Chinchillas and felines can live under one roof pleasantly if it’s in the right conditions. If you already have a feline and you want to add a chinchilla in the household, then you have to observe your cat’s disposition intently. Felines that have mellow personalities are perfect companions for your new chinchilla.
On the contrary, if your feline still possesses strong hunting instincts, then they may consider the chinchilla as prey. If you’re thinking of putting the chinchilla in a cage, a feline can still attempt to attack through the bars of the cage or terrorize the chin by stalking their movements.
A laidback feline may ignore your new chinchilla. It will allow the chin to get accustomed to their new home without getting extremely stressed or anxious.
When you bring your chinchilla home, make sure that you check on both pets regularly. Observe how your feline behaves around the new addition so that there will be no unfortunate accidents happening.
If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your vet Middletown DE.
