Hey there, cool video. I used to breed gerbils but have debated with myself to get a rabbit or Chinchilla, the guys at the store say go with the Chinchilla, they seem very curious like gerbils and smart! I used to train my gerbils to jump out of the tank and walk on the edge and onto my hand, so I guess training a Chinchilla is cool too! Do they like to play with humans a lot? They seem friendly, the ones in the stores sometimes seem hyper.
I also trained him to go to a target (an edible chinchilla couch) to receive a treat. I show him the treat, point to the couch and he sits on it, then I give him the treat.
O: , my chinchilla did that with his run around ball :f, we had to trun the lights off in the house and tran the cat to look but not hurt him , it worked :), he found him in the bath room and sat there and meowed at us xD
just go in small steps and reward everything your chinchilla does right with their favorite treat
for example, as a first step you should leave the jar lid very very loose. this way, it is easy for your chin to figure out that the lid must be removed to gain access to the treats.
looks like my mucki
