15 Chinchillas That Are So Round And Cute They Will Melt Any Icy Heart

by Damjan

Chinchillas are without a doubt one of the cutest animal species on the planet. The little critters may definitely make you say "awww" with their bushy tails, tiny ears, lengthy whiskers, and beautifully fluffy fur.

In fact, the chinchilla's fur is regarded to be the softest of all land mammals! Don't worry, these adorable creatures aren't overfed or manicured every day to maintain their round appearance; it's just how their coat naturally looks.

The thick chinchilla fur enables these rodents to live in the harsh temperature of altitudes up to 16.400ft in the Andes mountains of South America. We have compiled a list of adorable chinchillas to commemorate the beauty of these small fluffy animals.

Continue scrolling to see more, and feel free to submit your own adorable images to the collection. But be careful: it's a cuteness overload waiting to happen, and you may find yourself adding another pet animal to your mini zoo.

If you are wondering, chinchillas are a fun animal to have as a pet. They take little upkeep, are relatively tidy, and mostly sleep while you are at work.

Chinchillas are crepuscular animals. That means they are most active at dawn and dusk.

Now, let's take a look at those photos we've promised:

While chinchillas do not really enjoy being cuddled, they are quite affectionate with their owners. They're naturally curious and like getting out of their chinchilla cages anytime they can—as long as they're overseen by their pet parent!

People often ask if chinchillas can live with dogs. The answer is - they may or may not become best friends, but they can live together in a secure environment.

Begin slowly. Animals place a high value on ritual, structure, and scent. Allow your dog to get acclimated to the smell of his new roommate while your chinchilla is safely enclosed.

Can they live with cats? Well, the personalities of the two will play a role in whether or not they get along. If you already have a cat, you should think about its personality type.

Are they tense, and do they respond badly to guests at your home? Do they flee and hide if the dog next door barks?

What's also interesting about chinchillas is that it's possible to teach them to follow simple instructions. You can also potty train them.

Chinchillas should be trained as young as possible. This implies only giving them a few weeks to adjust to their new environment before starting to potty train them.
