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

Chinchillas are known for their adorable fluffiness, but did you know they also have perfectly round butts? If you are thinking about adding a violet chinchilla to your family, this is definitely the article you need to read. Also, We’ll take a close look at the history of the violet chinchilla and how the lovely violet coat color was developed.

Chinchilla cages must be large, multilevel homes with platforms, ramps, and perches. The larger the cage, the better. The minimum floor space is about 24 by 24 inches, and a tall cage is best; if possible, get one with shelves and ladders that allow this mountain native to climb. A wire is the best cage material; avoid plastic cages or accessories because chinchillas chew and destroy plastic readily. The tray can be lined with wood shavings, preferably pine; avoid cedar and hardwood shavings, such as aspen, and newspapers. Many chinchilla cages have a wire floor, which is nice for cleanliness, but the wire can be hard on chinchilla feet so it's best avoided. Wire floors or shelves can be covered with wood to give the chinchilla's feet a break. A nest box, made of wood, should also be provided.
