Boy, if there was a more magical book, tell me where to find it. It’s recommended for children ages +4, but personally I find it perfect for adults, too. Daisy tells the story of a little 3-legged chinchilla, who, with her friend Rosie overcomes some serious trauma. My favorite part of this book is that, in many ways, helps children and adults, both, understand that animals, like people, go through trauma, but with some help can survive. And even if they look different, they can still be loved. I actually cried reading it. Most. Endearing. Book. Ever. Buy it here.
This one’s a little lengthy, but if you’re looking for a book with literally SO MUCH info on chinchillas, look no more. Anatomy, lifecycle, housing, feeding, training, health care, etc. I mean, the list goes on on what’s covered in this book. Because it was written by a veterinarian, it can get a little technical at times, but that’s really not a bad thing, in my opinion. The more you know about your chinchilla, the better you’ll be able to take care of them. And obviously, the happier they’ll be. Snatch it up.
Ultimate Chinchilla Care, Thomas Layton
This one really, in my opinion, mimics the above handbook, but it’s a little shorter. So if you’re not one to like the long stuff, go with this. Care, health, diet, housing, food etc. are all covered. However, if you’re an expert and looking for some info, I would stick with “The Chinchilla Handbook.” This one is definitely geared toward beginners, and experts would probably be slightly disappointed. Buy yours here.
Chinchilla Art Journal Coloring Book, Olga Goloveshkina
Of course, every list ends with a coloring book. This is the best one I found (in my personal opinion), but there are actually, surprisingly a few options out there. I usually have a hard time finding multiple exotic animal coloring books (can you tell what I do in my free time?). So if you’re in the market for a chinchilla art book… you’re in luck! Go ahead, snag it.
