8:00 a.m.__________Active Active!!! Running and
hopping around. When they saw us, they stick their nose out of the cage bar
hoping to get some goods from us and they usually did get a sunflower seed.
Good morning! Hey, give us raisin!!!
10:00 a.m.___________Chinchillas are only active during
dust and night so in daytime, they need to have enough sleep. The strange
thing appears to us is that the males usually sleep in open area as the femals, most of
the time, sleep in hidden places such as sleepbox.
.
12:00 p.m._________Very sleepy.......but it's time for
us to clearn up their cage. Not everyday, but they will have a dust bath every
two to three days. Depends on their fur. We don't give them dust bath on a
everyday basic because they seem to scratch alot more of skin dryness...
It's dust. It's dust.....hummmm feel so good :)
4:00 p.m.________In daytime, they are not goint to sleep the whole
day. They get hungry and will half waken up to have something to eat and
drink. Although they look so sleepy but if we offer them treats, they will be
active.....with their eyes half close and eating...
I want to sleep but I am hungry....I want to sleep.....I am hungry...
8:00 p.m._________Time for fun! Time for free run! Is their
active time so it's time to let them have some excerise except just running on their
wheels. Some of them don't mind to play together but some don't. So we need to split
them into two groups and give them free run in different time.
AAAh! Free run is fun for me.
Hi, see you again. How's going?
Eating the paint off the wall
Stealing raisin to eat...
(................) Hey that's enough!!! You naughty furballs! Ok, time to get home (sigh^_^)
10:30 p.m.___________Every time they get back to their cage, we will give
them a raisin each as a reward of getting to their "own" cage by
themselves. So usually, when we get out the raisin and by the time they know (we
make sound out of the bottle) we are going to give them goodies, they will, most of
the time, rush back to their cage nicely and wait for their snacks by sticking their nose
out of the cage bar.
11:00 p.m.___________Usually they will get tired after their free run
time so they will rest for a while. And most often, we will see all of them sleep in
their side so we assume that they are very tired ^ ^
Let's have a little rest first..
11:30 p.m.__________After their enough rest, they get active and noisy
again (......)
Running in a wheel is a good excercise for me. Humm..
