I'm new to Chinchilla care. Do they make tiny Chinchilla diapers?
We are laughing with you, not at you.
No, they don't make chinnie diapers ... good thing, too, or you would have to wash their little furry bottoms constantly.
Most chinchillas will not pee on you, but there are a few that will. Like Debbie, I think that it sounds like it's not trying, it's just missing it's target.
The "time out" for peeing on you is a good one, chinchillas are very intelligent and learn quickly what they have to do (or in this case, not do) to get what they want or enjoy the most.
Now, if she sprays you ... that is a different whole different story. When one purposely sprays you (as in stands there and takes aim), you have done something that upsets and/or frightens them ... figure out what it is and don't do it again ... if you want to stay dry.
I have one chin, Pee-tunia, that is jealous of me ... any time she sees my husband put his arms around me or kiss me ... she will spray me every time I pass the cage for about 3 days. Hence the name Pee-tunia instead of Petunia.
We have another female, Precious, that will 'rain on' my husband's head, if he sits down at the computer without saying hello to her first. The computer is about 6 feet away, and he is in a high back chair with his back to her, but she has perfect aim ... gets him right on top of the head every time! (Be glad it's your knee and not your head.
