Owning a Chinchilla
This site is set up to go over all aspects of chinchilla care. There is a lot of bad information on the internet when it comes to owning a chinchilla. As well this site will give plenty of resources to help anyone who wants to learn or just ensure they are taking care of the chinchilla in the best way. This is not the ONLY way to own chinchillas and you are more than welcome to take bits and pieces for what works for you. Chin owners are all over the world and we all have ideas about what is right and what isn't.
All aspects of chinchilla care will be covered from housing and diet to behaviour and common illnesses.
As well if you find you want to talk to other chinchilla owners you can always visit: www.canadianchinchilla.proboards.com Which is a forum with many other chin owners.
IF you have any chinchilla related questions you can email me at: owningchinchillas@gmail.com I am always able to answer chin related questions.
If you are looking for a chinchilla please check out the Canadian Chinchilla Rescue because adopting a rescue saves lives!
