Question
i have two chinchillas that live in the front room. But i also have a young chocolate labrador female who loves to chase and annoy them. The other day she knocked their cage down and injured one of them. How can i stop her petrifying them?

Answer
Hi Charlotte,

I am sorry to say that at this point, there is probably nothing you can do to stop your dog's behavior. I suggest you either guarantee the separation of dog and chinchilla, or place the chinchillas. Dogs are animals, and unless you do serious behavior modification, they will do what comes naturally.

Best of luck,
Laura
