The delightful South American unrodent-like rodent, known as the chinchilla, makes a playful and affectionate companion animal. Author Donna Anastasi refers to them as inquisitive, sensitive, intelligent, and active, the ideal combination of intelligence and interaction anyone would want in a small pet. This Complete Care Made Easy title is an ideal introductory pet guide to the chinchilla, with detailed chapters on: *Selection of a healthy chinchilla *Housing and care *Welcoming and taming the new arrival *Feeding and daily care *Training *Health and veterinary care *And more! The book offers excellent advice about feeding and nutrition, including the choice of pellets, supplements, hay, and treats. It explains the abilities and limitations of chinchillas' senses (they're nearsighted but have exceptional hearing), and offers a great overview of how they communicate through sounds and body language. With positive reinforcement and a clicker (no leash and collar!), the chinchilla can be trained to perform tricks for the family's entertainment, and the book gives lots of training pointers for owners! For chinchilla fanciers who are interested in further exploration, the author includes chapters on breeding chinchillas and getting involved in shows. Sidebars throughout the text provide useful information to chinchilla keepers, covering such topics as chinchilla colors, harmful human foods, daily care checklist, and show terminology. The resources include chinchilla societies, books and websites. Glossary of terms and index included.
