Chinchilla as a pet Chinchillas are adorable pet! I am one of the happy chinchilla's owner. It has a very pretty face. Its fur is the most mildly in the world & so chinchilla's fur requires specific care. For example, it can't swim in water, because its fur will be damage, it takes only a specific sand bath, like a small bird. It's looking so pretty & funny. Also, all chinchillas are vegetarian. It follows a stringent diet: no nuts, no sweets, no fresh vegetables or berries, no meat. It eats only dry pressed grass, dry carrot and dry barries, like a raspberry or dogrose. It is so small and highly (or better use "rather"?) wild, but it understands kindness and weasel. Below I attach a pretty photo from the internet. It's mother with her puppy ♥ Waiting for your edits
