Any pet owner, having a pet, explicitly or implicitly hopes that the reward for feeding, cleaning the cage, visits to the veterinarian will be love, loyalty, or at least a friendly attitude to the pet. It is clear that the result can be obtained faster and easier if, along with the mandatory care program, we tame and raise a cute animal.
Of course, raising, for example, fish in an aquarium is a futile affair. Get a "conscious" pet!
Our choice is chinchilla!
Like any rodent, a chinchilla is a rather timid and shy creature. They are almost like people - each has its own character, and you will never meet two identical animals. Already tamed chinchillas are characterized by sociability and activity. Some of them can be called real "perpetual motion machines."
They also suffer from resentment, oddly enough it sounds in relation to rodents. But in general, these animals can be very affectionate and gentle. They adore when they are cared for and love to be the center of attention of the owners.
Having got the animal, do not rush to strangle it in the arms. He needs time to get used to. First of all, equip a chinchilla cage with maximum comfort. And think about the name, and the names for the chinchillas should be chosen immediately and forever. Retrain accustomed to the nickname of a rodent is quite difficult.
In a few days, the animal will calm down and get comfortable in the new territory. Feed your pet at the same time.
How to call her
You can hear from the breeders that these animals are one of the most intelligent representatives of the rodent squad. Names for chinchillas are quite perceived by them! Moreover, they learn them and even respond!
It is difficult to say whether this statement is 100% true. But still, name the animal not too long and complex nickname, conveniently pronounced for you personally and easy for the pet to remember. Better if the name will be no more than 5-6 letters.
Some owners prefer the most real human names. Well, the taste and color, as you know ... If only the people around were not offended!
How to teach a pet a name
To accustom the beast to the chosen name follows from the very first days of his stay in the house. Walking past a cage or just approaching a pet, call it. When feeding your favorite treats to the chinchilla, pronounce the nickname you are accustomed to several times. Intonation at this time should be calm and affectionate, you can not shout at the animal or pronounce words in a harsh voice.
Every time you should not come up with new diminutive derivatives of the nickname. This will confuse the animal. With due care for the pet and your own persistence, the result will be noticeable in a few weeks.
Chinchilla gets used to responding to a name, starts running up to the feeder and demonstrates friendliness. Stimulating such a response is even easier with the raisins that chinchillas love. But follow the measure to avoid upset stomach of the animal. On the day the pet should receive no more than 1-2 raisins.
What names suit them?
This animal, without a doubt, has its own personality, and expressed quite clearly. Your pet may be cautious or, conversely, quite active, calm or sociable, as well as excitable or, conversely, phlegmatic.
Names for chinchillas can reflect the characteristics of the characters of these pussies. To name the animal by this principle, carefully observe the pet. Even when choosing a baby among brothers and sisters sitting in the same cage, pay attention: someone who sees a stranger will freeze in fear, someone will not pay the slightest attention to a person, and someone will reach for the door of the cage.
Sometimes the names for the chinchillas themselves pop up in my head at one glance at the selected animal. For example, I want to call a phlegmatic, cozy kid a Plush or a Fluff, a small and touching one - a Toddler or a Pupsik, an active and a she-boy - Shustrik, etc.
If on the fly nothing came to mind, think about choosing a beautiful name. As already mentioned, the nickname of the chinchilla should not be too long or complex. In addition to the inconvenience of pronunciation, such a name is also fraught with the fact that sooner or later you want to reduce it, and the animal will have to be retrained. Alternatively, you can take a couple of names at once - full and short. But then the training can drag on.
Focus on sounds
Like cats, chinchillas better perceive names containing whistling and hissing sounds (that is, s, s, s, u, w, h, w). By the way, pronouncing such names is easier for the owner.
You can call a chinchilla girl a Bead or just a Busia, Mouse or Masha, Sonya, Chupa, Sima or Piggy. Looking for a name for a chinchilla boy? Name your pet Barsik, Boxing, Jerry, Jack, Richie, Sharik, Shurshik and the like.
Quite often, owners (especially young ones) call a chinchilla by the name of a character in a movie, book or cartoon. Sometimes a nickname can be chosen in honor of a city or other geographical object. Sometimes a pet is called the sonorous name of a musical idol. There are also cases such as names in honor of a car brand.
