Title: Repairing chinchillas
Post by: Rachael29 on July 11, 2018, 07:22:46 PM: Hey guys
So tonight Iâ€™ve had to separate my chinchillas. They have been on and off chasing kaking and going up on their hind legs and didnâ€™t want to risk leaving them unattended through the night. They are both in smaller cages with everything they need.
Iâ€™ve heard you can put them back together after a (cooling off period)
My question ms are - how long should the cooling off period be?
When do you reintroduced them during playtime at night or during the day and do they go right back on the same cage after playtime?
Thanks in advance for any help yâ€™all can give!
