How do you get a chinchilla to love you so much it will cuddle with you while you watch TV?

Question

i want my chinchilla to be very social and cuddly

Answer 1

You can't force anything to be loving.  Leave it alone and enjoy it for what it is.  If you want something to cuddle get a stuffed animal.

Answer 2

First of all you have to get it to trust you. "set up" a series of "trust tests" a simple one like when it gets scared you could just comfort it by petting it and soothingly talking to it. hold it so tht it gets used the idea of human handeling. after a while u could softly cuddle with it if u take a nap.

Answer 3

Chinchillas do NOT like to be cuddled. End of story. If you want a pet like that, get a guinea pig or a rabbit. However, with a lot of training, you might be able to hold it for a little bit at most. Even this is not guaranteed with chinchillas, as they all have their own personalities and like different things.
