Ok, so earlier today I posted a question about Tinacin because I'm treating a mild fungus right now on my chin. I got a ton of really great feedback- all things that I will try.
I went home- Baxter is doing great. He was happy to see me and came to the edge of the cage for affection. So I spent a little bit of time just sitting next to his cage. I put his dust bath in there just for fun. He rolled around - everything was as usual. Well, I'm not quite sure how to describe this next part without being slightly crude...:err:
He got up on top of his dust bath and was grooming himself all over - VERY cute as usual. Then all of the sudden, it was like something came over him. He started to kind of shudder a little bit while extending his hind legs making himself a little bit taller - almost like he was stretching so it wasn't that weird until he stopped and started to clean his... himself . He was down there for a while, so I started to wonder. I crouched down to see what he was doing... I've read a little on how to check for hair rings... kinda weird. But my chinchilla knows how to do it. he had that jam fully extended and completely in his mouth. :huh: I have NEVER seen him do that before and I can only think of two reasons for it:
1. He did it because there's something wrong - possibly related to the fungus?
2. He was just grooming and cleaning himself and just feels REALLY comfortable around me :rofl:
Weird?? Or comfortable?
