Chinchillas are known for their precious, soft fur and many people kill chinchillas for their fur coats. Whether it is illegal now or not is still a mystery to me, as far as I know.
According to my observations, I belive chinchillas are vulnerable to infection or disease They can be quite cold around other chinchillas and can end up fighting as well.
Wild chinchillas reside in the Andes Mountains, in Chile, where they have a low chance of survival due to climate and prey.
