Intro to Owning a Chinchilla!

Intro To have a pet chinchillas can be a very rewarding experience. These tiny creatures are known for having some of the softest leather in the world, perfect for hugging against. They can be a little 'when they get to know them, but once they hatch are very funny creatures. In this article I want to go into details of what will be necessary for your pet chinchilla and what behavior to expect from them. Chinchilla Animal behaviors are ideal for night owls like me. They are nocturnal animals so they like to sleep all day and go out and play at night. This can be a disadvantage if you have young children, especially since the chinchillas do not really care much for human interaction. If you are looking for a partner to hug might be better to get a hamster or guinea pig. I'm not mistaken chinchillas, who are pampered and spoiled from birth usually do not mind being handled, but if you buy at a pet store much more likely that your chinchilla will be quite shy around humans. Although sometimes shy, chinchillas are animals that we know very curious. They love to explore dark caves and you may be surprised at how small it can get into the holes. I also remember very well, so be sure not to go ahead with them or take if they are afraid. If you do, you can take a bit of forgiveness and garden! First, you need a cage, the bigger the better! The height is more important than width when buying a chinchilla cage. You want to ensure that there are more levels to the cage of a new form of the chin is a lot of space to jump. Be sure to buy some toys for him / her and, above all chew toys. Chinchilla will eat anything they can get in your teeth! The next, you need a "sand bath", these can be found in pet shops, but if a small aquarium will suffice. Do not forget the sand! Chinchilla coats have very thick, so instead of swimming in water that absorbed in the bathrooms above the sand. You also need to pick up some bedding to the cage, untreated pine shavings or recycled paper of the bed are the best options. When buying food, it is best to keep things simple. Chinchillas are very picky digestive system and can get sick if they eat the wrong food. Eat a diet of pellets, hay, and raisins occasionally to ensure the mind remains healthy. Make sure you have a bottle of water and solid meal too. Finally, the last item in the list and one of the most important is the box nest. This will be the start of Chinchilla in the day, so make sure it's nice and cozy. A wooden box with a small opening is ideal for this purpose. E 'on it for supplies. There are all kinds of toys you can take if you want to ruin my chin, I just listed all the essentials you need. Summary Overall, I would say the animals are chinchillas good enough. As I said, if you have small children, may be better with a hamster or guinea pig. But if you're looking for a stuffed animal 'cold that does not require much maintenance of a chinchilla is right for you.
