Adorable Violet Chinchillas Look Perfectly Round From Behind (16 Pics)
Chinchillas as pets: There is no one perfect way to care for chinchillas but certain essential needs must be met. It is up to you how you look after your chinchilla, but you must take reasonable steps to ensure that you meet all their needs. Before choosing a chinchilla as a pet, you need to consider that they can live for up to 15 years. They are lively animals and mostly nocturnal so they are not ideal as children's pets – and children need to be supervised when handling them.
