Caring for your chinchilla Chinchillas originate from the Andes in South America and are related to guinea pigs. They are basically nocturnal, but can be quite active during the day. They rarely bite, but care must be taken when handling them because they can "slip" their fur, resulting in bald patches. General information Life expectancy is 10 years or more. Chinchillas do not reproduce as freely as other small mammals. They are sexually mature at 8 months and the young, usually two, are born fully developed after a gestation period of 111 days. Housing Feeding Guinea pig or rabbit food can be offered as well as food sold specifically for chinchillas. It is advisable to supplement their diet with fresh or dried fruit, grass and nuts; raisins are a favourite. A change of diet must be done slowly. Fresh water from a wall-mounted bottles should be available at all times. Signs of disease Although these animals may suffer from several diseases the use of an adequate diet and good housing will minimise the risk of illness. Signs to look for are:

28. Care And Feeding Of Chinchillas A welltaken care of chinchilla can remain in your family anywhere from six to loveto jump, run and play, wire cages are most suitable for pet chinchillas. http://drexotic.com/care_chinchillas.htm

Care and Feeding of Chinchillas By Christine Hancock Chinchillas make wildly amusing, playful, as well as loveable pets. A well-taken care of chinchilla can remain in your family anywhere from six to ten years or more. The average male chinchilla weighs between 400-500 grams, while the females can reach 600 grams. Chinchillas love to play, so they require lots of attention from their owners. Supervised playtime is the best way for you and your chinchilla to interact and bond. Since they love to chew and are extremely curious, check that electrical cords, toxic plants, or anything breakable is out of reach of your chinchilla. Grooming/Bathing One unique characteristic of the chinchilla is their bathing habit. Unlike most mammals, the chinchilla does not require a bath in water. Instead, they take dust baths. A wet bath will strip the chinchillas fur of its natural oils which protect their skin and help regulate body temperature. A dry bath is done with dust that can be purchased at your local pet shop, or from most chinchilla breeders. For approximately ten minutes, every day or every other day, place a small dish of the dusting mixture in your pet’s cage. Sit back and watch as your chinchilla rolls, flips, and plays in the dust! It is always best to remove the dusting container immediately after a bath to prevent the dust from being soiled with feces, food, or bedding.

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!

Whether you choose a Syrian (teddy bear, golden) hamster or a dwarf hamster as a pet, taking proper care of the hamster will help keep your hamster happy and healthy, and give you a more rewarding relationship with your pet. The following are my recommendations for books to help you take care of your pet hamster. Hamsters A to Z By Lorraine Hill (who also has good hamster information on her web site), this is an excellent all-around introductory hamster book. In addition to care information, Hill discusses the various species and colorations found among hamsters including dwarf hamsters. Dwarf Hamsters: Complete Pet Owner's Manual This book is fairly unique among hamster books since it is entirely about dwarf hamsters. By Sharon L. Vanderlip DVM, the book follows the format used by other books in the Barron's series and is packed with care and health information as well as helpful tips and great photos. An excellent choice for dwarf hamster owners.

General Pet Care Feeding information 1. You should always feed your chinchilla once a day using chinchilla pellets. You should be able to find chinchilla pellets at your local pet store or even a mill. 2. Additionally you should be sure to have a water bottle readily available to your chinchilla which should be changed daily because the water tends to get dirty if you leave it in there for several days due to the chinchillas backwashing slightly. 3. We highly recommend that you purchase Chinchilla Supplemen t from us, because it provides many of the vitamins needed in your chinchillas diet. 4. Your chinchilla's teeth tend to get overgrown if they do not have something to chew on(which is why they like to chew on everything they see!) To prevent your chinchilla's teeth from becomnig overgrown, we suggest your purchase Hay Cubes from us. Exercise and Health 1. To keep your chinchilla in good health, we suggest that you get it out of the cage once a day and let it run around for a little while. Generally about a half hour to an hour is good enough to keep your chinchilla happy and healthy. 2. Chinchillas are generally more active at night than during the day which is actually good because your chinchilla will sleep while you're at work, and usually by the time you get back, he's ready to go.

36. FAQ How long do chinchillas live? What can I feed my chinchilla? You should read our sectionabout pet care because it gives you most of the general chinchilla http://www.chinchilla4sale.com/FAQ.html

Frenquently Asked Questions(FAQ) Who do you get your breeding stock from? We get all of our breeding stock from the Ryerson's chinchilla ranch, which is about 3 hours from here. They are some of the best breeders in Ohio, and have won just about every award offered to a chinchilal breeder. What type of food do you feed? We currently feed Provico, but it's ok if you don't have the same feed, we include a little bit of feed and supplement with each of our chinchillas so you can easily ween them off of our feed onto yours if it's different. Is it okay to have a chinchilla around little kids? Chinchillas make great pets for families because they have a super temperment for everyone. Very very very rarely will you ever hear of a chinchilla biting someone. In fact, in all the years we've been in the chinchilla business, we've only had one incident where a chinchilla bit us. Additionally, chinchillas are very easily tamed and will quickly be very calm around you and your family, which is why they have become such a popular pet How long do chinchillas live This question varies from place to place....I've heard many different answers, but the most common answer I hear is that they live anywhere from 12-25 years of age. Of course all that depends on how well they are maintained and the quality of chinchilla that you have.

Chinchillas Keeko the Chinchilla Pippin the Chinchilla Chinchilla laniger Family: Chinchillidae (Chinchillas and Viscachas) "The Chinchilla's exceedingly soft, dense coat is the cause of it's present extreme rarity in the wild" See other chinchilla color varieties Chinchillas have the finest fur of all the mammals which makes them very soft. They make good pets and are very lively. Keeko loves to go outside in the long grass (on a leash) to jump and play. Pippin is actually Keekos' father! Pippin likes to be left alone more than Keeko, probably because he was in a breeding situation for several years. In the wild they live 18 - 20 years. Description: Chinchillas are an adorable animal with long ears, large eyes and bushy tails. Their tail looks like a squirrels' tail and accounts for about one third of their length. Nowadays there are different colored chinchillas including white and beige chinchillas. Keeko and Pippin are called grey chinchillas. There are about 6 species in this family (Chinchillidae) and all are found only in South America. All species have dense, beautiful fur, and the importance of the Chinchillas, in particular, to the fur trade has led to their becoming relatively endangered as a wild species. The hind limbs of the Chinchillidae are longer than their forelimbs, and the animals are good at running and leaping; they are also good climbers. They feed on plants, including roots and tubers, and their cheek teeth grow throughout life. Social animals, they live in small family groups which are part of larger colonies of 100 or more. Where the ground is suitable, they dig burrows, but otherwise they shelter under rocks. They feed on available vegetation, sitting up to eat and holding their food in their front paws.

40. Pet Corral Chinchilla Information And Care chinchillas have unique personalities, that make them a gentle, curious and loyallittle pet. How you care for your Chin will determine how they fare as a pet. http://www.petcorral.net/chin.html

Chinchilla Care The chinchilla is a native of Chile, where it lived at an elevation of about 5000 feet in the Andes Mountains. In the early 1920's, the Chinchilla was almost extinct, thanks to the Indians using the Chin for fur, and the Red Fox enjoying them as a meal. In 1923, Mr. M.F. Chapman brought nineteen Chinchillas to California, away from the dangers of Chile, where he sold breed colonies of them throughout the United States. They did very well in almost every area. Until 1980's, few Chins were sold as pets because of their aggressive nature. In 1984, ABH Chinchilla Ranch developed a line of Chinchillas with a different attitude. Chinchillas have unique personalities, that make them a gentle, curious and loyal little pet. How you care for your Chin will determine how they fare as a pet. A Chinchilla will learn its name, and come when called, so you want to name them and use their name often. Handling Handling a Chinchilla has to be done properly, or you will hurt them. Their ribs are very fragile, and can be crushed easily. Always let your Chinchilla know your coming, as not to startle them. If cornered, they may bite. Once settled, put one hand behind your Chin, and slide your free hand under the abdomen. You may hold onto the tail, but always as close to the body as possible, to prevent you from injuring them. Now raise your pet, supporting its full weight. Never allow your Chin to hang or dangle. The Chin can then be placed against your chest. Support the Chin's rear end, so they don't feel like they will fall.
