Chinchillas are lovely pets to care for but they have special needs that must be met every day of their lives. And one of these needs is their grooming needs. Much like how cats are, chinchillas have their own grooming habits to keep their fur clean. These creatures can be de-scented but they still emit a distinct smell that still bothers their carers. The only solution to this is to clean their cage and furniture regularly, and it would be best to place their cage in an area of your house where there is ventilation to help reduce the smell.
If grooming and sanitation are not done regularly, fleas, lice, and other parasites can start to populate in their dense fur. Chinchillas may also develop bad habits and behavioral problems with stressors present in their environment. Overcrowding is one factor and can make them aggressive, and turn into gnawing and biting other chins, and chomping their fur.
Any sign of illness should prompt a visit to your pet clinic San Antonio TX.
