Chinchillas

Yes they are rare because brown is a recesive trait

Yes it is because they will mate, and not all chinchillas should be allowed to mate. for instance the chinchillas pet stores have should never be mated because no one knows what their backgrounds are, and they maybe have many issues that can be carried down into their kits, for example malocussion, which is a death sentence for chinchillas. not to mention, many things can go wrong when you breed. i have heard many things going wrong from reputable breeders.

yes and no. they like to play and make noise at night

I suppose one COULD, but it is very unlikely and is more likely to cause bleeding due to bites if they are ill-tempered.

On a hot summers day it's essential to keep your chinchilla cool. You can do this by using an air conditioner or for the more price conscious owner a simple desktop fan with a frozen bottle of water in front of it will do the trick, but make sure that the fan is not pointing towards the cage.

that's a dumb question but try selling them on ur block. it will be a hit!

These animals are hypoallergenic meaning they will not cause allergies.

Allergies are caused when the allergens enter through some pore or through the respiratory tract but the fur of these furry mammals fly off in.. fluffs? They do not shed much.

When you first get one, it might because it is a defense mechanism. When it gets used to you, it will stop shedding as much. Tufts of hair only fly off if it is scared so will not cause allergies.

Chinchillas do shed they shed right before winter and right before summer. Reason is in the summer they have to loose their winter coats and before winter they shed because they need new fur for the cold days.

Yes, Because If They Don't Have Them Their Teeth Will Get VERY Long.

And by the way, if you like chinchillas you are a boring person.

P.S. chinchillas are mammals not carnivoers.

Technically

no, they're endangered cause tractors are tearing there houses apart cause they need to build homes for people.

a chinchilla should be kept in temp. ranging from 65 degrees to no higher than 75 degrees.. and the humidity should be low.

Typical litters are small around 1-3 but upto 8 have been known in large chinchillas with experience of breeding. Most chinchilla mothers can feed 2 kits, more than this generally requires additional feeding.

Some do. I used to have a chinchilla that slept with his eyes open but my other one sleeps with his eyes open.

It is fine to touch it, but the dust comes off of it easier and it might need a dust bath sooner than usual. Touching your chinchilla after a dust bath does no harm to it.

Chinchillas are physically capable of eating dandelions, yes.

if you have bedding or shavings in the cage they will burrow sometimes

The Viscacha is related to the chinchilla which is found in many pet stores and may be a better choice. If you have a strong desire to purchase a Viscacha a trip to south america might be needed, because you would only be able to get it from residents or hunters of areas where they live.
