Funny fluffy animals, similar to both a hare and a mouse, have long and firmly won the attention of lovers of unusual pets. And, although chinchillas require special care and attention, the cuteness of these creatures is off the charts. Watching fluffies take a sand bath is both funny and attractive.
In general, everything suggests that these cute creatures deserve the most interesting and unusual nickname. Let's see what name can be given to such a pet.

Grumpy, glutton or clean?
Chinchillas are not distinguished by any particularly extreme character, they are quite accommodating and sweet, but each animal has its own habits. If you take a closer look at the new resident, you can quickly figure out his preferences and inclinations.
The first impression that you get is that the “baby” likes to sleep? Easy and simple - Sonya, Splyushik. Animals with the corresponding behavior can be called Twirler, Zhivchik, Rogue, Bully or Bully, Slick, Playful and even Zorro or Loki. Those who like to refuel thoroughly are called:

The naming was successful - everyone liked the name of the new tenant, and now it would be nice for him to understand: this is HIS name, and he must respond to it.
People who have extensive experience communicating with chinchillas recommend that when talking with an animal, not to call them several affectionate names at once, such as “my sweetie”, “my beauty”, but to clearly pronounce the nickname given when meeting them.
A system of conditioned reflexes helps to accustom a chinchilla to a name.
When calling the rodent to you, hold in your hand some tasty product for him. I come up to you and give you a treat. A smart animal will very quickly correlate the sound of its nickname with the subsequent treat. This is how it will stick in memory.
The choice of a nickname for a chinchilla is not limited by any framework or clear and defined rules. It all depends on how developed the imagination and sometimes the sense of humor of the owners are, as well as how much they have managed to get to know the character and habits of their pet.
Nicknames by origin
According to researchers, the name of these animals comes from the name of the South American Indian tribe Chinchil, who were later exterminated by the Incas. Unfortunately, practically nothing is known about the Chinchyl tribe, except that they sewed clothes from the skins of these animals, combed them and spun yarn from the fluff. Most likely, the Indians bred chinchillas as pets. Although the tribe's language is lost, the common Indian origin speaks for itself. Why not give the animal an interesting name with a reference to the Indian dialect? Both interesting and unusual. Let's see what names for chinchillas, boys and girls, can be borrowed from the Indians.

How to accustom a chinchilla to a name
Chinchillas are very intelligent representatives of the rodent order, therefore they are able to remember and respond well to their nickname. There is no special technology for accustoming an animal to a nickname.
To make your pet remember its name, follow these simple steps:
- When passing a cage with an animal, call it by name. The voice should be gentle, the pronunciation should be clear.
- When feeding, call your pet by name several times each time. Feeding should take place at the same hours every day.
- When you call your rodent and he responds, give him a treat.
Important! When rewarding your pet with treats, you should strictly monitor the quantity and never overfeed the animal. For training purposes, you can use dried apricots, prunes, raisins, fresh fruits, rosehips, or special store-bought treats for animals. Thus, the choice of names for a small furry animal is huge. Approach the choice of nickname responsibly, but with humor. Remember that a pet's name can tell a lot about you as the owner and your attitude towards our little brothers.

What can you call a chinchilla?
When choosing a name for some animals, for example, breeding cows and bulls, there are a number of rules, for example, the animal's name must begin with the same letter as the name of the same-sex parent. When choosing a nickname for purebred cats and dogs, you should also adhere to some recommendations. In the case of a chinchilla nickname, the only limiting factor is your imagination.
Some traits of his character or appearance, funny habits and habits, even taste preferences can inspire a name for a pet. A popular option is also to name it after your favorite hero or character. The main thing is that the nickname is convenient, simple, and not too long. Below we will look at the options for names for chinchillas, grouped according to certain characteristics into categories. Important! It’s optimal if the animal’s nickname consists of 3–6 letters, including hissing ones—the pet is more likely to remember a short, expressive name. If the nickname is too long and complex, you need to come up with a shortened form for it.

- for a boy: Alex, Albert, Dutchman, Antonio, Jerry, Blake, Walter, Noel, Mark, Leonardo, Jack, George;

Simple wire cutters
The most primitive device is very similar to ordinary scissors. Only one of its cutting surfaces is equipped with a small notch with a sharp edge. Using such a device is easy, provided you have some skill and experience. For young dogs, nail trimming is always stressful. They do not want to sit quietly, they strive to tear the paw out of the owner’s hands and in every possible way complicate the process. So Litbro.ru will not recommend such a gadget to novice dog breeders. The risk of causing serious physical injury to your pet is too great. Well, for experienced owners who have used similar tools more than once, nothing better can be desired. Cheap and very effective.
Cost – 35 – 72 rubles.
More advanced versions of hand cutters offer expanded functionality.
Although their main part, in the old fashioned way, is based on two cutting surfaces. Service additions imply only human convenience. Models with rounded ends, a container for cut claws and lighting have proven themselves very well. The fact is that some dogs have the habit of looking for clipped ends on the floor and eating them. Sharp, bent cuttings can damage the stomach wall and cause bleeding. A small “waste collection” effectively solves this problem.
Price – 636 rub.
Another gadget from the line of simple nippers has comfortable ergonomic handles that allow you to securely hold the tool while trimming nails.
This is important when the animal gets nervous and breaks out.
We pay attention to one more detail - the expansion spring. It fixes the cutting surfaces in the open state, which makes the operation somewhat easier.
Otherwise, the functions of the device duplicate all the features of its predecessors. To properly shorten claws, you must have the skill and achieve unquestioning obedience from your dog or cat.
Cost – 229.93 rubles.
