I love it when they flop down like that, they look so comfortable. They must be a heavy sleeper, because whenever mine do that I could be barefooted on the carpet and they still hear me coming with the camera, so they jump up

General Chat / Re: Another Great Commercial with a Chin in it!

« on: September 25, 2006, 07:24:32 AM »

hehe, very nice. also, has anyone seen the computer commercial with a chin in it? i seen it once and could never find it again, i think it was for an apple computer but it shows a chinchilla running inside the processor fan, and asks, wouldn't you rather have one of these.

General Chat / Re: Chinchilla Antics

« on: September 15, 2006, 10:07:59 AM »

I'm noticed 2 more things since last post, if im wearing denim jeans/shorts and  i let them run around they tend to try to dig on the denim, like they do with their dust. and for the second antic, the habit of going from zero to balistic in 1-2 seconds. Pip was just looking at me all innocent one day when he was out playing, then turned around and tried to run really fast away, he was on a smooth surface though and didn't get any traction, then made a noise I've never heard before and dashed to the other side of the room.

Lastly, does anyones chins (2 or more in same cage) tend not to notice something till the other one has it? say one of the chins could care less about the water bottle after it has been changed, but once the other starts drinking, they decide thats when they want it.

Q & A / Re: Is your chinchilla right-handed or left-handed?

« on: September 15, 2006, 10:00:52 AM »

hmm, both of mine hold their food in the right hand every time ive seen them, but when they want something outside of the cage they reach with their left, not sure if that counts as ambi or not, they tend to use right hand to do the nose wipe thing as well

General Chat / Chinchilla Antics

« on: September 13, 2006, 03:59:42 PM »

i looked around on general chat and didnt see anything similar (maybe i didnt look hard enough?) but id like to know what some of everyones chinchillas do that makes them laugh, could be tricks, playtime habits or just plain cute/funny things they do.

to start off i love when one wall jumps when let out to play (which i assume is pretty common) im not sure if anyone else's do this but mine sometimes just shake their head at random then hop about 5 or 6 feet like a gerbil (with just their back legs) then jump straight up in the air, then stop and look at you. Lastly for the playtime antics i laugh when they jump straight up in the air and land 180 degrees from where they started facing. as for just plain cute things, i like how they sometimes sleep on their sides on the marble with their little feet sprawled out and their tails hanging out of the cage. sorry if that was a little long winded.

General Chat / Re: Bath Time!

« on: August 31, 2006, 03:25:00 PM »

my bath isn't very photo friendly, but ill try to remember to get some pics after work, also, one of my favorite things is when they are done taking their bath, i watch very carefully, and when they do their first hop (or two) it looks like a little cloud of dust poofs out from them (even better when they shake their heads really fast)

General Chat / What Treats are Acceptable?

« on: August 30, 2006, 09:03:05 AM »

I've heard of raisins as the standard treat for chinchillas, and that they like unsweetened shredded wheat, and according to youtube they like unleavened bread Chinchillas and Bread, and was wondering what else do they like? Is any unsweetened cereal good for them? (cheerios, chex, puffed rice?). Also, dad gave my 2 chins half of a frozen grape which they 'shared' half of (more like take a bite, get it stolen by the other, and back again)

General Chat / Toilet Paper Trick Video

Toilet Paper Tube Video I thought this was cute, and it seemed that not only did the chinchilla knew what it was doing, but had been practicing (another video showing its early attempts)

i especially liked the one 'sharing' the bowl of cereal, but the shower part worried me as they looked wet. I would have loved it if the chin in the sugar was rolling around like in a dust bath
