Product Review

These small mammals, native to South America, are known for their luxurious, soft fur and boisterous, playful personalities. They are quiet creatures and very low maintenance pets. However, there's a lot you need to know to keep this long-lived rodent happy and healthy. B.E.S. Pet Handbooks are written, designed, and illustrated in much the same attractive style as B.E.S. best-selling Complete Pet Owner's Manuals. However, Handbooks have a larger page count and with it, more extensive and detailed coverage of each title's subject pet. This updated edition for chinchilla owners provides a wealth of information on the animal's anatomy and life cycle, plus advice on housing, feeding, training, and health care.
