Title: Bonding With Your Chinchilla
Post by: LYChinchillas on December 31, 2014, 09:17:56 AM

This week's post is all about: How to Bond with Your Chinchilla! Give it a read, and have a very Happy New Year! :) http://lychinchillas.com/2014/12/31/how-to-bond-with-your-chinchilla/

As long as you:
- Set realistic goals
- Treat chinchillas like people (in that you understand they have personalities, are intelligent, can carry opinions and feel emotions)
- Take your time and stay positive

Then the main takeaway points are:
- Have a good introduction
- Develop a routine, including feeding, dusting, weighing, and cleaning
- Once ready, start including playtime into your weekly routine
- Keep showing your chinchillas love, and they'll come around!

Hope that your bonding continues into 2015! Cheers!
