Ok, this is quite a funny question, but another member's post reminded me of it. Do chinchillas have a mating dance? The reason I ask is because on some occasions, Tia does this really weird thing during playtime. Tribble (male) goes for his playtime in the playpen and then I switch them out and Chichi and Tia (females) have their turn.
Tia will go into the corner of the playpen and do this "dance". That's the only way I can describe it. She moves forward and then moves backwards and turns around. She does it for a little bit and then moves on. It looks like she is dancing, it really does! I need to capture this on camera for you guys.
Could it be possible she is smelling Tribble? Sometimes he will pee in the playpen and I clean it, but is it possible she is picking up on his scent?
