🧬 Instinto
Why does my chinchilla bounce off the walls?
Wall surfing is when a chinchilla literally bounces off the walls, ceiling, and furniture during playtime. They can jump up to 6 feet high and ricochet off surfaces like parkour athletes. This is completely normal and a sign of a healthy, happy chinchilla.
Why does my chinchilla roll in dust?
Chinchillas cannot get wet — their incredibly dense fur (20,000 hairs per square centimeter) does not dry properly and can develop fungal infections. Instead, they bathe in volcanic pumice dust, which absorbs oil and dirt and keeps their coat pristine.
Why did my chinchilla lose a patch of fur?
Fur slip is a defense mechanism where chinchillas release large patches of fur when grabbed, scared, or handled roughly. In the wild, this allows them to escape predators. The fur grows back, but frequent fur slipping indicates a handling or stress problem.
