Chinchillas are rodents native to the Andes Mountains. In the past they inhabited Peru, Bolivia and Chile, but today are limited only to a small area in Chile. There are two living species, one of which (Chinchilla chinchilla) is facing extinction. The domesticated animals found in the fur and pet trades are thought to be Chinchilla lanigera, which is also now rare in the wild.

They can make wonderful pets in the right home. They are inquisitive and intelligent. Although they can be quite affectionate, they require cautious and gentle handling and are not recommended for young children.

They are lively animals – especially at dawn and dusk – and can be very fun to observe. Because of their highly social lifestyle, they are best kept by people who will give them daily attention and frequent interaction. They can become very tame and owner-attached. If the owner cannot commit to the necessary bonding, chinchillas should be kept in groups of two or more. Chinchillas may live up to 20 years, making them long-term companions.
