Hi everyone!!
We are so excited to announce the newest addition to our Chinpals herd: welcome Finn! đ€
(Look out for our next video which is bringing Finn home!)
Finn is a 7 year old mosaic male chinchilla who came from a follower also located in Ohio. She contacted me weeks ago explaining her situation and how she'd love for Finn to join our herd. This particular situation seemed to check all the boxes that I had been mulling over for years.
For those years, I'd said I did not want any more chinchillas, (which was and is still true haha) but there was a large part of me that wanted a white or mosaic. However, I mostly decided to adopt Finn because I wanted to give Knox a chance to bond with another. Finn is around the same age and already had a nice, affectionate personality, so I had a good feeling about the two of them.
This is also going to give me a chance to show how I would acclimate a new chinchilla to myself and our environment and to document the bonding process between Finn and Knox. It's something I've helped a lot of people with (after the several, treacherous months that were bonding Henry and Chip...) over message, but not been able to share video with of what I was describing. Hopefully their bond will be smooth and easy, but if not, of course Finn will get to enjoy his life with us in his own large cage and Knox back in his. For now though, having the cage split is going to be the easiest way to get them comfortable with each other's smells and sounds!

I'm glad that I subscribed to you đ
â@@shomain.same
@@chinpals I love chins
I have one his name is Pebble
@@chinpalschinchillas donât blink they wink so itâs normall
Last year, mid-summer our power went out, I had to sit in the car with the AC on for 4 hours with our Chin Luna, until the power came back on and the house was able to cool down.
Wow, thats so scary! but you win best chin owner!!
@@chinpals It for sure was terrifying, every now and again she gave me nose boops of reassurance.
You are a great chin parent!
You know he gonna be a great one when he's already mastered the wink. Bro just got into the family and already takes after his brothers. đ
i was so shook haha
Knox and Finn Just Like Yin and Yang!
Chin & Yang, or Finn & Yang đ€đ€
@@chinpals Yes!
Welcome to the herd, Finn!!!đ€đ€
It's so crazy but so accurate that that's what a group of chins is called.
Just discovered your channel! Congratulations on Finn!! đ
Love the hexagons your dad made †you're such a good Chin mom!
Yay! I canât wait to get to know him better
Give him a big hug from all of us Chin fans!
So cute, welcome finnđ
Fingers crossed, that he and Knox will do well together over Time. đ đ
i really hope so! he hasn't been bothered at all by the smell of other chins yet, and Knox never has either, so hopefully that's a good sign :)
â@@chinpalsur chins r adorable
So happy Knoxie will be getting a friend! I hope they get along well đ
Finn is adorable and he seems to be getting comfortable quite quickly in his new cage. I hope he and Knoxie will get along very well and be the best of pals! â€
I love your channel, I had multiple chins for years and they all lived out happy lives. I live in an apartment now and just don't have the proper room or set up for any chins sadly. How you care for your chins is pretty much how I cared for mine. I had four chinchillas and even though it's hard work I miss having them dearly. So I like to watch your videos to reminisce of my chin having days. I think your content is great and furthermore I like that you inform and show people that they are a major responsibility, they're messy, want to chew everything and aren't the type of pet that's going to cuddle with you. By doing this , and showing everything it takes to be a chinchilla owner it may stop people from getting them that have no idea how much it takes to have chins for a pets, so thank you for educating people while entertaining them. Good luck with your fifth! đ
Oh my god how cuteđđ and iâm so so SO happy that your new video came! đđ€ Welcome home Finnđđ
My Hoshi and Kumo love those hay hides!!! Also thanks for the tip to get them lava ledges!!!
of course!! lava ledges are a huge hit and they last a long time!
Finn Is Very cute. I think he have the best homeâ€â€â€
A new day of joy and wonder â€
THE CHIN ARMY JS COMPLETE! THE PROPHECY SHALL BE FINALIZED.
â€â€ sooo cuuuuttteee đ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđ„čđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
He is so cute đ Welcome to the family, Finn!
Welcome Home Finn..
Fingers crossed that Finn and Knox will get along. I've had a few pairings collapse even months after everything seemed to work out well, so we learned not to take a successful bonding for granted.
OMG. Welcome to the chin fam Finn!
Finn is so cute! That's the nice setup for his cage! knox looks at the camera is so cute too! I love your Linus ninja t-shirt! đâ€
Exotic pets really are lots of work! Welcome Finn!
Welcome Finn you are in the best hands and loving family!! Finn will have the best chinchilla life like everyone elseâ€â€
I can't stop watching this
PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDS LIKE THISSSS it helps so much with a new chin!!!!
Whaaattt??? I new Chin! Yay!! Congratsđđđ
Welcome to the herd Finn
Oh Wow, that's wonderful to know, Welcome to the Family Finn
Finn is so adorable. Welcome! đ
Welcome finn đ€
Such a cutie! I canât wait for his personality to start coming through. Welcome to the herd, Finn!
I love your cages! I would keep hammocks and stuff for my chinchillas in their cages but they started chewing on them.
can't wait to see more of the adorable Finn!
Yep, they can live a long time. My last chin, Kethry, was 2 months short of 25 years old when she died. Still miss her like crazy
I have a white chinchilla as well and Iâm so glad you got one! They are so pretty đ
Congratulations on your new chinchilla!â€đ
The wink Finn gave here is too cute!! 8:42
What a pretty baby! Finn has that chin mischief written all over himđ He looks fairly small compared to the others. Is he kinda little, or is it just because you're not zoomed in and handling him?
Chinchillas do take a lot of care that a lot of people don't think about or have to deal with with other pets. Even finding a vet who has any experience can be a pain. I wish sometimes that I had a couple, but fear of a supply chain collapse and not being able to get their food is a big issue.
Then there's my boy. My son is severe autistic (so a lot of care needed there), and he and my last chinchilla were just the best of friends. Watching my little boy scream the chinchilla's name, then throw himself on the ground in absolutely hysterical tears when I had to tell him that Toggle Bean had died, absolutely destroyed me a second time. It's been 7 years and he's only just now starting to try and pet animals again.
Also hes so cute congrats on the new chin
Love your Chinchilla Family â€â€â€â€â€So Adorable and cute đ„°đ€©đđLove Finn,Linus ,knox and the other cute twosome that i cant remember by name ,Love your T Shirt â€ïžđđ
Finished the video: Oh my goodness I love him already, it was so fun watching him move around and explore all of the new stuff.
I also think it is so cool that you rescued an older chin and really hope that he and Knox work out!
I'm so excited!!!!!
I'm also so pumped to learn about how you prepare for a new chin! â€
Welcome home Finn!
(Also I only recently found out about mosaic chins and I fell in love, so I can't blame you for following that dream.)
I'm super excited about this! đđđđđ
Looks like he's having a blast already looks similar to mine with the white and small areas of grey combination enjoy
Oh im so happy!!!!!!!!!!â€ïž
So cute!
He's adorable đ.
Yaay a new rabbit or ferret accoding to the chinroom video . , đđđ€Łđ«¶đ„°đ„°â€ïž&Light
So happy for you guys đ
He is adorable!
Awwwâ€â€â€â€ I think Finn is gonna be a great fit! He seems very comfortable already. â€
Lucky boy, he is happy already
Awww, Hello Finn đ„°đ„° I love the cage set up! We have a Ferret Nation cage in our Amazon wish list. My cages were second hand and getting old. Good luck with the bonding, I am hoping to do that soon, so am curious with what you do.
Finn will definitely get along with Knox with the way he grabbed that stick so fast
Welcome to chinpals Finn
I love you vids so mutch and Im happy that you have fifth chinchillaâ€âš
Finn is sooooo adorable it looks just like my chinchilla
1 more!?!??!
Ooooooo welcome Finn đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„° and great video sis đ„°đ„°
I hope he bonds with knox. Knox i would say is the more âintrovertedâ chin for a lack of a better word. I hope to see him enjoy another chinâs company
the fact they can live for like 20 years is amazing to me
He's got beautiful markings
Soo cute
The prince who was promised
You should get an emergency generator. A portable one at least. They even have solar power ones or you could go with a traditional gas powered one. An emergency generator is only a few hundred dollars. You spent more than that on the chinchillas.
Welcome Finn!!!!! , by the way I have a Chinchilla too, his name is Dexter Jerry the first, I got him in February 21. He is like Linus ( the appearance, well the attitude too!!!!) đ€Łđđ€đâșđ€đ :)
Henry, Knox , Linus And Chip Are Going To Have A New Friend
I hope they are enjoying chinchilling with eachother :)
Wow. You surely do love your chins
He's a bean!
12th comment! I wish you best of luck đ
im not sure where you are but im down in Florida and have 10 guinea pigs. We keep a whole case of water on the bottom of the deep freeze. placing them in a sock and putting them in the cage gives the piggies something cold to cuddle with if a hurricane knocks out the power, it might be something to look into im sure something similar could work for chinchilla's
Welcome to the chinfluencers Finn â€
Omg he looks just like my winnie winston. đ
CHANGE YOUR PROFILE BANNER!! WE NEED THIS LITTLE BABY THERE
Babe wake up new Chinpal just dropped.
Finn is the name of one of my chinchillas!
I have got a new chinchilla he is an albino we named him aspen he is a bit skittish but that is to be expected
â€â€â€â€â€â€
OMG NEW CHINCHILLA???
Cutest explosion
Where did you get the little ceramic you keep the hay in
đđ pam pam đ€đ€ đđ
Hi I've been following you for months,I have 2 and you have been a great wealth of info.i so appreciate you.can you tell me what brand of cages you have?whenever you get a chance,I appreciate all your helpful tips
My chinchilla has her birthday on the same day as mine
Could you please make bids on bonding little fin? I really need help bonding my chinny and this could help
I love chins
I have one thats called bubu
Knox, Henry, Chip , Linus, meet your new brother Finn!
0:01 hi I canât wait to see the new chin
What a coincidence my chinchilla is named finnagen!
I can imagine that itâs stressful to take care of that many Chinchillas
Nice pikachu
I think Knox is not so exited like the other chins (you know why) đ đąâ€đ
Welcome Finn! Can i ask you where de you get your chins' wheels? I can't find safe wheels that are not overpriced :(
For some reason, this Chanel and those chinchillas gives me a lot of Thomas the tank engine vibes.
I mean:
Henry who is the strongest and smartest of the group feels like Gordon,
Knox,(who is my favorite) the cute but elsewhere kind which makes me think of Percy,
Chip which idk why makes me think about James
Finn, which so far, could be the new character you would see at the beginning of a new season,
And of course, the most popular, the main character kind: Linus, who is litteraly Thomas.
(No offence of course)
Iâm going to get two chinchillas the cage that you use could I just split it like what you do in this video also is there any advice I need before I get them
O: knox and finn could have like a nickname caled the ying and yang twins OOOO:
How does Finn compare in size to the other chins?
