Handling Your Chinchilla
To ensure that your Chinchilla becomes tame and affectionate it is important that you handle it frequently and correctly
Picking up a Chinchilla incorrectly could lead to it being permanently frightened and may lead to it becoming aggressive. Remember that most small animals are prey in the wild. So if they are approached from above they will see a large shadow and become scared. They might run and hide or try to attack you. Before attempting handling, make sure that your Chinchilla is awake and alert. Let it decide when it is ready to come to you.
- Your voice is a good method of introduction as it will make it aware that you are nearby.
- Always approach your Chinchilla on the same level. Crouch in front of and let it come to you, presenting the back of your hand to sniff.
- Gently put your thumb behind the forelegs with your fingers over the back and lift with one hand whilst supporting the weight of the Chinchilla by scooping up the rump with the other hand.
- Gently place your Chinchilla on to your lap or hold against your chest.
- You should NOT try to lift your Chinchilla by the tail or ears as this can cause pain or the tail to break off
- If your Chinchilla is handled roughly, he may shed his hair. Always approach quietly and gently.
