Heh, when I got silver since first day she was super curious about everything. If I balled my hand up and put it in her cage she would slowly come over sniffing then try to stuck her nose into the fold between my fingers and hand. My father set up his computer room to be chinchilla friendly, it's wood floored and constantly kept clean so it is perfect. She goes nuts when we get her out running all over the place like a little grey streak and always gets into places she shouldn't be. I have found that a cat carrier is perfect for catching them as curiousity gets the best of them. Old carpet tunnels are great toys for them as they are long, non inked cardboard, and chinchilla's seem to feel safe in them. As said several times a dust bath can work but if things get desperate I have also taught mine that if I say this phrase "Where's silver?" she should come out to get one of her few treats for the day, Papaya is her favorite.
