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.
