    Chinchillas are small, furry rodents that are native to the Andes mountains in South America. They have soft, dense fur, large ears, and big, expressive eyes. Chinchillas are known for their playful and curious nature and can make great pets for those willing to provide them with the proper care and attention.
    As pets, chinchillas are low-maintenance and relatively easy to care for. They require a cage with plenty of room to climb and play, a diet of high-quality hay and chinchilla pellets, and regular dust baths to keep their fur clean and healthy.

    You forgot to mention they have the thickest coats of any animal in the world. If you live in a warm country, you need air conditioning. For this reason, is also why you can't hug them, they will struggle outta your hands because it gets too hot. You can't water bathe them unless they have skin conditions or handled by a professional Chinchilla groomer. That's why they powder bath.

  • @ellalien9623

    All are true! I have two chinchillas. Just gonna clarify when he says “bathe” he means dust baths NEVER use water.
    Edit:thank you for 17k likes!
    The reason you don’t use water is chinchillas should be dry, using water can make them very sick. This is because their fur is very dense when wet making it a long long process of drying to where the chinchilla may get pneumonia.

    0:01 Chinchillas have a very sensitive digestive system and should not be eating fresh fruits and veggies. Also people should know that they need temps around 70F or below. They overheat easy and can die from heat stroke if it gets upto 75F.

    DO NOT BUY A CHINCHILLA FROM A PET STORE. most of the people that own a chinchilla are not aware of the proper care and there are so many that die every year due to those same people not caring for them correctly. i worked in a pet store and i can promise you the majority of people that get pets in general (not even just chinchillas) are no where near ready to own an animal. people come into stores like that with absolutely no knowledge and expect people with literally little to no history of care with those animals to tell them how to keep the animal. none of the people i worked with were educated enough on any of the animals in our care. i’m studying zoology in college and spend my free time also researching animals, so i knew more than the managers and the person that was in charge of the animals. not to mention, i had experience and years of research on the animals we kept. i can also reassure you that the care IN STORES is not even up to par either! i can’t tell you how many times i had to try to correct the people i worked with because i actually knew what i was talking about and they would say “it’s policy to do it this way” like???? it’s POLICY to harm these animals with improper care?? nice. i could also go on about how the people they receive the animals from are even WORSE with their care! in my first week working at the pet store we had a chinchilla come in and i found one with a prolapsed colon! it ended up having to be rushed to the animal ER and got put down. a couple months later we got more in and they BOTH died due to intestinal issues! there is some shit going down with these big breeders that pet stores are supplied by. DO NOT support them. it sucks the animals have to suffer in the store, but supporting them and giving them your money is only going to make them breed and neglect more until they die as well. if you are serious about a Chinchilla PLEASE DO EXTENSIVE RESEARCH. they are very delicate animals and if you get them wet they will more than likely get hypothermia and die!!! their fur is not meant to get wet. they need regular dust baths, lots of room to move and explore, and it’s best to get two so they will have a buddy. they are a lot of responsibility and ANY animal is a huge responsibility that should never be taken lightly. too many people buy animals on impulse and end up killing it. those people should honestly be in prison for animal neglect.

      They take a ridiculous amount of care. They can't be kept at temperatures above 22°C (70°F) and fans don't work, only ACs.
      They can't be bathed in water, only dust. The water can kill them.
      They have to be let out of the cage occassionally (preferably at least once a day) to run around in a safe room where they can't chew anything they're not supposed to or run away or hurt themselves.
      And their digestive system is very delicate, they can't release gases, so if they eat something wrong there's a good chance they'll die.
      On top of all that, they're rodents, and are very sensitive to stress, and have delicate eyes and ears, which means that very strong sounds or flashing lights can seriously hurt them.
      And then there's also the matter of compatibility with other members of their species: the females are fierce and very dominant and if they don't like a male they can be very dangerous to him.

    Chinchillas need A LOT of space.
    Plus they can gnaw wires, furniture and jump really really high, even jump off windows.
    My cousin used to have chinchillas. In her old house, she had a room only for them, and believe me when I say, they reduced to wood chips a whole wardrobe she had put in there for them. An even so, they still looked like they needed more space to jump, they are like tiny kangaroos. I don't belive everybody can take care of tiny kangaroos properly at their house.
    When she moved from that house to a rent loft, with lots of furniture, no doors, plenty of windows, a balcony, she could not free the chinchillas around from the cage and therefore had to bring them back to the pet shop😔
    So please, think wisely before getting one🥺

      Absolutely not. All kits should have full access to mum at all times, unless you’re prepared to hand feed every 2 hours 24/7.

    It’s important to know that these adorable animals are not for everyone. They really don’t like to be handled and they will freak out and shake until they have a heart attack. Small children should not be allowed to handle them.
    They Cannot get wet or they will get really sick and can die. Their fur is so thick that they’ll never fully dry.
    They ARE NOT potty trainable and just crap and pee all over the place if you let them roam freely. They can and will get into the wall. They can and will chew every cord in your home, every piece of wood furniture (and the varnish and other chemicals can kill them).
    They need chew toys to keep their teeth filed down or they will grow and poke thru their skin around their mouths.
    They are nocturnal. So unless you’re a night owl this little guy will chill and nap all day and bounce all over his cage all night!
    And lastly, they live about 20 years. So if you aren’t looking for a long term commitment this precious baby is not for you!

    1. Chinchillas should never be bathed with water due to the density of their fur. Water will just mold on their fur. Occasionally offer a dust bath.
    2. Chinchillas are not super docile and cuddle pets. They often don't enjoy being handled UNLESS you happen to find one with a really good temperament and it's handled from a young age to get it used to handling.
    If you want a small pet that is super cuddly and playful and very clean, research rats. From experience they are very loyal and often *love* to be handled because they are social animals, rats groom themselves and other rats constantly throughout the day and throughout most of their lives.

    They also need to be in a room with nice temperatures. Too hot or too cold can kill them. If it is too hot they need a slab called a Chinchiller. Also make sure to give them plenty of hay as their teeth keep on growing, even the back ones.
    My little guy, Tequila, gets two handfuls of hay everyday. He goes through it quickly. Also make sure to chinchilla proof your room when letting them out. As they can get into a ton of mischief.

    theyre also real damn shy, and you can't read them instinctually the way you might with a dog or cat. Also they shit a lot and everywhere, s that's that.

    They’re also considered exotic animals so if they ever have any health complications, your vet bill will be incredibly expensive. Easily 4x what you might expect for a cat or dog.
