Is it wrong to have a chinchilla?

Personally, I believe they are meant to be left in the wild to live happy and free in the grass with other chinchilla buddies, but if you have a big enough cage ( I mean BIG ) then they can be somewhat happy. If you have a nice grassy back yard with a good fence, then you can allow your chinchilla to roam around under your careful supervision, but otherwise, chinchillas should NOT be placed in cages under 5 ft in length and should not be left to simply sit in their cage forever (a.k.a. until they die).


What is everything a chinchila needs to survive?

A pet chinchilla dosent need much to survive, but to live a good mental and physical life, they do need more stuff. A chinchilla will need the basics: a good sized cage that they can not escape, a ferret cage is good, a water bottle, a food dish, and chinchilla food. Also they will need bedding for the bottom of the cage, wood chews to keep their teeth short, a dusting house and bath dust to keep themselves clean, and an igloo or somewhere for them to hide. All of those things can be found at a pet store


I got a chinchilla 3 months ago but at the pet store she was in a cage with a male and now she's pregnant does there have to be a male chinchilla with her when she gives birth and after she has them?

The Male chinchilla does not need to be there when and after she gives birth. It's suggested that if you have the male and female in the same cage to remove the male when she gives birth and have him in another cage neighboring her's. This is to ensure that the female does not become pregnant after just giving birth because it's very tiring for them.
