How to Introduce Chinchillas
Introduction
Chinchillas are quite sociable creatures and can be housed together in the same cage. Be sure to properly introduce them first in one of the following ways, which involve gradually introducing the smell of the newcomer to the group.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Steps
1
Step One
Place the chinchillas in separate cages, but side by side, to allow them to become accustomed to one another's scents.
2
Step Two
Mask the natural scent of the newcomer with a drop of perfume before placing him or her into the cage with the other chinchillas. As the perfume fades away, the scent of the new chin will be gradually introduced to the others.
3
Step Three
Consider providing a cage with several levels. Chinchillas are jumpers, and they will appreciate the extra space.
Tips & Warnings
- Although in general chinchillas enjoy each other's company very much, putting two males together with one female may cause some animosity between the males.
