Chinchilla babies are weaning, adolescents are going to new homes and it's musical cages time again. I put Aime and Katsu in the bathroom with the big dust bath and sat down to watch them in case they didn't settle down well together. Aime seems to have decided I needed involved in the dusting. She rolled, ran over to me, climbed up and even insisted I lift her to my shoulder, shook, slid down my chest, rolled, bounced across my lap, rolled, asked to be picked up.... She really didn't care about Katsu. She was too busy coating me in blue cloud. I tried to brush it all off but I keep ending up with dust in my mouth. :lol: My french fries were a bit gritty. I finally just took a shower. Glad I didn't get the sparkly version of that dust.

Next chinchilla litter in 4-6months. Technically Inada is due but Inada is young and her mate, Kaguroi, is even younger so they may not breed for awhile.
 
Someone needs to put up a video of a chinchilla dust bath just because they are so fun to watch. I vote you do it...and sparkly dust on you and the chins would be even funnier. lol
 
I'm sure our neighbors who whine if we track a piece of hay out of the condo or the dogs fluff during their shedding times would love blue sparkle.

The babies are the funniest to watch dust. They don't know what to do and sometimes they fall over or get stuck trying to roll and flop around on their side before standing back up. Their first dust bath we usually have to help them and we put their mom in right after setting them down so she throws dust all over them before leaving the dust bath box.
 
That sounds so hilariously not bath like at all. Blue sparkles could only enhance the experience :lol: I have never seen a chinchilla bathe itself before let alone a human. I need to amend that.

Akane started another thread with some videos of dust-bathing chinchillas! :p They're so funny! chinchilla-dusting-t21894.html

Sadly, still no blue sparkles. :twisted: :lol:
