Do Chinchilla's bark just to bark?

My previous Chin, Andy, did the same thing. I'd be half asleep upstairs, and he'd be downstairs barking at midnight just so I'd come running down to see what was up. and there he'd be--sitting at the door of the cage, upright, just waiting for me. OYE! They train us soooooooo easily. lol

My first chinnie cried out at night,all night on and off for weeks. It wasn't a bark, but like a loney cry. So I got her a new friend. Well, they never got along as cage mates but she she stopped crying out the first night they were in the same room together.It's like she's comforted just knowing that another chin is in the room.
