Chinchilla is a very smart animal, easy to train. Here are a few tips for taming your pet.
If a new pet does not strive for your company for the first time, then do not be upset right away. He first needs to carefully examine his new home in order to feel more or less confident. A week will pass when the animal settles in the territory allotted to it, he will consider it his refuge, and then you can begin to get acquainted.
You can start by simply opening the door and sticking your hand in the pet. Soon the animal will begin to climb on it. With the other hand, try to encourage courage with something tasty at the moment when he will sit in your palm. in a few days, the chinchilla will not have enough hands, and she will try to get close to her face and fit on her shoulder. At these moments, try not to make sudden movements and do not make unusual sounds for her. For example: laughter (when your pet tickles your mustache), screams, etc. During walks outside the cage, always encourage him to treat him, this will allow you to make friends faster. When walking around the apartment, try to make hygiene products, powders, electrical wiring and telephone cable inaccessible to the chinchilla. Walking can be arranged at any time or even at night, when there are fewer extraneous sounds and nothing prevents the animal from moving freely around the room, as he pleases. If you decide that it is time for the animal to return to the cage, try not to chase after it, it is harmful to the psyche of any rodent. If possible, try to attract his attention with a treat, give him the opportunity to climb on you and escort him into the cage. I use the love of sand, try to lure the animal in a bathing suit, putting it on the floor. If all this does not work, then when fishing it is necessary to sort it with both hands or grab the base of the tail. Chinchillas can be carried by holding it at the base of the tail. It is advisable to plan the return of the animal to the cage in advance, so that there is enough time to do this without resorting to "extreme" measures.
It must be remembered that for all its charm, the chinchilla is not the creature that sits for hours on its owner’s lap or shoulder. She is too restless to be in the same place for more than a few seconds. However, once a tamed animal will come up to you, climb on you and demand that a cage be opened for him to communicate with you.
