    Do chinchillas designate a specific spot as their bathroom and consistently go there?

      Fun story about that: last week, Muffin was running around on our futon enjoying being somewhere she wasn’t supposed to be, when she suddenly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and made a face I can best describe as “toddler pooping in diaper”. She left a wet spot there as big as her that soaked all the way down to the mattress, which thankfully had a waterproof cover.

      No. Everywhere is the bathroom. Especially for girls; girls sometimes express their displeasure by spraying urine at you. Muffin doesn’t do that, though.

        Interesting. I saw the fabric and wondered.

        My mom had several pet rabbits over the years and they (at least hers) would pick a single spot. I wondered if chinchillas were the same.
