Being nocturnal creatures, chinchillas wake up at dusk and stay active all through the night. Daytime is spent sleeping, however your pet may wake up when something interesting is happening in his surroundings. 

To protect your pet from stress and disturbance, pick a quiet part of the house to place the enclosure. Since they can be quite active as they wake up at dusk, it is best to schedule playtime and interaction during this time. 

Pet chinchillas thrive with lots of interaction on a regular basis, without which, your pet may end up timid and shy. 

The temperament and disposition of a pet chin is already deeply ingrained. Generally, it is quite difficult to change or eliminate undesirable behaviors. With     this being said, you have to choose your pet carefully, spending some time with the litter before picking out the one with a pleasant disposition. 

Bring your chinchilla to a Costa Mesa veterinary clinic for regular check-ups. Check out this website for more info.
