General Chat / Re: about my chinchila female

« on: February 25, 2011, 11:58:13 AM »

If your female does not want the male back in she can and will kill him. You may need to keep them separate. And frankly you should not be breeding you cage is clearly not baby safe. Babies don't just disapear it is likely it got out and died a horrible death because you didn't find it.

The female may never let him back. He wants back cause he wants to breed her not because they were in "love" chinchillas are not little people in furry skin they do not feel the range of emotions people do. She wants to be alone and will not hesitate to kill him

I'm not trying to breed anybody, they always got along. I thought maybe she wanted company. I am learning that was wrong. rabbits are not like this, i need to study up more on chinchillas. so i am going back to the library for a brush up.
and thanks.

ps. my one chinchilla baby disappeared, but the second one died of another reason. its not what you said it was.

I need some help. ok where do I start. recently some time ago my female chinchilla had babies. one turn up missing in a week and now recently the other one just died.

im still new to this,thinking the female chinchilla is lonely now. that it is safe to put the male chinchilla back in.
found out thats a mistake she wanted to kill him. help me understand whats going on.

its confusing she always got along with him before, now she picks a fight.
i see its to soon, when is the best time to get them back together.
and will she let him back in the home they have been in for a long time.

hate >:(i wont use that awful word,god would not like it. but dislike is ok. it upsets me when people have any animal and they dont take care of them. if you cant afford a vet then you dont need a pet. thats my thought on that. as for the chinchilla,love goes a long way hun,keep up the good work. god will reward you for that.

It is a known fact thats CATS can sense changes in their owner. So, Im sure chins have adopted some of that sense, considering they are loving.

[/b][/color]

so when do they become loving, is it after they stop running around the room making noises or before that,lol
i know it takes time but mine still wants to bite me

Here's contact information to inform them of anyone's experiances with this that might have harmed their beloved chins. Please make this toll free call.

Ware Manufacturing:
Hay Ball  item #00713
Toll Free # 1 800 295 CAGE

I've  called...they seemed rather nice...she wasn't aware of anyone having issues with this product. But planned on checking into it further...I also told her that I went to post my incident on the forum. Where I seen another person had their chin actually stuck in the same product. And was told to contact the manufacturer. My comment was...my chin could have strangled in the darn product had he not got the thing loose from the cage itself.

The person was concerned for the chin...asked how he was...he seems fine I stated...just was scared and hungry and attempting to eat from his pellets he couldn't reach with the cage ball over his head. Luckily it's wire that gives and I was able to get it off his head without harming him. But...it's tossed under his cage at the moment. I refuse to use it again.

Considering buying a bird suet cage holder and lock it with a small dog clasp from a leash. To hold their hay...I need something in there to hold it...But nothing that will put my fellas in danger.

have you considered a hay feeder from dr foster smith
they hang on the inside of your cage and are known to be safer

from what I have been reading, chasing your chinchilla is a no no. it scares them, they hate that. as for getting him to be a more handled pet like a dog or cat.  it can be done. I have been reading about it.
