About Fuzzy Chinchilla
Why do chinchillas have such incredibly soft fur?
Chinchillas have the densest fur of any land mammal, with up to 80 hairs per follicle! This ultra-thick coat evolved to keep them warm in the freezing Andes Mountains where temperatures drop well below zero.
Where do wild chinchillas live?
Wild chinchillas are native to the Andes Mountains in Chile, living at elevations up to 14,000 feet. They prefer rocky crevices and burrows where they can hide from predators during the day.
What do chinchillas eat in the wild?
Chinchillas are herbivores that primarily eat grasses, seeds, fruits, and small insects. Their strong teeth continuously grow throughout their lives, requiring constant gnawing to keep them properly sized.
How big do chinchillas get?
Adult chinchillas typically weigh 1 to 2 pounds and measure about 12 inches long, not including their bushy 6-inch tail. Females are usually larger and more dominant than males.
How long do chinchillas live?
Chinchillas have surprisingly long lifespans for small mammals, living 15 to 20 years in captivity and about 10 years in the wild. This longevity makes them wonderful long-term companion animals.
Why do chinchillas take dust baths?
Chinchillas roll in fine volcanic dust to clean their fur and remove oils. Their fur is so dense that water would cause mold and fungus, so dust bathing is essential for their health.
