Thank you Cass, for answering my question and I agree comparing them to cats is not the same thing.

A lot of household that have dogs and cats get along with eachother and have slept next to eachother. Animals can be tamed to be friends, just depends on the animals and how well they take it. Not all, but some. Yeah I've done all of that. I'm just wondering why she isn't scared, since she...

Aheh

So I got a new puppy added to the family and at first he didn't pay no mind to my chinchilla, was actually scared of her. However, the chinchilla has been the instigator, always trying to touch his nose, goes on the lower level closest to him, follows the direction he goes, starts hopping...

I tried doing what you said by holding her... this isn't working, she doesn't want to be held just wants to run around and be free. So when I do put her back in her cage after I'm done holding her for a little bit, she is starting to tear everything up and making a mess.

Ok. Awesome, I'll try this! I tell her no about biting the cage and tap her nose too and so far it's been working, she has not really been biting on the cage as much, which is good. I also notice when I gave her foods and treats I assoicated this with the sound of the bag, to get her to first...

I switched my chinchilla out of her cage 3 times! She was in a small bunny cage one too with only a hide out, water, and hay. Once I put her in the big cage she was hopping around all crazy you could tell she was extremely excited for all the room she had, unfourtunately she ended up being too...

When can they start having treats? So she's just a brat then 😧 lol. I'm going to try the "no more" free/play time and see if that works. She did pretty good about knowing her limits, she's a smart cookie, I only let her have free time because of the small cage she was in, but I understand...

She is 3-4 months old now and I got her when she was 7-8 weeks. She adapted to me super fast, she was skittish for the first couple of days. She started off in a small cage with just enough room to eat, sleep, and hide until I was able to get her a bigger cage. So, I would give her 30-45 mins...

She doesn't bite when I grab her or pet her, which she is still adapting too she doesn't know if she likes being pet yet and I can tell she doesn't like being held either. She just bites because she wants to be free, it's getting to the point where I cannot go near the cage or open it because...

Does anyone know how to deal with chin agression or biting?

My chinchilla has dryness on her ear, but it's not really flaky it looks more like stuck dirt or something that just wont rub off, she doesn't seem to be bothered and I know it's not fungus. Could this possibly be from bathin? She also scratches frequently, I don't know what's the normal...

Background: I got my chinchilla at 6-7 weeks old and now my chinchilla is over 3 months now. She warmed up to me very fast, from being scared and skittish to now coming to me when I call her name and say the command come. She was in a small cage for a little while so I was constantly taking...
