Just pet the giant mouse!! Ffs! 🥺
@Pandantic
She actually does not like being pet. She tolerates it as part of interacting with her humans, and she will climb all over me if able, but touching the royal person is usually forbidden. What she wants here is to be let out for floor time!I don’t know if I could stand that, the are sooooo soft!!
Do chinchillas designate a specific spot as their bathroom and consistently go there?

Fun story about that: last week, Muffin was running around on our futon enjoying being somewhere she wasn’t supposed to be, when she suddenly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and made a face I can best describe as “toddler pooping in diaper”. She left a wet spot there as big as her that soaked all the way down to the mattress, which thankfully had a waterproof cover.Haha! I’m convinced pets give you that look on purpose.
No. Everywhere is the bathroom. Especially for girls; girls sometimes express their displeasure by spraying urine at you. Muffin doesn’t do that, though.
Interesting. I saw the fabric and wondered.
My mom had several pet rabbits over the years and they (at least hers) would pick a single spot. I wondered if chinchillas were the same.
@LilB0kChoy
Nope. That said, they barely pee for a critter their size. They are very water-efficient desert critters. Their poop goes everywhere, though.Well Muffin is adorable anyway!
Hey! What’s that?! Is that chinchy treats! Don’t be hiding it from me! Hey! Don’t ignore me! Give it here!
