So Nyxie made her grand arrival in the dining room last night and has adjusted really well during her quarentine.! We are all so excited how friendly she is becoming and how litle the hustle and bustle of our house bothers her.
Petra on the other hand I think is confused by the new comer. Since playtime takes place on the floor of our dining room and Nyx's cage in on the floor of the dining room Petra got her first look. Nyx as is her custom, completly ignored her, hopped around a bit and the sat back to enjoy a willow star. Petra I think tried to get her attention chirping and putting her paws against the bars. Then left for a few minute when she came back to Nyx's cage she lunged at the bars which startled Nyx so Nyx sprayed her straight in the face. Petra was so startled she just stood there and recieved a second shot in the chest and then booked it for her bath.
After a good 10 mins continuous bathing she came and sat on me and proceeded, I can only assume, to tell me of this tramatic event as she just looked at me bewildered and chirped and barked quite a bit because she and I had never seen a chinchilla spray before this. :hilarious:
After Petra's play time I had Nyx's playtime. Which was the first time Nyx had ever been let out to really run in her entire life. Didn't know what to do with her self. Mostly just sat in one corner and would randomly popcorn.
I put her away and washed my hands really well, then went to give Petra a good scritching. She enjoyed it moving slightly so I could get the good spots. After about five minute of this while I had been scritching her side and tummy she sprayed my hand and then looked horrified! Ran back into her house and refused to come back out. This afternoon during her afternoon scritch she did it again, but without being horrified. :err:
What is this about?
Is this just from stress about Nyx?
Or is she just trying it out for funzies?
