We just adopted a chinchilla from a friend of ours. She loved it and didn't want to get rid of him but she works 14 hrs. a day now and doesn't have time for it. I researched a bit before I got it but I have some questions. Is it normal for them to nibble on your hands? For some reason he clamps down harder on your finger nails too. Also, I got to admit that I have a hard time getting him out of his cage without just outright grabbing him? I am not gonna lie,I really am scared he is gonna bite me or my wife or son. We just brought him home yesterday and I feel like for a week or two he just needs to get used to his cage being in a new home with new surroundings before handling him too much. He does seem to take raisins from our hand pretty gently. Any help for a new Chinchilla owner would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully he will work out just fine cause I want to build him a large custom cage. Thanks in advance for your help.
