Besotted Chinchilla Lover
I am a new owner and I am delighted with my new White Mosaic Chin. She is about 14 weeks old and is very tame and affectionate. She wants me to take her out of the cage all the time and lets me hold her and play with her. She also loves for me to stroke her cheeks and in the spot where her neck and jaw meet. She tilts her head up and closes her eyes while I rub her. She is also very alert and curious.
Being new to Chins I was trying to describe her behavior and characteristics to my friends. I found myself describing her as a mixture of a rabbit, squirrel, mouse, rat with a fur coat who jumps. LOL
I wonder if experts here could discuss Chinchilla intelligence and awareness. I am having so much fun with her. I am wondering what I can expect in the future and what I should consider teaching her.
Thank you, Faye
