Chinchilla Pet Care brought to you by Doolittle's Pet Stores... Caring for your Chinchilla These medium sized 'Furry' animals make ideal pets. Chinchillas are rodents, native to the Andean mountain area of South America. Chinchillas are a protected species in the wild. The ones offered for sale have been bred in this country. They are active in the evenings but are not purely a nocturnal animal. Chinchillas are available in a variety of colours: - light medium grey, beige, black velvet, mosaic, silver and white being the most popular.
Their life span is 15-20 years. Housing
Chinchillas of either sex may be kept singly, but if you wish to keep a pair then must be of a single sex and must both be purchased as babies and at the same time.
A breeding pair should be at least seven months old before the female is introduced to the male.
Chinchillas do not like damp or draughty conditions.

Today chinchillas are raised for both purposes pets and pelts. Dried fruit and nuts are excellent treats for the pet chinchilla.

Chinchillas Chinchilla Facts Life Span Environment Temperature Range Body Temperature Gestation Period 111 days Litter Size
2 (average) Weaning Age 6-8 weeks
Chinchilla laniger is the main species bred today. They tend to be fairly clean, odorless and friendly pets, but usually are shy and easily frightened. They do not make very good pets for young children, since they tend to be high strung and hyperactive (both the child and the pet). The fur is extremely soft and beautiful bluish grey in color, thus leading to their popularity in the pelt industry. Current color mutations include white, silver, beige and black.
Diet
Timothy, or other grass hay, can be fed to chinchillas in addition to their pellets. Alfalfa hay is not recommended due to its high calcium content relative to phosphorus. Hay is a beneficial supplement to the diet for nutritional and psychological reasons. Grass hay adds additional fiber to the diet, while serving as an item for the pet to chew on other than its fur. Any hay fed should be free from mold and vermin contamination.
Dried fruit and nuts are excellent treats for the pet chinchilla. Raisins tend to be a favorite treat among these animals. Fresh carrot and green vegetables can also be provided, but in moderation. Remember, these supplements to the diet should constitute less than 10% of the food intake.

Provide the largest cage possible for your chinchilla. A minimum size appropriate would be around 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Galvanized wire cages are good (plastic will be chewed to bits), with mesh small enough to keep your chin's feet from slipping through. Solid floors are best for your animal's feet, but must be cleaned daily. Wire bottomed cages (the most common) can be cleaned weekly, but place wooden platforms placed over some parts of the wire to allow your chin a solid floor to move to. The "condos" with multiple levels and platforms are ideal, because they offer more usable floor space and allow your chinchilla some room to climb. A pull out tray under each level will make cleaning easier, and should be filled with a dustless absorbent litter, such as aspen shavings or paper-based commercial bedding. If your cage doesn't have platforms for climbing, a sturdy branch or other climbing toy should be provided. You should also give your pet a hide box or cave for inside its cage. This will give your pet a secure place to hide when it wants to sleep or feels upset. Wooden ones are most common because they offer more chewing material, but they may need to be replaced regularly if they can't be cleaned properly. The entire cage and all accessories should be cleaned weekly, or more often if needed. Disinfection should be a monthly task, or after an illness. Cage Location
The chinchilla cage should be located in a quiet part of your house. It should have good ventilation, be free of hot and cold drafts, and be away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Because of their thick fur, and mountainous native climates, chinchillas are susceptible to overheating in captivity. The best temperature for your pet is 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, which is typically room temperature. Keep in mind that anything on or near the cage has the possibility of being chewed and eaten, so keep things like curtains, cage cleaning supplies, and electrical cords at least 12 inches away from the cage.

Chinchillas
Chinchillas are appealing creatures and are becoming more popular as pets. They are closely related to the porcupine and the guinea pig. They originate from South America. Chinchillas are small and squirrel like. They are very shy animals and can be easily frightened. They are clean and odourless. Their fur is very soft and can be bluish grey, white, silver, beige or black. The female is larger than the male. If pregnant, she can produce 1-5 babies, usually two. Sexual maturity is reached at 8 months and she will be pregnant for 111 days. Babies are weaned at 6-8 weeks and chinchillas usually live for around 10 years. Chinchillas are basically nocturnal. However, in captivity, they can be active through the day. In fact, chinchillas are very active and acrobatic therefore they require as much space as your can give them. A minimum floor space would be I m x 2m and 2m high per chinchilla. Cages must be wire mesh and not wooden. A nest box must be provided of approximately 3Ox25x2Ocm.

Description
These beautiful creatures are members of the rodent family. The Latin word for rodent is rodere which means 'to gnaw'. Fully grown they are about 12 inches long and weigh between 18 - 35 ounces, the female being bigger than the male. They are similar in size to a small rabbit with squirrel-like tails. Chinchillas have more fur per square inch than any other known animal.
Chinchillas are nocturnal animals and so they sleep during the day and become more active at night. They are easy to look after, rarely aggressive, very clean and have practically no smell at all. Their fur is so dense that they do not attract fleas or parasites. Once used to the handler they can be very affectionate and love to be scratched under the chin and behind the ears. Chinchillas are becoming very popular pets, however, it is well to remember that they can live for up to 20 years (the average is about 10 years) and must therefore be accommodated appropriately within the home. If you do not have time for a long-term pet then a chinchilla is NOT for you.

http://www.2ndchance.info/chinchilla.htm
Chinchillas as Pets Ron Hines DVM PhD 4/30/04 Chinchillas make excellent pets. Pet chinchillas produce very little odor. Pet chinchillas do well on guinea pig diets. Unlike guinea pigs pet chinchillas live much longer and do not require vitamin C. Pet chinchilllas do well alone or in pairs. Pet chinchillas do not do well in hot humid climates. Pet chinchillas do not require large amounts of space. Pet chinchillas produce very little fluf or dander. Pet chinchillas are quite intellegent. Pet chinchillas become very tame and friendly if they are purchased young. Pet chinchilllas get along well with other family pets. Pet chinchillas may never become tame if they are purchased as adults. chinchilla ca r Chinchillas are quick, nimble animals. They have many characteristics that make them good pets even though they are high-strung, and have relatively short attention spans. These good qualities include a lack of odor, beautiful soft lush fur, an inquisitive, boisterous nature no objectionable noise. They are low maintenance pets.
Chinchilla personalities are determined during their first month of age. They need to be handled and petted frequently after they are born or they will grow up aloof and aggressive. An ideal age to purchase them is 10 weeks of age. Check both the parents and the youngster for problems before you become attached to a Chinchilla. Be cautious of watery or pasty eyes, drooling (tooth alignment problems), wool pulling or missing areas of fur. I prefer to buy directly from a breeder I trust or one who willingly supplies me with satisfied contacts who have purchased her animals. Most of the problem animals I see were purchased through pet stores. Common problems I see in pet store purchased chinchillas are wool pulling due to boredom and stress and malocclusion due to improper diet and genetics. Aggression is a problem in animals not socialized to people at a young enough age.

How to Care for Chinchillas
These fur-bearing relatives of the guinea pig and porcupine make excellent pets, though they're shy and easily frightened. Most live 8 to 10 years; some can live to 18. Steps: Have your new chinchilla examined by a veterinarian who specializes in small or exotic animals, and continue to bring her in for regular check-ups as recommended. Feed your chinchilla commercially prepared rabbit pellets mixed with alfalfa and grass hay. Give dried fruits as treats, but in moderation. These supplements should make up only 10 percent of the entire food intake. Supply a water bottle, and change the water daily. Provide a wire mesh cage, with or without a solid floor, of at least 3 by 3 by 3 feet'more than adequate for one chinchilla during playtime. Be sure the cage is located in a cool, dry, and draft-free area, preferably in a temperature range of 60 to 70 degrees F. Keep your chinchilla's cage indoors to provide better temperature control.

Choosing a Chinchilla
If you are looking for a chinchilla, it is best to purchase one from a responsible breeder. Pet stores may not know a great deal about chinchillas and you might end up with an unhealthy animal. Most breeders will have their chinchillas on a good diet and make sure they are healthy. Breeders will more than likely be able to tell you more about your new pet than a pet store clerk.
In the wild chinchillas live in colonies, so it is possible to keep more than one in a cage. A chinchilla can also lead a happy life living alone, with the proper attention from you, the owner. If you decide to keep more than one chinchilla there are some decisions to make. If you have a male and a female together you will end up with babies. Taking care of a new mother and her kits is a lot of work so make sure you are prepared for that. Also, make sure that the male and female are not related. If you want to have more than one chinchilla but do not want any kits, there are some other combinations that will work. You can have two females or two males in the same cage. This works out best if it is mother/daughter, father/son or two sisters, or two brothers from the same litter.
It is possible to match two unrelated, same-sex chinchillas, but this cannot be guaranteed. If you are purchasing a play mate for a current chinchilla pet it would be a good idea to get a return guarantee, based on whether or not it will get along with your current chinchilla. This process can take up to a month so you will want to discuss this with the breeder. You will have to introduce them slowly and watch how they interact with one another. If they get along and there is no aggressive behavior, you may cage them together. If they don't seem to get along, put them in separate cages and set the cages next to each other, with a couple of inches in between so that they cannot fight between the bars. Try allowing them to play together during their free out-of-cage time, supervised, every night until you know whether they will get along.

http://www.petloversonline.co.uk/chinchillas.htm
CHINCHILLAS Hello, chin lovers, wherever you are! So, you are thinking about getting a chinchilla.
WARNING!! Although these furry, nocturnal creatures are cute and cuddly their favourite pastime is gnawing everything and anything in sight. So, if they are to be given liberty to run around please be aware of this fact. LIFE SPAN - A chinchilla's life span is between 18-22 years. ADVANTAGES As they sleep all day, they are just waking up when everyone's coming home and therefore can be ideal for someone who works all day, wants a pet, and doesn't want to feel guilty for leaving it all day. Fun to watch. Cannot be housetrained but relatively clean with hardly any odour. DISADVANTAGES Their gnawing habits. The fact that they really need to sleep, undisturbed, during the day which may disappoint children. CARE
Chinchillas should be given as large a cage as possible to live in, even if they will be let out in the evenings for a romp around. Good example of a Chinchilla Cage Click here, and then on Fluff the Chinchilla to see it. They will require items in the cage to gnaw on (apple tree branches, unprinted cardboard, etc.) to while away the hours. When I first got my chins, their home was a standard two shelf, completely wire-mesh affair. The first thing I did was to extend it upwards. However, I still was not happy, especially as sand flew everywhere each night even though I put a sheet around the bottom of the cage. I ended up covering a double wardrobe. They now have lots of tunnels (old carpet tubes), shelves, half a tree and sawdust on the floor. The doors stop the sand flying everywhere too!
