Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is NOT a colour that Chinchillas can have?

Answer: Tawny

Chinchillas can come in many colours. From the most basic: Standard Grey, Homo Beige, & Hetero Beige to the exotic: Sapphire, Black Velvet, Pink-White, Silver Mosaic, & Ebony Mosaic.
2. What is another name for the common disease chinchillas get, intestinal infection?

Answer: Enteritis

Signs of this illness are as follows: depression, loss of appetite, and partial paralysis. Recovery from this infectious disease is difficult. It often results in death.
3. What is the average life span of a chinchilla?

Answer: 8-10 years

With proper care chinchillas can live up to 18 years.
4. What is Fur Slip?

Answer: Loss of hair when handled roughly

Chinchillas may appear to be hardy creatures, and they are. But they require their owner to handle them gently.
5. Chinchillas require dust baths everyday. What material should you NOT give to them to bath in?

Answer: Soft, dry earth

I always use a mixture of silver sand and fuller's earth.
6. What is the normal breeding season for chinchillas?

Answer: Between November and May

Female chinchillas come into their estrous cycle every 30 to 50 days. They can be very aggressive towards their mate when in heat.
7. True or false? Most chinchilla births happen in the morning.

Answer: True

Usually 2 babies are born, but females can birth up to 5 babies.
8. Which hay is NOT recommended to feed to your chinchilla as its main diet, due to its high calcium content?

Answer: Alfalfa

I usually give my chinchillas 1-3 alfalfa cubes as a treat each week, simply because they enjoy the taste.
9. Where do chinchillas come from?

Answer: All of these

Chinchillas are semi-domesticated rodents.
10. What will chinchillas do when they are agitated?

Answer: Urinate

Chinchillas rarely bite, although babies might nibble out of curiosity. Agitation can create varied behaviours in chinchillas such as running around the cage, clinging to the edge of a cage etc., but singing, barking and pretending to faint won't occur with agitation.
