What is a chinchilla?
The real definition of a chinchilla is a small South American rodent (genus Chinchilla, family Chinchillidae) with soft gray fur and a long bushy tail. In my words, it is one of the most cutest animals in the world. It is kind of like a mixture of a rat and a hamster. Chinchillas are very low-maintenance pets. Chinchillas make really great pets, but they are not suited for everyone. I do not recommend for children because they are very small and fragile. If they are squeezed to tight they will bite. I prefer chinchillas to all other rodents because of their lack of unpleasant smell and long life span. Chinchillas will not tolerate temperatures above 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.8 degrees C) or in humidity over 40 %. Pet stores so not offer chinchillas. In fact, pet stores are the worst places to obtain chinchillas. It is better if you buy them from reputable breeders.
