How long does it take for a chinchilla to be close to people?

With the following method, a week is fine.

1) Hand it to Totoro often.

Food, for example, feed chinchilla grass granules and dry food as a staple food, and hand feed him hay as snacks; Or when Totoro is hungry, you can hand him the food to eat before putting it in the bowl.

2) After a few days, hand the chinchilla to eat the food, then put the food in the palm of your hand, put your hand on the door of the cage, and let the chinchilla smell it himself. After the first few days of feeding, chinchillas at this time usually smell the palm of their owner's hand, and then tentatively climb up to the palm of their hand to get food. At this time, don't move, continue to put food in the palm of your hand, so that Totoro feels that it is safe to eat in the palm of your hand.

3) After a few days of palm feeding, when chinchillas habitually squat in the palm of your hand to eat, gently stroke his head or chin with the other hand (note, don't be in a hurry to touch the back, some chinchillas hate people touching the back). After a few days, Totoro will happily crouch in the palm of your hand to eat and enjoy your petting at the same time.

4) Then, when Totoro squatted in the palm of your hand to eat, gently and slowly moved his hand out of the cage door, Totoro felt the movement of the owner's hand, and he would be a little panicked, but because he had been in the owner's hand for a long time, he should continue to eat with peace of mind after hesitating for a while.

5) When Totoro gets used to the gentle movement of the owner's hand, the owner can slowly and steadily move his hand to his chest, leaning on the front chest, and then continue to caress him gently, give him delicious food, and form an encircled shape with his hands and arms. After a few times like this, Totoro will get used to the arms of his owner.

After completing steps 4) and 5), you are basically considered successful.

If it's fast, it's okay in a week.

Studies have shown that a chinchilla that has just been brought home, because it has left the familiar environment where it has been living, will appear very sensitive, nervous, sometimes more irritable and vicious, sometimes show a state of biting, they will bite the cage frequently, do not rest, refuse to eat, etc. In this case, Totoro is more afraid of people and is hostile to people.

Of course, after chinchillas get acquainted with their environment, they will become very friendly and friendly to people. Of course, to achieve this state, over a long period of time, the breeder and chinchilla should be familiar with each other and build a bridge of trust. Note that it will take time for Totoro to clear his doubts and integrate into his new living environment.

My neighbor totoro will behave like a special family member after confessing his master. Before acknowledging its owner, chinchillas may bite and the owner will be aware of being frightened, which will make it feel scared and reluctant to get close to its owner. Raising chinchillas is still more worry-free, and whoever can satisfy its stomach will be close to whomever it is.

Although not as good as cats and dogs, chinchillas are actually more affectionate, because they can know that their owners are always with them, feed themselves, and treat themselves very well, and they will be especially careful when treating people other than their owners.

At the beginning of breeding, it is inevitable to be bitten by chinchillas, and they are very timid, and they will not show the appearance of relatives until they get acquainted with their owners. And the owner should be careful not to frighten the chinchilla at ordinary times, which will make him scared of you and become less and less affectionate.

Keeping chinchillas is more worry-free than having cats and dogs, as long as you have a clean diet ready? and a clean environment on the line. However, chinchillas' stomach is very fragile, so pay attention to scientific collocation when feeding, and don't feed indiscriminately.

1. Behavioral performance

Totoro can actively approach humans, playing, observing, or sleeping next to them. When approached by humans, chinchillas may exhibit behaviors such as lying on their stomachs, standing up, or observing human movements. In addition, chinchillas may also jump on the ground or gently slap humans when interacting with humans, and even exhibit behaviors such as screaming, curling, and laughing.

In the family environment, Totoro can travel close to one or several humans, and show more closeness, enthusiasm, and dependence on these humans.

2. Sound performance

When Totoro interacts with humans, it tends to make vocalizations to express emotion. For example, when they first meet, Totoro will make a chirping sound; When Totoro is happy and relaxed, it purs and purses; And when chinchillas feel pain, fear, or surprise, they make high-pitched, screaming sounds.

3. Physical performance

My Neighbor Totoro is also very physically expressive when interacting with humans. For example, chinchillas will stretch their bodies, spread their ears, wag their tails, etc., to express their mood; When frightened or frightened, chinchillas will constrict, curl or hide; On the other hand, when Totoro feels happy or comfortable, he will break down and stretch the clean and fluffy hair of his limbs, showing an extremely cute and gentle appearance.

4. Food performance

Totoro is very fond of eating certain foods such as vegetables, fruits, and certain nuts. When Totoro sees a human he likes, he will take the initiative to approach, it will jump on your arm or shoulder, look at you with cute and enthusiastic eyes, and even stretch out its front paws to indicate that it wants to taste the food in its hand, which is also one of the ways for Totoro to express closeness.
