Hi all,
I wanted to get some advice from people who own chins - rather than my "know it all" friends.
I've had Monte, my chinchilla, for a little over a year now - he is about 16-18 months.
He has 3 different lava rocks, and a lava rock ledge that he choose on sometimes, but usually uses it as a perch.
Every night I hear him chewing on his cage. It's so annoying. He's pulling the wires, and letting them snap back - being real loud about it. He shouldn't be chewing on the cage - he has plenty of chew toys!
My question is, can I spray some bitter apply spray on the cage, the stuff you use for dogs to get them to stop chewing on furniture? Or will that hurt him? I certainly don't want to do that - and I imagine it wouldn't - but since chinchillas have finicky digestive systems, I just wanted to be sure.
The spray might not even work - I just want him to stop gnawing on the cage. It's so loud and annoying.
Any suggestions?
