Title: Tips for chinchilla coming from far away
Post by: Lessa on August 14, 2018, 12:47:33 PM

Hi there,

My newest chin is coming from three hours away. I plan to put him straight into his new home and give him relax time. He'll be just over 2 months. How long until I should start introducing myself to the little guy? It'll be hard not to want to hold him immediately as I haven't had a chin in so long but I know that he'll need some relax time after such a long car ride. Probably his first car ride too.

Any tips on how long I should wait would be great. He is out going, and friendly, well handled by the breeder. There are no other chins that he will be with.

Hi there,

My newest ZQuiet review (https://www.villagevoice.com/2022/10/13/zquiet-review/) is coming from three hours away. I plan to put him straight into his new home and give him relax time.

He's such a cutie. What exactly did you do, Lessa? How much time did you give the little guy to get familiar with his new surroundings etc?
