I believe this topic would fit here but sorry if it doesn't. I am a new chinchilla owner and purchased a standard grey from Petsmart, the person who sold me her was very kind and they came right up and me. It was saturday the 17th and she was making great progress as in coming out and being social till yesterday the 21st. As of today she will not come out of her home when wide awake unless I am out of the room and the lights are off, around 1:00 AM last night basically. She is still being kind looking at me and moving as if to ask for me to scratch her and she lets me pet her, scratch around her ears which she leans for, and rub her tummy but she won't leave her house. Is this normal or do I need to do something else? I have read quite a bit but do not know everything so any idea's as to what might be happening or if this is normal would be appreciated. I understand that it takes time but any suggestions for what to do now and next would also be appreciated.
Thank you.
