Frantic chinchilla

[KawiiEssence]

I've had my chin, Ash, for 4 months. In February he started to scratch and bite at my hand everytime I would stick it into his cage. It has gotten worse since then. He will not stop at anything. I've looked into it on multiple other sites along with this one and nothing seems to help. He has plenty to do in his cage and I also get him out every night for playtime. This has really made feeding him a chore since I can't open his cage without him frantically trying to get out.:grouphug::grouphug:

How old is he? If he is under a year and a few months he is going through puberty and will be a mess until he matures, patience!

He is 9 months old, I never thought about the fact it might be associated with his age. Thanks for the help.
