I'm not sure if my chins are mad at me or not. They have not been out of their cage for about two weeks, due to renovations in my parents bathroom. My room is not a safe area for them to run, they try and eat my carpet/ chew the walls. They have plenty of chew toys and get sticks every night. They have a silver surfer wheel as well. Three times this past week they have turned their hay bowl upside-down. Im still trying to figure out how they do it! It's pretty heavy. It's a ceramic bowl that sits flat on the bottom of their cage. They have also been throwing hay all over the floor of their cage. I'm pretty sure they are mad at me. My boy Phillip would not even take a rosebud from me yesterday. He waits until I sit it in front of him, and I close the cage before he will take it. He normally takes it right from my hands. I tried petting them in the cage to make up for not being able to run around but they ignored me, so I left them alone. It seemed I was annoying them more than anything.
Ticked off chins?

I was sick for a week and couldn't play with mine or give him the amount of attention he used to and one night he threw an absolute fit. Shaking the cage, throwing his chew toys, food ,hay. All night and he ignored me. I think they do get upset when they don't have the normal amount of playtime and space. But pretty sure they get over it pretty fast.

Oh yeah, my boys were so mad at me a few days ago! I have been a bad chin mom and haven't brought them out for playtime as much, just do to working late and being so tired. As soon as I brought them out for playtime Thursday, they've been fine. Silly chins! Jasper ate one side of the hay basket, so now they have a 3 sided hay holder! Of course, now they can hide behind their saucer and sneak a snack!

why my chins get angry one just runs around crazy in the cage. the other barks/screams every 2 minutes like clock work to get me to come to her.
that or the entertain themselves by throwing poo and hay at my cat.

Chins just get like that sometimes. If I get sick or don't have time to let them out like they believe I should, they throw hay, destroy things, throw their pellets and just throw a giant hissy fit in their cages. It's normal for the chins here.
Once a month I make a trip up to Phoenix and I am gone the entire day. When I get back I have chinchillas that won't even look at me because they are so angry that I was gone. It will take me a week to get everyone calmed down and back to normal.

Yep, my chins get ticked for various reasons. Not your average 'pocket pet' these monsters have a mind of their own.
