kind of a weird question...
« on: April 09, 2009, 06:01:00 PM »

I've had my chinchilla Burrito for about a month or so now and i noticed when he is outside of his cage playing he loves to jump on soft stuff like my blankets... well one time he was jumping on my blankets and sort of "needing" them like a cat followed by some guinee pig sort of noises which im guessing was a happy noise... then i smelled urine.  im wondering if they mark their territorys? This has happened multiple times to random soft objects. someone suggested to me that maybe he was "doing the dirty" to it but i didnt see any sort of thrusting.  if anyone has had a similar experiance pelase let me know im not sure if he is just a happy peeing chinchilla or if he is trying to kill my blankets lol.  it only seems to happen when he is needing on a blanket or a teddy bear.

I have not seen that one but have seen them do strange things to strange objects.
Some like to rub against things like sneakers,or a stuffed toys.
I would think he saying "I like this and it's mine".
I Know a gal who's chin would pee on her and she trained her to stop.
You could see anything from them.
 ;D

It does sound like it's pleasing him.
I would try and stop the peeing if it were my chin. ::nod::
