just wondered

[boodle]

i have 3 chinchillas and i just wondered if they r ment 2 b smart cos 1 thows its self at walls 1 avoids the walls but hits chair legs but the girl is really really good or is it just cos girls r smarter?

I've got 4 of them and when they get going they speed around the room jumping onto the wall to bounce around a corner. They do sometimes run into chair legs and I have often wondered if they have poor eyesight. That combined with the speed they can move at could explain the bumps into furniture.
