Aside from our previous video about American Chinchilla, there is still some information you need to know.


Enclosure.

The American Chinchilla rabbits can do great either in an indoor or outdoor enclosure provided that they are not displayed to excessive cold or heat. The outdoor enclosure must be hoisted from the surface to guard them against probable predators and should have a ramp leading to the fenced bottom to help them hop around on the grass underneath.

Indoor cages have to be sufficiently huge, so the American Chinchilla rabbits can conveniently stretch out, and knowing their size, these cages have to be rather big, which is exactly the reason why this particular breed is not suggested for people who live in apartments. The enclosures must be built with wire walls and should have a metal or plastic bottom to grasp bedding, which has to be spot-cleaned regularly and entirely changed every weekend.


Behavior.

These rabbits are very tough, laid-back, pleasant, and very compassionate. They are calm and quiet. They happen to socialize with other creatures in the household without creating clamors. They even expand their love to their handlers by tailing them. They can make great pets. Even the people with no background in raising a rabbit can easily handle them, and they do not demand daily grooming.

These rabbits are recognized to mature rapidly, which is a great explanation of why they are recommended for commercial use. Commonly, these rabbits grow very quickly, achieving complete maturity at a weight of 6 pounds. They are also known for their exquisite sight. They have fervent hearing and an impressive sense of smell.

Perhaps, one of the impressive components of American Chinchilla rabbits is that they nearly portray a 360-degree vision hugely due to the positioning of their eyes on the distant side of the head. These creatures can easily detect predators because of their impressive vision characteristics.

Often seen in rabbit shows or fairs, American Chinchillas are adaptable for anything – from meat consumption, commercial breeding, or pet-owning. These creatures are easy to care for, and they make great pets at home because of their pleasant characteristics and low requirement for maintenance.


Toys and Exercise.

When talking about playtime, every American Chinchilla rabbit considers toys a bit different. Some rabbits can be perfectly satisfied with customized and DIY toys while some are pleased to use mentally-stimulating toys which are available in any local pet store. Whatever your choice would be, always see to it that you are using rabbit-safe toys.

Also, toys should not break off into portions that your pet can unwittingly swallow and injure themselves inside. Mentioning that, the personality of your American Chinchilla rabbit shall prosper the longer they are exposed outside of their cages inviting and reaching out with their human family. Petting their backs, heads, ears, and necks is fully admissible and very much advocated.


Diet.

Owners of American Chinchilla rabbits have to pay special attention to their diet because these creatures have a sensitive digestive system. In terms of the diet of American Chinchilla rabbits, their diet does not vary from other breeds of rabbits. This implies that they have to get a diet that is composed of 70 percent hay, and the remaining portion should be composed of a healthy combination of superior kinds of pellets, leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables.

Some leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables are more promising in terms of healthful value to American Chinchilla rabbits, while some must be avoided no matter what happens. Apples, in particular, are a great example of a treat; however, iceberg lettuce does not offer sufficient nutrition to be helpful to the health of the rabbit. It would be wise if you always conduct your study and research when you organize your feeding for your pet, do not hesitate to seek advice from a veterinarian.
