========================
Aside from our previous video, there's still some information you need to know about Standard Chinchilla.


Cage.

Standard Chinchillas or any other type of domesticated rabbit for that matter will do well when kept in a standard rabbit cage you can procure commercially in pet stores. You should choose a cage that is suitable enough for the size of a Standard Chinchilla, although these rabbits are not the longest and heaviest varieties. Just make sure that the cage has more than enough space for them to feel a bit of freedom to move around. But if you prefer them to have a wide space to use for roaming, an outdoor enclosure might be a good idea. These enclosures can be made using wood and metal wires. But always see to it that the outdoor conditions are actually suitable for the Standard Chinchilla.

You do not have to place a lot of decorations and toys in the Standard Chinchilla’s cage. They are not really shy types of rabbits and do not mind not having any places to use for hiding. On top of that, this rabbit also is not the most playful type, but it might make use of toys from time to time. Again, they are not necessary, but toys and other types of furnishings can be a good addition to your rabbit’s habitat.


Eating Habits.

The diet of a Standard Chinchilla is similar to any other domesticated rabbit breed. This variety of rabbits thrives when given a diet that is primarily based on hay or on grass as the Standard Chinchilla gets all of the nutrients it needs from such a food source. Some would say that these rabbits should have a diet that is about at least 60%. There are those that give their rabbits hey 70% of the time. The rest of their calorie intake should be based on leafy greens, vegetables, the occasional fruits. You can also give them a diet that is based primarily on commercial rabbit feed as this type of food already has a lot of the nutrients that rabbits need on a daily basis. When choosing vegetables and greens to feed your Standard Chinchilla, be extra careful as some can actually be dangerous or hazardous to their health. Go as simple as possible when choosing plant-based food for your rabbit to eat.

They can do well on a diet that incorporates clover, lettuce, and cabbage. Fruits can be a good addition to their daily diet but should be treated as occasional rewards since the sugar content of fruits can be too high for your Standard Chinchilla. Be wary of the fact that the Standard Chinchilla is prone to obesity. These plump rabbits easily get fat and overweight and are not the most active varieties of domesticated rabbits. Exercise may help them lose weight, but the problem lies in how you incorporate exercise in your Standard Chinchilla’s lifestyle as they tend to be quite lazy despite their playful and friendly demeanor. In that regard, the best way to make sure they do not get too fat is to watch the portion sizes and to schedule their feeding times well.

Standard Chinchillas need to regularly drink water since they need to hydrate their fat and plump bodies on a consistent basis. You can use either a water dish or a fountain-like water system. The most important part here is to keep an eye on the water and to make sure that it stays fresh and free of any contamination so as to minimize the risk of water-borne infections and illnesses.


Availability.

Standard Chinchillas are not the most difficult domesticated rabbits to find, as they are quite common in America. You can see plenty of these rabbits sold online by breeders all over the country. Most Standard Chinchillas have prices that are somewhere between $20 to $50. Go for ones that come from reputable breeders that breed their Standard Chinchillas based on strict standards. You can use any sort of guide you can find to know what to look for in a good Standard Chinchilla.
