The Most Common Chinchilla Behavior Issues

Does your pet chinchilla exhibit some behavior problems? Chinchillas are capable of socializing and learning to socialize with humans. Chinchillas are a lot more sociable or tolerant if they have undergone “training” in socialization at a very young age. Having said that, there remains a possibility that a chinchilla will develop some form of anti-social behavior sooner or later, particularly if he or she has experienced bad treatment from other people or if he did not get some socialization activities or training early on in his life. The following is a brief list of unwanted behaviors that he may display:

Biting
It may sound weird, but chinchillas may “bite” people to display affection or acceptance. They may bite hard if they are experiencing fear, stress, or nervousness.

Urine Spraying
If a female chinchilla has accumulated a lot of unspent energy, she may resort to urine spraying, and they can be accurate in doing so.
