Tribble being a little stinker- barking

So, I had a terrible night last night. Long story short: My boyfriend and I bought a new mattress, he snores like a freight train and I couldn't sleep for the life of me! I got so irritated that I drug the old mattress up the steps and plopped it down on the floor in the chinchilla room. I figured maybe, just maybe, I could get some sleep! I lay down and close my eyes trying to catch some ZZZzzzs. Tribble starts barking and just won't quit! He sounds like a squeaky toy! I turn on the lights to see what is going on and try to console him with a treat. He takes it, but just holds it in his mouth and runs around. He finally does eat it, but slowly. This is weird. He has never done this before, EVER. He always gobbles up his treats. I think, "Whatever, I'm tired" and turn the lights off. Don't ya know, that little stinker starts barking again within minutes. I give him a kiwi stick and he shows no interest. I pick him up and hold him for a couple minutes. This does the trick, because I was finally able to fall asleep.



Now, I know chinchillas bark for all kinds of reasons. When I was giving them their dust baths earlier in the night, he barked a few times too. I wondered if he barked like this every night and I just never heard him? Could it be he wants me out of his space?



I kinda just wanted to share because I thought it was interesting. Should I be concerned at all with him not wanting the treat?



This morning he was acting normal, as far as I could tell!
