Chinchilla Care - Biting Chins

Chinchillas bite for so many different reasons. These are the top reasons they will bite. If none of these applies to your pet, you could just have a chin with a behaviour problem. To stop this behaviour problem, try using a bach remedy, tiger lilly tincture. Give 2-5 drops depending if it is a water dish or water bottle, each day for two weeks. If there is no change please e-mail me. Make sure the tincture has no alcohol or very little.

Possible Reasons:

• Gold- Chins love gold
• Hands smelling of food
• Nail Polish
• If the chin has possibly felt threatened or been hurt
• If the chin is cornered in its cage when it bites

Anyone of the following are reasons why a chin may bite. Please do not think your chin has a behaviour problem if it only has bit you once. If quite often, than please try the tincture or e-mail me. The tincture (tiger lilly) is a Bach remedy that is used to animals when showing an aggressive side like this.
