She wears it to church and all the other rich snobs can tee hee to each other and wisper mr. rich must be doing it again to her as they all take off their chinchilla coata
What can cause a chinchilla to be lethargic?
Welcome to the club of the "Worlds most fussy pet"! They are great fun but need allot of TLC. This is something I suggest you get checked by a vet before anything, if it persists. There can be many factors that can cause lethargy but remember that Chinchillas are nocturnal. So are usually active only once the sun sets (even with indoor lighting). 1) Over stress can cause a Chincilla to reach near exaustion and collapse. 2) A recent change in diet and/or unsuitable food can cause an upset stomache and cause your Chincilla to appear "off colour". 3) Lack of dust bath can cause a Chinchilla to be a little lack lust. The first of these is by far the most serious here are the recommended solutions (always seek a vets advice if they percist): 1) Move the Chinchilla away from any load noises (TV's, Small Children, Big Children, Windows opening onto main roads) immediatley. Also insure that they are not disturbed during daylight hours while they are sleeping (this tends to make them cranky). If you allow your chin to have a run in your house NEVER try and catch them forcefully. This is a sure way of leading to collapse. I find that bribery works best...entice them to there cage with raisins or a dust bath (it takes the patience of an angel). 2) Check there droppings for any change in texture (they should be long and hardish) and colour (dark brown). Also check the Chins bum, there should be no droppings on there fur. If any signs are show immediately change the food back to what it was before or stop giving new food items. Also go easy on the raisins (only 2-3 per day). 3) Ensure the Chin gets a good 10-20 mins with their dustbath each day. Ensure that the dust has had all the droppings/hay/fluff removed (use a seive). Chinchillas are notorious for being really fussy about being clean. They hate being dirty or oily, so after you stroke them give them the option of a bath as they usually get the natural oils from your hand on their fur. But above all get it checked out with a vet!
yes a chinchilla is a mammal.
mammals are classified as any animal with fur or hair that gives birth to live young.
chinchillas give birth to live young.
thus for a chinchilla is a mammal.
hope this helps
Chinchilla's are about the size of a Guinea pig, only with a long tail.
A squirrel-like rodent. some people like chinchilla coats, BUT DO NOT BUY THEM! YOU WOULDN'T SKIN A HAMSTER, SO DO NOT BUY FUR COATS! Dont forget they are the cutest animals to animal lovers, but to everyone else: Fur Coats and Uglies. (PS they have the thickest fur of all mammals!!!)

How old are the children Take a bath themselves?
Most children (without any physical or mental impairment) can bathe alone safely by the age of 4 or 5 years. You should never leave a child completely unsupervised in the bath until they are able to wash themselves properly, and are not in danger of drowning from falling.
My 12 yr old grandson lives with me and he can get in the bathtub himself and also get out,. But I still bathe him, he does not clean every part of his body. His hair is very oily and his bottom is almost always dirty. He likes our time together when I am washing him an we talk about his day. He is getting better at cleaning himself but he is not there yet. He has not reached puberty so there is no issue with that. I dont think that will bother him when it happens.
After his bath, I dry him off then he gets in his underpants and pajamas. He gets 30 minutes of TV time then I tuck him for the night.
My question is: is he told for this kind of treatment?
Which is larger a billion chinchillas in the US or a billion chinchillas in England?
Speaking traditionally, a billion chinchillas in England is bigger, by 3 orders of magnitude (assuming a consistent average size for all those critters). Recently, The UK and many other countries throughout the world are adopting the US meaning of 'one thousand millions' instead of their traditional 'one million millions'.
wrong again key-oh-wah-sabee......the way the pound sterling is falling against the US dollar, it won't matter where you keep your chinchillas....houses are worth less, cars are worth not much, and you can't eat a chinchilla and it still be worth anything.
Neither: there's a billion chinchillas in both places.
*GASP*
- Everyone forgot to take into account the size of the chinchillas. A better variation of this question is- 'What is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of fried ice cream?'
-
- Speaking in ratio to the size of the country, it would be the U.K. It would be larger in the U.K. anyway, because in the U.S. a billion is a thousand million but in the U.K. it is a million million. Actually, are there a billion chinchillas in either country?
- Well... seeing as America admittedly has a love of fast food, the billion in America would be much larger. By much larger, I mean MUCH LARGER. And think about it... a billion insanely obese chinchillas running around in America would definitely cause a few, um, problems.
A billion chinchillas is the same amount no matter where you are. No, a billion chinchillas in England would be bigger, because it's so cold in England that all the chinchillas would have to wear coats, hats, gloves and a scarf. This would bulk them up so much that they'd look more like 2 billion chinchillas!
They would be biggest in China, because the population is so big and all of the chinchillas would eat all of the people and they would grow to gigantic size. Moreover, they would be hungry an hour later.
-------------
American chinchillas are somewhat larger than English chinchillas. American chinchillas frequently exceed 1kg where as English vet's use a 500g average weight. This would make a large difference to mass calculations.
_________
Don't we also need to consider that the origin of the chinchillas and their current location are independent variables? The billion US chinchillas may very well be immigrants from the UK.
------
Has nobody realised that everything in the US is bigger than anywhere else so there is no argument.
--------------------
My opinion: They didn't say weight...or size of the mass...one billion is one billion, no matter where you go.
Were there any pirates in Maine?
Yes, there were pirates off the coast of Maine, and there still are some. They will probably be around for a long time to come. At least until greed and thievery aren't around any longer. Modern pirates generally use speed boats or former coast guard vessels, nowadays. One of the more infamous pirates in Maine history was Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. Blackbeard and his crew of pirates terrorized sailors on the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea from 1716 through 1718. Blackbeard's treasure is believed to have been buried on the Isle of Shoals off Maine's coast. A few other infamous pirates raiding off the coast of Maine include Captain William Kidd, William Fly, Rachel Wall, Dixie Bull, and Ned Low.
