Am I the only one who does this???

Yeah, I thought mother birds do feed their young mouth to mouth, and so I give Popsicle most of his treats by putting him on my shoulder, then if he behaves himself, I put a treat in my mouth and offer it to him.

Anyone else like to give their chin's treats this way?

I'd never dream of doing that. Some people let their dogs lick their faces too. Bleck!

Some people say doing that can transfer harmful bacteria to your chinchilla. I've never heard of it actually happening in practice though. I do know of someone who gave their African Grey parrot kisses and contracted a rare disease from it. Probably wouldn't happen with a chinchilla but I suppose you could get giardia.
