Tail flicking
« on: August 14, 2011, 01:47:06 AM »
My chin flicks his tail when he's out chasing his towel

He did it in his cage one day as well

The tail flicking usually also comes with this odd laughing sound... Does anyone know if this a stressed out sign or happy sign ?? Or what does it mean ?

 ;D My older chin used to do that whenever I stuck my head in his cage. He would climb onto my head, then dig through my hair and wag his tail and laugh.
