The chinchillas have become, over the last few years, appreciated pets. Sweet, active and with cheeky faces, they reveal all their intelligence and affection if they are in a serene and well-equipped environment, which allows them to let off steam and … jump!
The chinchilla is an animal that up until a few years ago was bred almost exclusively for the production of fur. Now that awareness of the life of four-legged friends has become stronger and widely approved, these types of farms have been banned by many European countries.
The chinchilla is actually a very sweet and intelligent rodent. Like the rabbit (which however belongs to the family of lagomorphs), it is an extremely delicate animal and sensitive to temperature and sudden drafts.
The chinchilla is a nocturnal animal, loves to make great leaps and is extremely greedy.
