You just gotta treat him really nice and give it time.

you need to be firm with rodents. keep him in check and it'll trust you with it's mothers life. if you give him any breathing room you can expect the worst let me tell ya

Time is the key...Do they have chinchilla treats? Food goes a long way in developing trust in animals...and men, for that matter... happy

Try to give him food then pet him pick him up. Do it in the morning and in the night and soon he will start cooming up to u!!!

Do you know your Pet? How many books have you read this year on Chinchillas ? Visit you local Library and see what the Pet Section has on Chinchillas. You should always own at least one good reference book on your pet. I would not buy from a pet store that sold a pet and did not offer a great book on training, feeding, health and history of the animal.

Do some internet search, but the internet seems to give you just general or buried bleeps of info. You must have a good book. Can't make it to the Library and the Pet store or breeder let you down? Go to Amazon or Allibis and order you a book on Chinchillas.

But Time, Love and Food are always a good rule of thumb!
