Chinchillas can live up to 15 years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity. But the oldest chinchilla record was over 29 years old ( 29 years 229 days).
One of the most interesting aspects of chinchilla life is their social behavior. They live in colonies that can number up to 100 individuals. Chinchillas are nocturnal and primarily feed on vegetation such as grasses, seeds, and fruits.

An intriguing fact about chinchillas is their ability to take “dust baths”, which are essential for maintaining the health of their fur. They bathe in volcanic ash or dust, which helps remove grease and moisture from their fur.
Chinchillas also have a unique reproductive ability. Their gestation lasts about 112 days, which is one of the longest periods for rodents.
