This early work is an absorbing read for any chinchilla owner or
historian of the breed, but also contains a wealth of information and
anecdote that is still useful and practical today. Illustrated with
forty text photographs. Contents Include: The Chinchilla and Its Fur;
Checking; Care of Pregnant and Lactating Females and the Young; Feeding;
Care of Sick and Injured; Breeding; Housing, Equipment and Sanitation;
Records; Pelting; and a Glossary. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
