Well, fortunately, she seems to have recovered. At least, she's acting like her normal self (and was since the day after I posted, which, err, is why I didn't check up on the thread >>). I think it must have just been a mood, or maybe it could have had something to do with her teeth overgrowing? I say this because I brought back some wood scraps for her that night, which she NOM-ed with vigor, and this was followed by a recovery in the morning.

'Spose I'll never know, but that you for your help. I really over-worry about her. Any little thing is like a cause of alarm for me. ><

Health / Odd Behavior

« on: December 15, 2009, 03:57:54 PM »

My chinchilla is behaving strangely, and I'm worried about her.
Normally, she'll come right up to the cage door when I enter the room (unless she's sleeping) and bounce around until I let her out. And she loves dust-baths, running up to the closet door when I let her out and making digging motions to indicate she wants to use the dust-bowl inside.

However, today she is hiding under her wheel and fleeing when I tried to take her out. After almost an hour and a great deal of coaxing, I finally got her to come out, but instead of heading to the closet, she immediately darted behind my bed as if she was terrified of me.

Please, does anyone have any idea what's wrong? Are 'bad moods' for chinches common, or is it something I did? She has fallen (by virtue of being too eager and jumping out of my hands, mostly) into some hard stuff several times, but always seems okay immediately afterwards. I'm pretty sure this is unrelated, but I worry...
