When a chinchilla trusts its owner, it sleeps on its side. When it sleeps, it doesn't mind showing its soft belly in front of its owner, which shows that it trusts the owner. Sometimes a chinchilla will sleep so deeply and relaxed that it will not wake up even if its owner touches it. If a chinchilla doesn't trust its owner, it will wake up at the slightest disturbance.

How to gain the trust of chinchillas

1. It is best to choose young chinchillas to raise. When selecting chinchillas, you can choose ones with a more affectionate personality.

2. Don’t scare it when you first bring it home, and don’t force it to touch it. Make sure it gets familiar with the environment and the owner’s smell first.

3. The owner feeds and water himself. During the feeding process, you can try to pet the chinchilla to see if it can dodge. If it dodges, the owner should stop touching it. It needs to be raised for a while before it can be touched again. Try it.

4. When the chinchilla is no longer afraid of its owner, you can try to interact with it and call it by its name more often so that it knows what its name is.

5. You can let it out of the cage regularly every day to let it get familiar with the room. It is best to buy some enclosures to prevent it from running around.
