Chinchillas

No.

In their native habitat, chinchillas live in burrows or crevices in rocks.

Chinchillas are native to the Andes Mountains in South America.

Chinchillas have bloody noses because they might of cut it on something. There also might be a reason because maybe it is just there mucus because it is red. If it is the mucus then their nose is probably irritating them, and you need to take them to a vet. My chinchilla just died because of a bloody nose, and we didn't take it to a vet. I am pretty sure mine might of got it cut on a nail because of the wood.

But in extreme cases where the kit has died, the mother will eat the carcass of the dead newborn baby. (disgusting I know!)

If the baby is healthy, the mother chinchilla will eat the placenta.

A baby chinchilla is a tiny chinchilla with small ears and they look cute

They are ambush killers. They lie down and wait then rush forward to grab their prey. To kill their prey they take it to the water to drown and dismember it. Sometimes they get fruit from trees too!

A chinchilla mother should tuck her baby under her and dry it when it is born .The chinchilla should have its first feed within an hour. A baby can be walking within minutes .Don't give the mother chinchilla a sand bath until 1 week after birth so there is no infection.

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

It varies from store to store. I bought mine for about $160 without the food, cage and other things. He was about a year old, but my other chinchilla that was a few months old was about $200 without the cage and things.

are you talking about a running wheel, if so, yes, they like to run on them

Yes. Yes they can.

Chinchillas way about 1 to 1.5 pounds! HOPE THIS HELPED!!!

Yes, chinchillas come from the Andes Mountains in South America.

The chinchilla is not native to Australia, and currently there are no plans to allow importation of chinchillas.

The only chinchilla you will find in Australia is the bush town of Chinchilla in Queensland's western Downs.

Chinchillas can range from $50-$200, but on rare occasions you will have to pay $600. It depends on the color of them of the price range. But im pretty sure at petco or petsmart you can get one for $50-$70.

It would just be best if you called them baby chipmunks. That way everyone knows what you're talking about. You may also call them kits or cubs. Pups are good too.

usually about 15 years

but if you take super good care of it maybe it will live up to 18-22 years

Chinchillas NEED cold temps. They have very thick furry coats and can not sweat to loose heat so anything over 75 degrees Fahrenheit will make them upset and can die. Best to keep them in basements (cold rooms) or air conditioned rooms. If it is very hot out you can freeze a plastic bottle and they will sit on it to cool off.

Around 3 months they usually first leave the nest.

They do not need to go on annual vet visits like dogs or cats, but when they do get sick they need medical attention, and with some illnesses, they need to get a vet very quickly because they can go downhill very quickly.

chinchillas do not migrate because they have thick fur that allows the to adapt to the harsh winter weathers.

Chinchilla's CAN eat paper. Does not mean they should. Also, you should specify if it is notebook paper or newspaper, or bedding. If it is bedding, and it is eating it excessively, try getting new bedding. Perhaps softwood.

In captivity, average chinchillas lifespan is 15-20 years. Average human lifespan is 84 years. So to figure chinchilla years, multiply their age by 5, and you'll get an approximate answer.
