Q & A / Re: Introducing New Chinchillas
« on: October 07, 2015, 01:10:27 PM »
Thank you for your replies. I got Chico about 7 months ago from a pet store. He was 8 months old when I got him. The new chinchilla Charlie i got from a family where he was the only chin and hasn't been around others from what I've been told. Charlie is 3 years old and shows no signs of illness. He is eating and drinking and taking treats. I usually give them raisins or oats, nothing unhealthy. Chico diet has consisted of fresh pellets and hay everyday with a few treats. We have no other pets or kids, it's never really loud in the house. I keep them in my living room and it's dark and quiet during the day when we're at work. I have a large (about 5' tall cage with many levels) that Chico is in and Charlie is in a smaller (I've been told it was a rat cage, with only 2 levels) that he came to me in, and I have the cages next to each other for introductions.
