why is my chinchilla tugging on my clothes??

[ianna]

recently while i take my chinchilla out to play he’s been hopping on my arm and digging with his paws and tugging with his teeth while chirping, what does this mean?

My guess would be either grooming you, or he is feeling a bit "frisky".

My chin is always nibbling and tugging on my clothes. She especially likes zippers, haha.

Chins are funny.

My boy used to be obsessed with socks. No other clothing item, just socks. Didn't matter if I was standing or sitting, he wanted to check out my socks and was very disappointed if I was barefooted.

My girl loves the strings on hoods and jackets. She'll climb on my lap just to get to the strings and entertains herself for a good minute or 2 just pulling at the strings.

I’m pretty sure that’s what my little guy does when he tugs at my socks as well! The sock tugging is usually right after a burst of energy & pops or when I move things around in our room and he gets excited! Haha!
