Chinchillas are pocket pets and thus they have needs that are unique compared to other pets out there. One of the key requirements that you need to take care of is the grooming requirements of your pet chinchilla (or simply "chin"). Chinchillas or chins like to have a daily grooming program followed and they like to maintain a clean fur just like cats do. Chins can emit unique odors that can put off their owners even if chins have been de-scented. One way to cut down on the odor is by keeping the cage as well as the cage furniture clean regularly. Furthermore, you can also curtail the odor by putting the cage of your beloved chin in a place where ventilation is good (somewhere near a window or in your open garage). If you don't maintain your chin's fur, its fur can get dense and invite parasites like fleas or lice.
