The chinchilla, also known as the woolly mouse, likes to live in groups, has a gentle disposition and does not bite, lurks around the clock, likes to lie on its back and prefers a dry, cool environment. They like to eat juicy plants, bark, hay and seeds. Sandbathing is the most important habit of the woolly mouse, they like to roll and play in the sandbox, clean the body, and have the habit of rodent biting mouth.

There are about 16 colors of chinchillas, the most common being gray, which is cheaper, and the other colors are much more expensive. The most expensive gold-spotted color chinchillas cost around $3,000 to $5,000. The general price of chinchillas nowadays, the market is about 800 - 5000, and the lesser quality can be bought for about 300. I recommend buying 2-3 months old, such a chinchilla easy to feed, very good training is also easier to develop a relationship with the owner.

The chinchillas are naturally very curious and timid, they are interested in all new things. Out of the rodent's habit, can eat can not eat all like to swallow, this point should be extra careful oh. The most amazing thing about chinchillas is that they have their own expressions, and they also like to be cute.

The chinchilla does not have body odor, but need to use a special chinchilla bath sand and volcanic ash bath, note that not water oh.

Healthy chinchillas have a short round body shape, bright eyes without eye dirt; nose breathing smoothly without snot; feces should be very hard oval dark brown particles; teeth flat.

In terms of feeding, young chinchillas are fed alfalfa grass and adults are fed timothy grass. You can also feed grass in the morning and grain at night. For drinking water it must be purified or mineral water.

Overall chinchillas are very good to raise, do not need to spend a lot of time with, do not need to walk. As long as you feed regularly and bathe regularly with bath sand, you can do it.
