Default My Newest Addition!

The exciting news for me is that I have just got a new addition to my family, his name is Jacob and he is a Chinchilla, aged 7 months!

I picked him up on Sunday and he's settling in at the moment. He likes his cage but still a little jumpy and unsure of me, which is fine so I'll work at his pace to gain his trust. He's absolutely beautiful and I already love him to bits, I can't wait to build a great relationship in the many years we will have together.

Photos will follow at some point, I haven't got any good ones yet as I didn't want to startle him.

If anyone has any tips about gaining his confidence, apart from the usual stuff, please share with me thanks!

Yay another chin! Congrats We've had our Merlin for over three years now, and it's estimated that he's four and a half. We got him from a bad situation, so gaining trust and building a bond took about a year, but it was so worth it. So I guess my main bit of advice would be to be patient. Chinchillas have very unique personalities, so you have to really get to know each other, and some chins are more personable than others, but they are very rewarding little creatures. If you ever have any questions, you can feel free to PM me

Brain Girl is also a fellow member who knows a lot about Chins. I am sure she would say the same regarding PMs.

Thank you for the offer of the advice! If anything comes up I'm not sure about I'll be certain to get in touch.

I got some pictures, enjoy the fluffy cuteness I'd love to see pics of other people's chins too! *hint hint*
