  • I want a chinchilla so bad. Also, how could you dislike this video? Its an instructional video, its not ordering you, or judging you for doing something wrong.

  • Not true. Doesn't matter what variation you choose of pairs. Male female, female female. Either way they can start fights out of the blue. Chinchilla's that have lived alone for a couple years can be paired with others as well. There just has to be a pretty long period of time or introduction.

  • Im getting two chinchillas today !!!! :D

  • why dont u get brothers then insted of two differnt males

  • Really? The only warnings I can give people as to putting two chinchillas together is fighting bonding breeding. MalexFemale... you're probably going to get babies depending on age. Babies are difficult to take care of. Bonding is when chinchillas get attached and you're not supposed to seperate them (this is very difficult when one of them dies). Fighting is almost never dangerous to the chinchillas, just each other trying to assert dominance... in 1-5 months, they'll become buddies.

  • I HATE watching this ladies videos, she is so negative and always tell us the worst thing that could happen.. making chinchilla owners paranoid. Chinchillas are amazing pets, any animal can fight with each other out of the blue. And I'm not sure why she always bad mouths breeding. Breeding is so much fun and the babies are great!
