15?? wah.. i heard chinchillas need to stay in air con room is it? otherwise, their fur wont be that nice..

Ya... If no AC, you need to give dust bath more often to make they fur fluffy or provide them cooling pad.

Health of the chinchilla will be reflect on their fur as well, if feeding poor feed, poor hay, feeding junk food(grapes/nuts/seeds/fruit/corn) you going to get a skinny and poor health chin which will make them look like a STREE RAT then Chinchilla.

How do you play with it ? I mean do they love tummy rub ? And do they perform trick ? Sorry , I know my questions sound random but I dont know .... never play with a rodent before :/

hahaha... Chinchilla is a smart rodent, but they not as smart as Dog and cat. You can train them doing some trick, but it take alot lot of time to make that happen. I didnt teach them any treat, I only make them feel good about my presence.

Each chinchilla have difference characteristic, some very tame, some very very tame, some is just nauty. They love you to give scratch them on their neck, some chin won't a lot you, some will. They not 'really' like begin held, usually from 3seconds - 5 minutes is the most, but we/human enjoy holding cause of the fur and is very tame when they feel secure in your holding position.

I always hold them, so each for 5mins x 15 = i got 1 hours 15 mins of holding! they will look at you when you walking around the cage doing cleaning, or waiting for you to let them out! OR waiting for you to feed them food.

two day sold already can see their fur..
how about the 1st day of birth??

For Chinchilla, baby born with fur, eyes open and can run after few hours was born, that's why Chinchilla pregnancy is 4 months. First few hours after born baby chin look a bit like have wet fur, but very fast it will dried up and fluffy. 2 days old started to jump and cage climbing

I manage to snap a photo(the one I get) 30 mins after baby was born.
