Chinchillas are South American rodents that make great pets. They are nocturnal, live up to 20 years, and require a lot of attention. Known for their active nature, they need space and toys. Their teeth grow continuously, necessitating careful dietary choices. Chinchillas take dust baths to clean their thick fur and are prone to heat strokes. They are vocal and not picky eaters. Chinchilla babies are born fully developed. They shed fur as a defense mechanism. Owning a Chinchilla requires long-term commitment and care.
