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.
