You can get preventive measures for dogs and cats from a vet, not sure about chinchillas. If their head and neck are about the same diameter, keeping a collar on one would be a good trick. Spraying the area around their enclosure with something that kills ticks wouldn’t be a bad idea either. read more

Chinchillas make great indoor pets because they are odorless and their fur is so dense that they can not get pests such as fleas. Chinchillas also have no dander so people who are allergic to other pets can usually tolerate chinchillas without problems. They are very social animals, so if you only have one you will become its family. read more
