  • @holloh9 ok..

    

  • @jglaser333 they do have raisins in there food and she is just 3 years old but the other one is not hyper at all and they never really get treat food but i can try taking out the raisins out of their food and see if she stops being so hyper thanks for de advice :)

  • @holloh9 interesting.,..mine get mad if they are is blown on

    Chinchillas especially young ones are really , or can really be hyper

    If you think its completely over the top then try adding lavender oil (edible kind) to the water occasionally, and make sure your chinchillas is not eating SUGAR

    cut out all raisins etc, no treat food like Charlie Chinchilla etc

    Most of the time you just have to wait

    I have even severely abused chinchillas with plenty of love come around in a year or two

  • @jglaser333 i do all of that except for music she gets scared of all noises when she is out of the cage she only relaxes when i softly blow in her face

  • @holloh9 what does she get scared of... make sure the lights arent flickering, or light-dark over and over, play soft music, talk softly , even baby talk

    dont move to fast... let her get to trust your hands. My female chinchilla is like yours..shes bouncy ...she takes off when she hears certain sounds... chalk it up to being young and energetic.

  • @jglaser333 i dont think thats the case here because she gets scared as hell by almost every sound and then starts running against everything even in her cage and you can really see she is scared then :\

  • @holloh9 thats called "wall surfing" and is an expression of happiness. A chinchilla will bounce of walls, popcorn, smile, wink, and jump in the air as high as it can to show its joy.

    Its really a beautiful thing and they dont hurt themselves, they know what they're doing.

  • @jglaser333 wow thanks thats actually some good advice i'll definatly try that i have them for almost over 2 years now and only my grey chinchilla (tiki) isnt that scared anymore but my beige one is scared for litterally everything and then starts running against the wall blindly and i am worried it might get him killed one day do you have any advice for that?

  • @holloh9 great... it can take a very long time. Chinchillas are prey animals ...that means they are hunted by almost all other animals. They have been hunted, skinned alive and made into coats etc by humans,,,they have every instinct to stay away from us. Please be patient!! Take your chinnies in a small area (like the bathroom let them come to you, get to know you. They will warm up. Do this every day...it can take a year or more. Its worth it.Generally they dont like to be held or pet

  • i also named my chinnchilla tiki unfortanatly both my chinchilla's dont like to be held or pat
