so i was sleeping next to bambi's cage, like always, and last night at 3 am, he started to make noise. It was the same noise he made when he was dreaming, but this time its longer and louder. It seems like he was screaming his lungs off, he bark with long breath for like 5-6 times then he stop, took a deep breath and started barking again, and then he would run on the wheel super fast in between the barking. I went online at 3 am to try to find out what's going on, and i think it's what people call "warning call" and chins do that when they're scared, but can't find any reason for Bambi to be scared...it was just a normal night, everything was quiet and everyone was sleeping. I checked his cage and everything was normal...then i pet him for a while and went back to sleep, i think he stopped barking after that.
I just got back home from school and he was sleeping on his side, he woke up and went back to sleep after i gave him some oats, but what worries me is that hes sleeping sideway and he doesnt wake up even when i open the cage door, usually he would wake up and stand up even when i walk very slightly to his cage to take his picture, but now he would just open his eyes and keep on sleeping. He doesn't even open his eyes widely when he's eating. He seems tired and sleeping sideway makes it look like he's dying
Now i've been leaving the cage door open for about half an hour, and he's not coming out, he just want to sleep.Is it normal for a chinchilla to do that? help please!
