Chinchillas can live for quite a long time as pets! The typical lifespan for a chinchilla in captivity is somewhere between 10 and 15 years, with some living even longer. The record for the oldest chinchilla is over 29 years old! However, the average lifespan is closer to 10 years.

What else can I help you with?

Are chinchillas good pets?

I have 2 chinchillas and they are lovely. I depends whether you want a pet which you hold or just look at. Chinchillas do not like to be held due to large back legs but are lovely have watch in their sand bath or running around a closed room. They can have lots of medical problems such as overgrowing teeth which can become expensive. Chinchillas also live between 16-20 years so are a very long term pet. Overall they are lovely pets to watch and to let jump over you, but it requires a lot of commitment. Hope I helped :)
