General Chat / Yet another Chinchilla sighting on the web.

« on: January 22, 2010, 02:58:53 PM »

Hello, I haven't been on as much lately, but always think of you guys when I see chinchillas in the media, figured you would get a kick out of a few things.
Not sure if i've Posted it before but been seeing a couple flash animation's that feature chinchillas .
http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/magical+trevor+3/ is a little repeating cartoon with chinchillas, though it kind of gets off track towards the end I don't see chinchillas in this medium often.

The other one was actually found in a flash game, which seems to me even rarer than chinchilla cartoons.
To provide context before this screen you were told
"to become commander of this vast vast army-

on a flash games site called kongregate there was also a chinchilla game where you pick outfits for a pet chinchilla, which i haven't tried.
Figured id share these things, as I'm all for chinchillas becoming a bit more recognized in media .

I second the fact that people don't understand that they are fragile. I would like to say that all of the cases of people mishandling my chinchillas has been "women", while the guys tend to lament their shoes being eaten. All have been warned beforehand you cant just grab em. It is my theory that there is a switch in the brain of people not used to chinchillas that gets shut off with the "cute animal" factor. Or perhaps they overcompensate when they realize its mostly fluff.

heh, what i would find really fun, is a chinchilla desktop program(game?), where the chin would run around on your desktop and chew on your folders while it was running dont suppose they have anything like that? click a button and it drops a raisin or something?

game? i guess its keep away from the human and chew on his stuff when hes not looking if you count that a game, for the most part i just sit in the middle of the floor and watch them and they sometimes use me as a jungle gym or a means to get to higher ground

My chinchillas also love the occasional chin scritch that you describe, but usually only right after they wake up and stretch. Every other time they are more interested in sniffing my hand otherwise. Squeak doesnt care about being pet anywhere other than the top of the head or a scratch around the ears or shoulders.

General Chat / Missing Fur

« on: August 13, 2007, 02:31:24 PM »

while letting my chinchillas in thier bath i noticed that Squeak had a thin patch of fur on his forehead, after a closer look it seems that he is missing a patch of fur and there is skin visible about the size of the tip of my pinky. i was wondering what are some causes of this  and if there is something i should do(they are shedding alot, i assumed because its summer and its slightly warmer inside, about 75-77 in thier room high temperature). i havent heard them fighting since they were 1 month old so i dont know if one of them grabbed some fur out of the other.

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/04/this_just_in_ra.html hehe the movie at the top got me curious, i could swear i hear my chins laughing when they are playing with each other, so i had to try tickling them. they didnt seem too impressed, but they lifted a paw so they could be scritched
