Figgy (Figaro) was hand reared after his mother died. He’s a teenager now and some days just aren’t for getting out of bed. #chinchillacomforts

Here's Mr Mac's, "do you have anything for me?" face. He's a retired ex-breeding male who takes his retirement very seriously. Just like his snackage! #chinchilla

Today is Rolo’s 17th birthday. She’s a lovely saggy older chinchilla now and her double (triple?) chin doesn’t stop her eating her birthday snackage.

Hello! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/… This is great! Please vote to have Shakespeare's Globe immortalised in Lego. Your humans would love it.. 👍


With temperatures set to soar over the next few days, please keep us #chinchillas cool and safe. Better yet, come join us if we have air conditioning - be a cool human too! 😎


Good morning everychin. Let’s make sure we are all cool as furry cucumbers today. Air conditioning on …. plenty of water freely available …. we could even share the aircon with the humans because they might melt too.


Bit of shopping from @Fuzzbutt_UK. Can’t wait to get them in the cages for a fresh spring look! #chinchillacoziness

Peanut is one of our oldies - she celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday. She says a full tummy of healthy food is the key to old age …. oh, and sleeping! Lots of sleeping. 🙃

#DidYouKnow when a chinchillas is stressed it will release a clump of fur, this is called a ‘fur slip’. Developed in the wild, this defence mechanism helped them escape from the mouth of a predator.

It’s that time of year again...... please please make sure your furries are kept safe from the whizzes and bangs of the fireworks - radio on louder this evening here and every chin seems fine so far - they will be kept an eye on regularly until the banging stops!!
