Introduction

If you have a pet chinchilla, then you know that this animal has an insatiable desire to chew. A chinchilla’s teeth are always growing, and they need something to chew on in order to keep their teeth worn down. If your pet chinchilla is not allowed to chew on things like wood or hay (which they should be) then they will likely resort to chewing on furniture! So what do these furry rodents get up to when they find themselves with nothing else?

Chinchillas are rodents, and as such have an instinct to gnaw every day.

Chinchillas are rodents, and as such have an instinct to gnaw every day. This is because their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives and need to be worn down in order for them to remain at a healthy length. For chinchillas this means about six inches per year!

The best way to keep your chin’s teeth healthy is by providing him or her with things to chew on in the form of sticks, wood blocks and hay cubes. Chins who do not have these things will often resort to chewing on other items – such as you!

Boredom can cause your pet chinchilla to chew more than usual.

Chinchillas are naturally curious and playful animals, so they enjoy chewing on things. Chewing can be an instinctual behavior for chinchillas, as it helps keep their teeth clean. However, owners should be aware that it can also relieve stress and boredom in the animal. Chinchilla owners should make sure their pet has plenty of toys and chew sticks to keep them busy and prevent excessive chewing.

Your chinchilla may be showing signs of pain or suffering from health problems.

If your chinchilla is chewing on its cage more than usual, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Chinchillas have very sharp teeth and can easily hurt themselves if they chew too much. A chinchilla may be chewing more if it has a toothache or gum disease, or if it’s trying to relieve stress caused by other health issues.

Your chinchilla can get a tooth injury when chewing.

Chinchillas are very curious creatures and will often chew on anything they find lying around the house: plastic furniture, shoes, books…you name it. While these items may seem harmless at first glance (or even tasty), chinchillas run into problems when their teeth become damaged. The best way to avoid this? Supervise them while they are awake so that you can retrieve dangerous items before they cause any harm!
