So I just got my first chinchilla his name is Gus Gus, I've had him for a week and half, the breeder said he was 9 weeks old when i got him. I've been trying to bond with him sticking my hand in the cage and such. I was wondering if he is too young for treats? Also he doesnt really chew on his hanging wooden toy I bought him but every time he drinks he attacks the water bottle like hes trying to chew on it.. is that normal? Also i hell come and try to get out of the cage and try to chew on my clothes is that bad? and is it too soon to try to get him out to let him play? He wont let me hold him i tried when i first got him but he squirmed a around a lot and now when i try or put two hands on him he makes a squeaky noise and kinda runs away,.. what does that mean? Sorry for all the questions im kinda a paranoid chin owner, I just want to do it right
also any other suggestions for a new owner are more than welcome
Thanks so much!
