So this last week the Flying Saucer and Chin Spin (Thank you so much Sumiko.) I ordered arrived and I finally got them up and running two days ago. Nyxie got the Chin Spin and she was in it before I even had it attached. Once I let go she sat out side it and just made it spin by pushing it with her hand. After figuring out how it worked she hopped in and got to work. :dance3:
Petra on the other hand was less enthused about her flying saucer and would not go near it. This morning I was contemplating switching to see if Nyx would take to the Flying saucers as well and maybe Petra would like the Wheel better. As I'm standing there Petra hops on and gives in a three step walk and hops off andd gives it a wicked stink eye meaning, "how dare you move when I jump on you". I gasp and tell her how wonderfull it is that she did even that much and give her scritches. :cheer: Then said firmly and excitedly, "Do it again show mer." and she hops up and goes for about 5 seconds. I gasp and cheer and repeat what I said and she hops back up on command and goes. This continues until she's on for about a minute.
About half way through Nyxie, not to be out done, hops on her wheel and runs, then scurries to the front of the cage for the same cheers and scritching. I think I spent nearly an hour cheering my chinchillas on as Petra figured out her saucer and Nyx showed off.
I'm such a nerd, I called my mom to tell her about it...:laughitup: I thought I'd share cause I'm just so proud... or maybe loopy after a 12 hr night shift... or both!

You should cheer her on. I put a saucer in a cage with my chins years ago, and they just looked at. Had no interest whatsoever. They would run on a regular wheel, but just thought that saucer was too weird. I'd consider it an great accomplishment that she used it!
