Chinchilla to sleep?
Okay so I got a new chin, and is very hyper so very lazy. Today I was really hyper and then was on his wheel and went to bed. Is it okay? Is it just sold out? I checked for all diseases / is soooo healthy.
If you are new in particular, he is still adjusting to everything. And if young children will behave and have random spurts of activity. It is necessary to be let out for about an hour a day so you can get some exercise outside the cage. If you are locked in there all day, will do nothing and have to burn their energy from some way. And please consider getting him a friend. Chinchillas are social animals. It is not natural for them to live alone. The easiest way to attract joy and activity is getting a friend.
