Do you have a pet cat as well as a chinchilla or plan to get one of them or both? A cat and a chinchilla can live in the same house cooperatively in certain cases.
If you plan to get a chinchilla, it's important to keep your beloved cat's personality in mind first. If you have a cat that is mellow, you're lucky: it would be a great housemate to your future chinchilla. However, if you have a cat that has a strong predator personality, he might try to constantly hunt that chinchilla you plan to get. Putting a chinchilla in a cage might not fully work because the decided cat who is on constant "hunt mode" would try to reach the chinchilla or keep it in a constantly stressed mode. Since chinchillas are rodents, your cat might consider it as prey. Keep a close eye on your chinchilla once you bring it home.
Any sign of illness should warrant a call or visit to your animal clinic San Antonio, TX.
