Is a chinchilla an exotic pet?

Answer 1

Yes a chinchilla is an exotic pet. Because as people know an exotic pet is a wildlife creature brought to home as your own.I have a chinchilla and they are not like other small pets . Every week you have to give them a dust bath . They are the softest animal in the world .

Answer 2

yes, in fact chinchillas are becoming very popular pets now a days. If your thinking about getting one, you need to do lots of research because they do have 'special needs' you cant just go out and buy one without knowing them.

Answer 3

The price of the chinchilla itself will vary on the color.. you should get a decent size cage and that will cost about $200. then you need all kinds of safe accessories for the cage and how much you spend depends on you, but you can spend another $100..

but once you get those items, you won't be spending that again.

quality food is actually cheaper than garbage food, and it's not that much, niether is hay.

vet bills can be very expensive. i have four and this year i had a problem run through my chin room and i spent 1000. but for three years i didn't spend antyhing in vet bills.. so its hard to say, but have a savings aside in case you need to go to the vet.

Answer 4

YES!!!

Chincillas can be pets.
