Chinchillas are cuddly rodents from the mountains of South America. They are so cuddly, in fact, that they have been hunted for their soft fur to near extinction. One species of chinchilla, the giant chinchilla, is already extinct due to human predators trying to make money in fur markets since the 16th century. The remaining chinchilla species, brevicaudata and lanigera, are both rare in the wild and near extinction. The fur is truly luxurious, with 60 hairs sprouting from a single follicle; a chinchilla’s coat is so thick fleas cannot live on its skin. Although grey in the wild, as pets chinchillas are bred in a variety of colors and shapes. They are popular for their exotic nature, easy-to-clean stool, and playful personalities.

In this free video series, expert Lauren Von Lehe tells you all about these exotic rodents. She gives you expert information on chinchilla habits, health, care, and cages. Lauren will explain behaviors to you and give you tips on caring best for your chinchillas. She explains the different colors and where they come from, how to feed your chinchilla and why a healthy diet is so important, how to best take care of your pet’s fur, and how to set up a stimulating cage for your chinchilla. Lauren also shares the various ways to buy a chinchilla and why some places are better than others. Introducing new chinchillas to a cage can be tricky, and Lauren also provides different techniques for that! You’ll be an all-star pet-owner after this enlightening series on chinchillas.
