Training Chinchillas

Ive had my Chinchilla for about 6 months now and he is really tame. Ive not done anything special apart from just give him plenty of attention and he gets a treat when he comes to me. When i originally bought him he was with his brother who died a couple of weeks after i bought them. This encouraged me to pay even more attention to my chinchilla (called Boris) as he was obviously looking lost without his brother. Now Boris sqeaks and beeps at me and always tries to jump on me.

Just let the Chinchilla get use to YOU, not the other way round. After a few months they'll be excited to see you and probably bouce everywhere like mine does.

a chinchilla generally does not like to be touched, but some chinchillas, after becoming attached to their owners( whitch usually only happens if it rarely sees anyone other than the owner) will allow , and in fact, enjoy, having their throats rubbed and in some cases( like my chin, an ebony called guinness) actually like to be held and petted on their back. it is possible to train your chinchilla to play simple games with you, such as "tug of war" (guinness loves doing this with the drawstrings to my windowblinds). there really is no set way to train your pet, once it(and this may never happen at all, through no fault of the owner) becomes accustemed to you. my chin has no set scheduale for feeding( he always has a full bowl) and i let him out at least twice a day, sometimes as long as 6 hours. as i am always in the room when he is let out of his cage, he has become somewhat attached to me and will come when i call his name, follow me around the room, and jump all over me to get my attention so ill play with him. he will try to climb my pant legs sometimes, until i put him on my shoulder and occasionally even grooms me. im really not sure why he does this, i did nothing to train him, i just sorta treated him like you would a spoiled cat. if anyone can explain his odd( if lovable) BEHAVIOR TO ME, ID BE GRATEFUL.
