Health / Re: Stress and my Chin

Well, he acted surprisingly good. During the travelling, i was driving so i couldn't pay more attention but i only heard him cry only a little bit. He stayed in the car, covered in blanket for like 6h tops. He didn't cry much. Now, after 4 h spent at home he didn't cry and he ate a bit like 2 raisins and some apple but he even let me pet him and he showed me where to pet him. He is starting to like me so I guess he isn't that scared as i thought. His poop seemed a bit smaller than the rest but it seemed hard as the other.
I am keeping him covered, but should I let him stay during the night in the same room as me and of course my cat ('cause i Can't get rid of it) or should I move it in another room? The cat start to leave the covered cage alone, but I don't know for how much longer.
Thank you.

Health / Stress and my Chin

« on: December 17, 2014, 02:03:53 PM »

I have an urgent matter. I had just received last week in a Thursday a male chinchilla. IT was bought from a pet shop and we kept its cage. The first two nights it cried a lot but after that he started getting accommodated. The problem is that I was at the University in another city and today i had to come to my hometown for holiday. I have a cat at my father's house and i talked to somebody to take care of my chin for the holiday, but unfortunately it had to be postponed for 2 days. Now i don't know what to do to stop my cat from scaring off my chinchin. I tried to cover the cage in a blanket so that the chinchilla won't see the cat starring at him. My cat is a bit jealous and he doesn't allow us to stay with our doors closed (like ever). And when i am home he always sleeps with me.  I am not sure what to do. To keep my chinchilla covered or to try lock it in another room (which is colder and i hope my cat won't start jumping on the door handle like he always does when it;s locked out. Please help. I am really worried. After these 2 days, I will take my chinchin to my in laws and he will be safe.
p.s. the cat cannot stay locked because it start jumping on the door handle and cry louder and louder.
