Did you know that ticks can be a
nuisance to pets like the chinchillas? Ticks don’t just bother cats and dogs.
Ticks like to latch onto anything with fur or hair like a chinchilla. Even if
your chinchillas doesn’t go outdoors he can still get a tick either from
another animal in the house or from a person in the house. Ticks can be
notorious for catching a ride on a shoe, backpack, purse, bag, clothes, etc.
and just jump right onto the fur of your chinchilla. Ticks often latch on to
the belly because of the thin amount of hair in this
area. Once on the chinchilla, the tick will move around anywhere along the
thick fur coat. If you find one tick on your chinchilla, make sure you search
him thoroughly for more. When removing the tick, remember to pull straight up
to ensure all of the tick is out. Ask your pet clinic Bucks County PA
for assistance.
