  • Do you want to know some fun facts about
    chinchillas? Children love them and they do make
    great pets.
  •  
  • Chinchillas originate in the rocky and
    mountainous environment in the barren area of the
    Andes Mountains well over 12,000 feet in both
    Chile and Peru. In order to cope with the cold in
    that area of the Andes they have developed dense
    fur and the pads on their feet are fleshy and
    hairless in order to allow them to have the
    ability to walk along the rocks of the mountains.
    The red blood cells of these rodents carry more
    oxygen than other rodents or rabbits do. This
    enables them to live in these high altitudes as
    at these heights there is less oxygen in the air.
  •  
  • These chinchillas are about the same sizes as a
    small cat and can jump up to a height of 6 feet
    or more. They also have hearing that is about the
    range that humans have.
  •  
  • These little rodents can sleep upside down
    because they naturally sleep in small holes or
    crevices and are able to get into the tiniest of
    spaces. Click Here to know more about Chinchilla
    facts.

  • Chinchillas also digest their food twice. The
    food goes through their digestive track and is
    excreted to be re-ingested. Other rodents do this
    also and this is a process that is called
    cacography. For the right family these
    chinchillas make wonderful pets. They are
    inquisitive, smart and loving animals. They are
    vocal, active and so much fun to watch. They also
    live as long as 20 years so they make great
    long-term companions.
  •  
  • These cute little animals are very social and
    they need a lot of interaction. In fact, a lone
    chinchilla needs a lot of attention and become
    very attached to their owners. If your family
    doesnt have that much time to devote to a pet
    perhaps you should get two so the loneliness is
    not that big an issue. Get More Info about
    Chinchilla Care.
