Chinchillas are cute, attractive pets. They may look like them, but they are definitely are not cuddly toys! But they are indeed, very pleasant and pretty and can easily become very tame.
Chinchillas are, however, not that easy to keep. They have particular demands as far as their housing and diet are concerned. Incorrect feeding and, in particular, the wrong treats can be very dangerous and easily affect your chinchilla's health, as their stomachs are very sensitive.
Taking care of the coat also requires extra attention and, in particular, special sand baths. Their behaviour is also different than that of most rodents and bringing together 2 chinchillas which do not know each other can be very difficult. However, one chichilla on its own will become lonely and pine away.
Futhermore, this book deals with the behaviour of chinchillas in a detailed manner. Smells, sounds and body language are of utmost importance here.
The chapter on health provides information about potential diseases and afflictions and, more importantly, explains how to prevent them. Futhermore, it tells you how to administer first aid and treat your chinchilla for any conditions, if necessary.
This book provides you all the information and many tips on how to keep chinchillas in a responsible manner. You learn about many special characteristics of these exceptional animals and you will also begin to understand their characters. The book is beautifully illustrated with many pictures of chinchillas in a variety of different colourings.
All in all, this is a beautiful, up-to-date and very informative book!
