HD PLEASE! I spent over 5 days trying to upload this video in 1080p! ;)
Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy this video and if your interested in getting a chinchilla it helped you decide! These are just certain traits and things about chinchilla that I see many people frequently rehome their pets for! CHINCHILLAS ARE NOT CUDDLY ANIMALS. These are just some common things to think about before looking into getting a chinchilla! Remember to do your research! After thinking about these points I made in this video I hope it helps to answer your question, "Is a Chinchilla Right for Me?"
1) Money : Chinchillas aren't inexpensive pets and keep in mind possible emergencies that your pet may face!
2) Space : Chinchillas and their supplies as well as their playtime area can take up a lot of room!
3) Temperature : Air conditioning is a MUST for your chinchilla. Temperature should always ideally be below 73 degrees fahrenheit.
4) Time : You can't just leave your chinchilla in their cage the whole day. They need to be let out for AT LEAST 30 minutes per day. Not to mention their cage needs to be swept out everyday! They poop A LOT!
5) Allergies : Are you allergic to chinchillas, their hay, or their dust?
6) Crepuscular : Chinchillas may not be on the same sleep schedule as you are!
7) Patience : Chinchillas can be VERY stubborn and may never learn any better. They easily get into trouble.
8) Life-Span : Chinchillas can live to 15-20 years with proper care! Yay! What do you think you'll be doing in 15+ years?
Are you right for a chinchilla?
