150 Best Chinchilla Names For Your New Pet
Gallery
Chinchillas are rodents that are native inhabitants of South America.
Chinchillas, which are a bit larger than squirrels, were extensively hunted for their furs. However, now they are domesticated by people.
A male chinchilla is called a boar, and chinchillas, over time, learn their names and respond to them. Having two chinchillas is an ideal situation as they are great pets. However, chinchillas do not like to be petted or touched a lot as they prefer staying alone.
