its not that shes not catching her breath its like staggered breathing like its not a constant rate of in and then out its more like 2 quick breaths into a slower one into a couple fast breaths

im new to owning a chinchilla and are chinchillas breathing the same as us with a steady in and out? I just want to make sure shes breathing ok and im just overthinking it. She has not a steady breathing and its more like a faster not steady breathing she comes out and runs around and jumps...

i sprayed for bugs a while ago to kill roaches and such and i just got a chinchilla about 10 months old and im new to owning one but i know they need to run around is it safe for her to run around in the bath room where i sprayed at the only place i didnt spray was in my room.

when they make noise it could be he wants attention not just toys, they also want to make sure you are there and they are not alone just go and pet him and he will calm down they get scared too
