Chinchillas - my furry friends
Chinchillas - born chinchilla chinchilla rodent family.
The natural habitat - the desert highlands of the Andes in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. Chinchillas were the object of an intense hunt for valuable fur, which led to a strong decrease in their numbers. Currently chinchilla in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Long-tailed chinchilla bred on fur farms in many countries, as well as common as pets.
Small mammal does not smell, does not bite, easy to get used to the owner, it gives in to training. On the fur of chinchillas are no allergies in humans. With chinchilla can walk on the street, using a special harness.
It is necessary "bath." In natural habitats chinchilla "swimming" in the volcanic ash, pulverized fine sand to their fine wool absorbs moisture, do not get wet, and removed from the coat lost hair. Where the Wild Chinchilla, the humidity is not more than 30 percent. As for us it is, and if the animals will not take a bath, they can catch a cold. For bathing chinchillas used very fine sand or pulverized loam, well-screened and calcined.
Feeding chinchillas is virtually no different from feeding rabbits. At the market and in pet shops a lot of different feed for chinchillas. You can also invite their pets something more varied and tasty. During the summer, fruit, seeds, it is possible to give dry crust of bread. In winter - hay, twigs of trees, dried fruits - apples, plums, apricots, raisins, nuts. Very useful hips and barberry. However, when feeding chinchillas summer greens have to follow some rules, you should start with a good 1-2 servings of slightly dried dandelion leaves a day. Clover and stems of leguminous plants is always podvyalivayut or used dry to avoid bloating.
Pregnancy in chinchillas lasts on average from 105 to 115 days. Usually 1-2 cubs are born, rarely 3 or more.
No matter how good cells, it is still a cell. Permanent life it affects the physical and mental state of health of the animals. Therefore, from time to time it is necessary to let chinchillas walk, at the very least give them the opportunity to enjoy cross-country wheel.
