new sound

[sheltiefan]

I have had chi chi for about 2 mo now. I have heard her bark in her sleep and chew in her sleep but today during play time she was making a new noise iv never heard. Its super quite i could barly hear it. It sounds like water dripping. i guess. What does that mean?

This might be a "peeping" noise as I call it--sometimes GiGi still makes this noise but she is housed with her mom--I think it's a baby type noise even though she is an adult.

I think it's the basic 'contact' noise they make to keep in touch with one another while they're wandering about. Mine will do it in response to me talking, or to each other. It's cute, and means they're happy.

Here's a good recording: http://www.chinchilla-sounds.de/kontkt_e.htm. Keep in mind the mic is turned way up; in reality, this is a very soft sound.
