Are chinchillas small pets worth keeping?

The advantage is:
1. I eat very little and cheap, all grass and grain.
2. Clean and hygienic, chinchillas are rare without parasites and fleas. I like to clean myself and I can take a bath.
3. Peace of mind, not too sticky. If you want to slap it, just throw it away if you don’t want to slap it. Put grass and water once a day and leave it alone. I will pee at a certain point, I will take a bath, I will eat and drink water, and I will not kill myself.
4. No taste, it should be the most tasteless among pets. The shit is grainy and has no smell at all. Urine has a slight smell, but it has absorbent wood grains so it has no smell. Totoro itself has no taste. You can even smell the fragrance of grass as you approach.
5. Cute! So cute! A pore with 60 hairs feels very comfortable. The best fur material in the world!
shortcoming:
1. Expensive! How expensive! (But you can try your luck with salted fish, maybe there are cheap ones) Cabinet cages, chinchillas are afraid of heat and want to buy electric ice nests. Ceramic toilets, food bowls, absorbent wood pellets, backpacks, traction ropes, urine pads, firing pin kettles, bath sands, bathrooms, and small brooms can’t be imagined for the time being. However, the upfront cost is high. The later cost is low. Chinchillas basically do not get sick, so it is not necessary to spend money on later treatment. Vaccines are also not required.
2. Flying hair will be improved with a cabinet cage. Its fur is not like a cat or dog. Its fur is fine and soft. You can barely see. (Actually, you can see it carefully)
3. Afraid of heat, the temperature should not exceed 25 degrees. Otherwise it’s easy to burp. Once you have a heatstroke, you can’t save it.
4. Cowardly, I was afraid that I would not be too close to people when I first received it. Not being able to take a bath with water is easy to frighten to death. There is a stress response.
5. Stocking is easy to bite off the wire and eat indiscriminately. You can’t get it back when you chew on wooden furniture. by


The above are the advantages and disadvantages of chinchillas, chinchillas have a life span of 15 to 20 years. The survivability in the wild is 0, so if you want to keep it, please be responsible to the end. If chinchillas breed, the pregnancy cycle is more than 100 days, and only one child can be born a year, with 1-2 children per child. So very rare and expensive. The harder it is to match the color, the more expensive it is. I also wanted to talk about my friend’s rabbit and the hamster I once raised. However, there is not much experience and cannot be used as a reference. Just to share with you these two animals. The first is the hamster I once had. 5 bucks when bought. In a small transparent box, I was relatively small at the time. Many things do not understand. After raising it for a few days, I felt a little smelly in the box. I think it’s time for the hamster to take a bath. Take the hamster to take a bath with water. Also very carefully marked with hand sanitizer. Although the hamster is a little dishonest in the process. Wipe with toilet paper when I’m done washing. Then found it didn’t move. Shaking a few times did not understand. When I was young, I was puzzled. It was only when I grew up that I realized that I was scared to death because of the stress of taking a bath. ended its sad life. Then there’s a friend’s lop-eared rabbit. Taobao bought it for 70 yuan. Daily necessities and food are almost the same as chinchillas. Rabbits have some smell, and my friend cleans it every day and the smell is relatively weak. When the rabbit first arrived, it was only the size of a slap for more than 40 days, and it was the same size as my adult chinchilla. Said to be a dwarf rabbit. As a result, when I came to visit my friend again in 3 months, her little rabbit was already a big rabbit of more than 20 centimeters. I also laughed at her for a long time. I heard from friends that rabbits will be in heat and urinate when they are adults, so she will spend one or two thousand to sterilize rabbits in the future. You want to ask me how my chinchillas are in heat? A 1-year-old chinchilla almost fell for a lop-eared rabbit for more than 40 days. Afterwards, I severely educated (laughed at) my children and took pictures. Hahahahaha. Finally, let’s put a cute photo of my cheese, to seduce everyone to raise chinchillas
