Sophie was actually supposed to be one of my new mascots with Grumpy but then I just, never settled on just one chin and use whomever wants to be handled that day LMAO.

About a week ago I shared some ink illustrations of Elder Dusty, a chinchilla character in my anthropomorphic fantasy novel, Capyhero: https://www.reddit.com/r/chinchilla/s/mCjIKKXHcR

Folks here seemed to like it so I thought I’d share some process sketches and the before/after!

This is a fun moment where our venerable Elder Dusty is enjoying a dust bath, as chinchillas do 😊.

Rehomed Chinchilla

Hi, I wrote some days ago about my brother's chinchilla, that he didn't care about anymore. I went and got her the day after and found a nice cage on marketplace (extremely lucky), her old cage sucks. She seems much happier now, she is full with energy and is much more confident!

I bought new pellets for her, that I'm slowly introducing, since her first food looked nasty and she didn't even like it.

Since I got her on a Sunday, I haven't put any toys in her cage (already ordered). She didn't have any toys in her old home, I only took the branches with me.

I will add some pictures of her now and her earlier home (might show new cage when I'm done with it). And yes, the old cage has screws here and there for some reason, I'm surprised that she haven't hurt herself!

Looking to Rehome My Chinchilla – Las Vegas, NV

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a loving and experienced home for my female chinchilla in Las Vegas, NV. 🐭💕

I love her very much, but due to personal circumstances, I’m looking for someone who understands chinchillas and can give her the care and love she deserves.

She is about 4 months old. I can also include her cage and some of her supplies.

I would really like to find someone experienced with chinchillas and who will treat her like family. Please message me if you’re seriously interested and tell me a little about yourself and your experience with chinchillas. ❤️

Are his feet healthy?

I learned that chinchillas feet can get irritated or wounded and I just want your opinions if his feet look normal or if I should get that checked out by the vet. Thank you

Secondhand wheels?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I need a wheel for my newer gal (she’s a BIG girl). Yes I can afford a brand new wheel, I would never have exotic pets or any pets for that matter without being able to fully provide their full care and enrichment. I was just wondering if anyone had any secondhand wheel options since a good metal wheel is pricey lol. My smaller girl has the wheel she came with from her rescue and it works really well for her but I’m worried it would hurt my big girls back since she’s a huge chinchilla.

I’ll order a nice pink chin surfer if no one has any suggestions but just curious!
