La chinchilla como mascota - Características y cuidados

Chinchillas originated in the Andes mountain range in Latin America. They are small rodents that are in danger of extinction. In fact, there are hardly any wild specimens today. Chinchillas are sociable animals that live in colonies of several individuals. They can be a little skittish with people at first, but with treats and affection. We will have a very playful pet that will constantly ask for attention. They are extremely intelligent animals, capable of recognizing you, being happy or sad. They can also learn small tricks through repetition and positive reinforcement. We must feed our chinchilla with specific food. This way we ensure that we meet its nutritional needs. We can also offer it fruit or vegetables. Occasionally exercise is essential. Place branches in its cage for it to climb, as well as an exercise wheel. Another very important thing to keep in mind is sand baths so that your chinchilla can clean itself properly. Prepare a small sandbox with very fine soil available in any store. You will be surprised to see how much it enjoy it. Chinchillas prefer a slightly cool environment rather than one that is too warm. This is because their fur is adapted to cold environments. Visit your exotics vet every six months or annually to make sure your chinchilla is in perfect condition and does not suffer from any diseases. Thank you very much for watching this video.
