I've been trying to introduce two chinchillas using the side-by-side cages method, and during the day there have been no major problems - no barking, no attempts at aggression through the cage, etc. The last two nights, however, I've been hearing a weird, new sound. It's kind of a shrill, squeaky noise. Sounds like "Upset and annoyed", the last one listed on http://www.cheekychinchillas.com/chinsounds.html. Before I can get up to check on them, however, I hear the normal chattering noises that one of them makes, and when I do see them they're fine and playing by themselves.

Should I be worried? Should I separate the cages further? (They're 6-7 inches apart right now, to ensure that no tails can be grabbed).
 
They might just be playing and one did something the other didn't like so he got warned. It's not something to worry about unless they are trying to fight.
