Chinchillas are naturally very skittish creatures and generally do not like to be held, although they can become very attached to their owners.
After they eat plants, chinchillas produce a special kind of droppings, called cecotrophs, which they eat and re-digest. These cecotrophs contain undigested nutrients.
Chinchillas live together in large colonies and are highly social.
Over 100 chinchillas can live together in a herd.
