chinchilla social behavior or parental behavior?

[Chin_Pig]

i have to write a paper for my Animal Behavior class and i was wondering if anybody has heard of any articles on the social or parental behaviors of chins....

im not sure where to look for these but i know Dan Has a huge chin magazine collection, not sure if there is an article in one of them?


thanks!

I don't know what articles are out there, but you could write about the dominance and pecking order in chins that are in pairs or larger. From the warning kack, fur slips, humping, biting attacks and even fight to the death. You could learn a lot by searching on here.

i think i will go with guinea pigs, there is a guy in Ohio who studies g. Pigs and has a lab full of them! he is in the psycho-biology dept. he has some articles i have read and i now can e-mail him about more stuff

thanks though for your suggestion
