Excerising Your Pet Chinchilla

By Jake Appleton


While chinchilla cages should be enormous enough for your pet to run around in, chinchillas should ottherwise have time to exercise out of their cages every day too - if you are in a position to supervise them. Chinchillas as pets can get stressed when they feel they are being confined, because by nature they don't live in confined spaces. The stress of confinement can cause them to be anti-social and withdrawn. They may get irritated and start to bite their fur.

In order for the chinchilla to live a long lasting and active life, it is important that they get out of their cage and obtain some type of exercise, regardless of whether it's just walking around. The chinchilla will also stay happy. So if you're a breeder or a pet owner, you need to do what you want to do in order to make this occur. A regular exercise regimen will lower stress and in turn keeps your immunological system from harm.

When you actually care for a chinchilla, they know it. They know when you really love them and have their best interest at heart. They've a positive disposition and they'll be able to trust you and relate to you better. This could definitely show when you permit them to have some time out of their cage.

This eliminates other stress-related actions, for example spraying pee or battling with other chinchillas. This'll help them relate to other chinchillas and gel with them also. The best exercises for them are walking and getting on the wheel found in their cage. Doing exercises on the wheel can cut back the presence of being fat and/or overweight.

There isn't any such thing as a chinchilla getting too much exercise or eating too much. They know when they have had enough of both. When they're beat, they will stop to take a break. Exercising on a consistent basis can eliminate possible health or behaviour issues, including stress. The key with exercising is that it has to be regular and consistent.
