Hey all! I just recently got my first chinchilla (who is already spoiled and I love almost more than anything!) about a week and a half ago. He's a male, 6 months and his name is Henry. Clearly I wasn't the smartest in letting him run around the first night after he was in his cage for a bit (but I live in an efficiency so it's not like he's ever out of my sight) and he absolutely loves it. But now he's taken to hiding between my desk and the wall. It's so strange, when I come home and let him out he'll be all happy and come see me (although not pick him up nicely yet, but not to be expected it's a new relationship) but after running around for awhile or when I start doing homework he'll go between my desk and the wall and just hide there. When I go looking for him because he's not running around he starts squealing at me and attempts to bite if I get close. The first time he did this I thought he may be stuck but he puffs up if I try to get him out. I don't want to hurt him but he'll literally stay this way as long as I'd let him. Please help
