nicecatholicgirl]

[nkozik]

is that the song from ddr?

[FinalFantasyFan300]

aww its so cute :D

[whyuhappy]

what do u use for the bat can u use sand

[llyrivida]

There's special dust. You can't use sand because it'll be too abrasive. The dust is made to act a lot like volcanic ash.

[liger0yager]

Theres special dust? so you have to buy it theres no way for a chinchilla to survive out in the wild? dang must be rough finding a owner. I wonder what they use out there... oh thats right.. SAND

[llyrivida]

Sand will be too rough on them. They survive in the wild by bathing in volcanic ash. The dust is designed to imitate the volcanic ash.

[menage54321]

My family wants a chinchilla and im like only 13. So if someone can help me that'd be great. We are woried because of two things. Someone said it lives up to twenty years old, and that it takes dust baths. When you give it dust baths is dust gonna be all over my room.

[dasgregorian]

I doubt 20 years, but they can live a while. They don't like... they NEED dust baths. Don't ever give them a bath in water, or grab them by the tail! And yes, it can get dust around. Don't put them near a computer, it'll get dust all over in there. They're VERY good for people with allergies. But the ones I had didn't really like to be held... they're not cuddlers from my experience. Chinchillas tend to run about $100 a piece. But they're quiet and cute and VERY soft.

[zieziechan]

They can easily live OVER twenty years. And yes, you can grab them by the base of their tail, nearest their bodies.

[MoldyPie666]

was wondering, how much roughly are chinchillas?

there so cute! ^^

[celluloidxdreams]

I recall a pet store selling them for ~$130. My friend says you can buy them at carnivals for ~$100 (don't take my word for it though).

[MoldyPie666]

kk thanks :)

[GSDx4xLIFE]

well

you can get standard greys for like £30 or ebonys for like 240 £. depends what chinchiila you would like. but the average i would say is around 70 pounds

[chococat830]

From what i know, chinchillas are, on average, $70- $175. but before you buy one, have a background chech on it. make sure that you get along with it and learn about where the chinchilla came from :D

[inferrior]

what's that song called

[TheAmbassador520]

Candy

[ziggyiguana]

I have two chinchillas. My female, Snickers, is a standard and my male, Peanut, is a homo beige. And by homo I don't mean sexual orientation ..

[Skinnenbonesmc]

If we don't buy wild animals as pets the demand for them will decrease. Therefore their value will decrease and the hunters won't catch them and the animals will remain in their natural habitat and be much happier than in a cage in somebody's living room.

[RocketChinchilla]

No hunters go out and catch them. They are all decents of 11 that were hunted down in the 1900's. YOu should go read some history before asuming.

[KMayLi]

I believe you are laboring under a misconception. All chinchillas bought/sold in the US are domesticated and bred in captivity. In fact, our pets are rescues from the fur industry. Wild chinchillas are highly endangered; there are very few of them left in the mountains of South America. No one hunts wild chinchillas to sell to consumers, there is no demand. Please research before you comment.

[Smertis]

if you ll use a 3 litres glass pot than your chinchilla will not mess your room :D

[luckstergal]

It's the Chinchilla bathtime song!! 8D

[RobbieCook]

I've never had a chinchilla before, and I didn't know they did that. Why do they roll in dust?

[KMayLi]

The Andes mountains are the original habitat of their ancestors. It's very cold and arid there, so their fur is incredibly soft and dense...in order to keep it clean, they roll in volcanic ash in the wild. :)

[GalaxySoldier]

@KMayLi So, in order to get that ash, you just go to the nearest VOLCANO and throw some stuff in the lava to make it dust..... I think..

[zieziechan]

It's how they bathe. They roll in the dust, and that keeps their fur healthy and soft.

[zieziechan]

[dasgregorian]

It's not really "dust." They prefer volcanic ash... which is actually really cheap at any pet store. Important thing though: NEVER give them a bath in water. It'll make their hair fall out. Ash-baths only.

[Soniclover4ever]

plus water will give em an infection

[Serafer]

*squeals* Too adorable! Lol. I love watching chinchillas taking their bath! Roll,forest,roll! Hehe.

Once I get my own place, I'm planning to either get a White Mosaic or a Royal Persian Angora if it's foundable around my place. Can't wait!

[cvisions]

I love watching Chins in the dust bath! Cute

[hobo876]

im supposed to get one for christmas...i can't think of a name.

[kadetx]

lol @ candy.

[millward467]

spin spin lol

[bloodcicle]

This makes me smile. My chin passed away a couple of years ago. I loved watching him bathe. :)

[ghostgurl14]

Aw! How cute! I'm gonna get one soon! I'm not sure what color though.I want a Silver Strain or a Silver. I'kll name her Chihirou. If it's a boy, Chihiro.

[MistyWaterWoman]

She's VERY pretty! Thanks for sharing!

[KMayLi]

Thank you very much! She may be a spaz, but she's a lovable spaz! ;)

[MistyWaterWoman]

I posted up some of my chin videos too! I have a silver mosaic (which I think Mei Lu must be) and a standard grey. You should check out my two idiots!

[KMayLi]

I just saw all four videos. They're adorable! I really loved the bit with the camera case! :)

[MistyWaterWoman]

Thanks! We LOVE our girls!
