Group: Semi-Arched
Varieties: Chinchilla. The color resembles a real chinchilla, with a wavy white and black surface color.
Weight: Males: 12 to 15 pounds, Females: 13 to 16 pounds
Physical Attributes: The shoulders are fairly long, moving into a medium-length body which rounds over the rump. The ears are upright and fairly long. The color at the base of the fur, next to the skin, is slate blue. Then there is a band of white hair, followed by a narrow band of black fur.
Personality: Giant Chinchillas are generally quite calm and enjoy attention. They are often referred to as one of the gentle giant breeds.
Coat Type and Grooming: Giant Chinchillas have a short coat that is easy to care for. Weekly grooming with a slicker brush are fine, except during shedding season when bi-weekly grooming may be required.
They love attention and are very playful! My chinchilla bunny follows me around from room to room and always makes sure that he has me in his sights. He always puts his face under my hands (or feet for that matter) to be pet!
