A CHINCHILLA is a South America animal of the family of 'RODENTIA'. A nocturnal rock hopper inhabiting the High Andes, it's fur is one of most dense of any other animal (60 hairs per follicle) in the world. Disappearing rapidly in it's natural environment in great numbers. However, the chinchilla is getting more popular in captivity because of it's sensitivity, shyness and intelligence. These factors accompanied by the chinchilla's cleanliness and relatively uncomplicated lifestyle mean it has become a popular pet.
ABOUT, 'THE
CHINCHILLA CHAT LINE' (C.C.L.). In February 1998, Founder/Senior Advisor, Roger
Whear, inaugurated the 'Chinchilla Chat Line' (C.C.L.). Which exists to promote
and expand knowledge of the chinchilla hence creating a more responsible,
caring and euphoric life for them. Observational advice is provided free to
all who request it and as far as we know, C.C.L. is the first organisation
of it's kind in the world. We always recommend any physical ailments/problems
should immediately be treated by a professional veterinary practitioner (contact
details available on our site).
Finally 'Chinchilla Chat Line' is a non-commercial organisation providing
us an unbiased platform for all things 'CHINCHILLA'.

We have spread our net even further internationally (with both Roger and me receiving telephone calls, emails and letters from places as far flung as Australia, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil to name but a few).
