Adorable Violet Chinchillas Look Perfectly Round From Behind (16 Pics)

You must be gentle and consistent to gain the trust of a chinchilla. It can take some time to get any chinchilla used to your hands and being handled, especially if they are older and haven't been handled much. Some chinchillas will never really like to be held much. They'd rather be exploring, or they may prefer to climb on you rather than being restrained, but being able to handle and interact with your chinchilla will make your relationship extra rewarding. Some simple steps can help get the timidest chinchilla used to being handled. Be calm, slow-moving, and patient in the taming of your chinchillas, and they will eventually respond.
