Chinchillas

They do it accidentally, so get a heavy bowl.

But sometimes, it does it with purpose.

The one I have, when it got spoiled, grabbed his bowl and threw it down from cage 3rd floor and emptied the contents of the bowl when it wanted a treat. I got extremely pissed and did not give it anything until it ate up the food that lay on the floor. Now it's not spoiled anymore... LOL

Yes chinchillas can live in grass cages, but i prefer that you don't put them in grass cages because if you use the grass from the ground they could have all different bacteria on it. To make sure check with your veternarian or your local pet store.

Hope this helps!

A Chinchilla cat usually has about 4 kittens in a litter although may have up to 8 or even more but that is unusual. Like most other domestic cats Chinchillas can have two or three litters a year. Long-haired cats like Chinchillas are prone to polycystic kidney disease and an affected kitten may not survive more than a few weeks. Responsible breeders are now testing for this condition.

No. Most male animals don't live well together.

No. Guinea pigs need a different environment from chinchillas. It would be best to house them in different places. If your guinea pig/chinchilla are lonely put their cages opposite each other.

Wild chinchillas lived in a fairly small area of South America. Loss of habitat to development and being hunted for their fur has made them in danger of extinction. This does not apply to farm raised chinchillas that are raised for their fur.

Yes almost all farrets sleep with eyes open or partially open

He was taken into the vet for a routine procedure. The vet overanathesized him, then, upon realizing the mistake that had been made, gave Lucky the wrong medication to counterbalance the effect. He never woke up. :(

they normally live 18-22 years but that depends on how well you take care of them

(im N777, i had to say this.. when u say "how long do they last", u make them sound like canned food or something)

Actually rose petals are healthy for your guinea to eat. Pet stores like Petsmart and Petco sell a brand called Kaytee, they have rose petals and rose buds in some of their products and they also have a treat that is nothing but rose petals. I wouldn't recommend picking roses unless you are positive that they have not been sprayed with pesticides. Always consult a vet before taking the choice to feed from items outside, sometimes cars can cause nasty pollutions to your plants and they could potentially be harmful.

If the bowl is heavy, your gerbil should find it difficult to tip it over. I suggest a china bowl. If this doesn't stop him, try gluing the bowl to the floor.

We tend to just feed our gerbils (mind you we own over 40 gerbils and own many champion gerbils) on the ground. The food will get buried, but it lets the gerbils forage for there food and therefore simulates a natural habitate.

My way might be a bit expensive but it works. I have a plastic cage from pets at home and it has a special hole at the top of the cage. The food bowl slots into it and it therefore impossible for it to get tipped over.

yes, a mouse is a small animal so more, in theory would be mouses however in the English language it is correct to say mice instead

Yes. There main predators are foxes and man but owls, cougars and even mountain lions prey on chinchillas too.

I dont think so. They carry NO dander in their fur.

It depends on the Chinchilla - those handled more from birth and raised properly will be more comfortable with you touching them; the more time you put into getting to know them, the more they will let you play with them!

Do remember though, Chinchillas are very sensitive to germs and you must always wash your hands before and after handling them - any grease and oils on your hands will damage their coats too.

No. Mice are placental mammals, not marsupials.

dolphins and whales. but only because they switch off half their brain. plus, they don't really sleep. they keep swimming and just sort of rest half their brain. sharks are a bit alike, but they differ a little.

A chinchilla is a species of small rodents native to South America to 'make' a chinchilla you need to breed a male chinchilla with a female chinchilla in order to make baby chinchillas .

a guinea pig can live to a grand total of the age 13 and over

BUT !!! there is a but

an average guinea pig stays alive from 5-9 years and even longer .

thankyou for using wikianswers x

According to biologists, the chinchillas are known to live in the Alpine biome because their furs adapt to rapid changes in temperatures and they are herbivores.

biting

Chinchillas can jump up to 5 feet in the air to get away from a predator.

Also if a predator gets a hold of them they can do this thing called a fur slip which is where they loose a patch of fur voluntarily and with out hurting themselves to cause the predators grip to slip. Also they spray the animal with a very nasty smelling substance. Biting is a last resort but can be affective. They can also use intimidation, by puffing themselves up and bark as loud as they can to try and scare the predator away.

The Short-tailed Chinchilla has not been seen in the wild since the last one was spotted in 1953. They are breed in fur farms for their pelts, and for the pet trade. They are listed with a status of "critically endangered" with the population trend as "decreasing", according to IUCN. Red List There have been some reports concerning populations that might be on the border with Chile, in regions that are considered very isolated. While the Long-tailed Chinchilla has about half of it's population, roughly 5,000 in an enclosed protected reserve, and the other half, about 5,000 is on privately owned unprotected lands, but the Chinchilla is protected in any of it's habitats.
