Chinchillas (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual) Author: Maike Roder-Thiede Paperback (May 1999), 63 pages Barrons Educational Series; ISBN: 0764109340 Dimensions (in inches): 7.82 x 6.46 This book will give you a fine introduction to owning pet chinchillas (along with lots of great pictures). We wish we had a book with this much information when we first became chinchilla owners. However, we imagine that experienced owners will not find much in this book that they don't already know. Much of how best to care for a chinchilla is a matter of opinion based on experience. We find ourselves agreeing with the author about 90-95% of the time. While this isn't the only beginner's chinchilla book that we would recommend, it is one of the good ones and is better than several books that are more expensive. The main areas covered are: Typical Chinchilla, Daily Care and Maintenance, Behavior and Activities, and Caring for Your Pet When It Is Ill.

ok book	12/09/2009 - by Audrey from Bakersfield, US
So I got this book and it was ok. I just wish it had more information in it. I know its good to learn about their history but I wanted more information on how to care for them. But overall this is a good book for first time chin-baby owners.
very cool and good information	01/14/2009 - by teresa myer from nottingham, PA US
This book has a lot of information that is good. I know a lot more things about chinchillas now. I think every one should have this book and I recommand this to every one because it really helps you, (CAUTION) I found out that one or two things are NOT true. Happy Reading!
Good basic book	09/23/2008 - by Skylin Hibler from Bountiful, UT US
Most of the information in this book can be found on the Internet. Basic information mostly, but I like to have it for my Chilla-Sitters for when we go out of town. I got this book with my first Chin and it was very helpful. I do recommend this for first time chin owners. =)
#1 First Book	02/20/2007 - by Johanna Checksfield from Waldport, OR US
If you are just starting out or thinking about getting a Chinchilla, this is the 1st book to start with... It gives you the basics and lots of pictures. It gives you a very good overview of what is to come.
Fast, Enjoyable, Informative Read	01/31/2006 - by Vanessa Soderstrom from New York, NY US
This book is very compact & full of knowledge. It gives you the basics on Chinchillas & Chinchilla care. I would've liked more details; but information on Chin's are so hard to come by. This book is good for young adults - adults. I am an adult and read it in less than an hour, but it was informative. I find it comes in handy to point out chin facts to people who say "just bring her in the car, or leave her alone when you go on vacation". You can't argue with facts in black & white!
