haha!! I love the whiskers. so twitchy and tickleish. BTW when i scratch my chin, it makes a weird sound sort of like muffled laughing and wags it's tail. is this good? it does not jump away though

wagging tail have many sign, ALL IS good sign. For your situation, your chin like you and very happy at that moment.
About the weird sound, i think it is begging you something, if you been feeding him treat, he will keep on beggin when you come close to the cage. Chin have MANY weird sound, i not sure your weird sound is the one i descript.

May I know where can I get Chinchillas in Klang Valley?

Planning to get for my girlfriend.

Do I have to buy them in pairs? Or will they do fine just living by themselves?

so cute so kawaii neh the totoro!!

You no need to buy pair, they live very well alone and wont feel lonely. secondly, before you get a Chinchilla for your GF, i will suggest you to study this species's need before buying for her. Even her self need to study as well, it wont be a suprice for her as a gift. if not you and the chin will struggle and eventually is the chin who suffer the most. Browse my first page, i have posted some useful link to read.

Added on April 11, 2008, 11:06 amWanna ask you a few questions and would really appreciate it if you could help me with these..

1. My chin doesn't eat pellets (pellets that looks like rabbit food).. What can i buy for him? Any brand to recommand ? Or What should i Do?
Where you located? If you in KL, you can get other brand like Kaytee chinchilla pellet.Pellet must use those is plain pellet type, not those have colouring.

2. He often urine at his bowl (place where i put the food). Should i change to a smaller one ?
Wash your dish bowl, dry it well. is common chin urine on the bowl, do you use bedding? If no, use bedding, use cage that is solid base bottom, dont use wire cage bottom for your easy cleaning, it will make him want to pee on bowl.

3. He likes sunflower seeds alot. I threw in a few for him together with the pellets and he only chooses to eat sunflower seeds..
Stop feeding sunflower seed, you will soon make your chin sick and die. Dont feed anything is high fat and dont let you chin train you, you train him. Chin need a very straight diet, no seed, no nut, no corn, no vegetables or fruit. Just pellet and hay will do. I will suggest you search on google type "chinchilla care", there is a lot popping up.

I am really afraid that he starves because he doesn't like pellets.. I do have alfafa hays at home and he eats it occasionally. I have also brough Prestige(brand) Natural Snack for him but can i put it in his main course?
When he hungry he will eat the pellet, change your pellet if there is not written from chinchilla, even its does written for chinchilla, use those is plain pellet type. Kaytee is good brand to go for. Stock feeding all the junk, like snack, seed, etc. Your chin need plaint chin pellet and good timothy hay + occationly small alfalfa hay.


Pls help me out with this..

Last suggestion for you, pls read more about chin care, feeding sunflower seed show that you did not enough reading on chinchilla.

dis chincilla ...so cute !!
are they behavior like cat and can live roaming in da house ??

Haha... They are not like cat, cannot running here and they in the house FREELY. They must be in the secure cage which they cannot go out and cannot like other animal attack them. But you can set a 5 minutes play time each day for them to let lose BUT SECURE surrounding. They are rodent tho.

so...if i put them with a colar neck like dog, can i take it our for a walk?
