How to accustom a chinchilla to a name

The chinchilla is distinguished by its developed intelligence and good memory. She quickly remembers her name

Therefore, it is very important not to change the name after the animal reaches three months of age. When the owner changes, it is more difficult for the animal to adapt to the new option

The process of accustoming a rodent to its nickname consists of the following actions:

1. When the owner passes by the animal, he must call it. This should be said in a calm and gentle voice, pronouncing the word clearly. Too loud emotions can frighten your pet. This will complicate the learning process or the animal will stop accepting the nickname due to fear.
2. At every meal, you must call your pet by its nickname. In order for the animal to quickly get used to its name, it is recommended to feed it at the same time.
3. To speed up learning, the owner should encourage the animal with some kind of treat. Don't overdo it with the amount of treats. This may affect the pet's health. As a tasty treat, you can use raisins, rose hips, dried fruits and dried pieces of apples and pears. Pet stores sell special treats.

Every animal needs a name. To name your pet, there is a wide choice of nicknames. This is quite a responsible decision. By the chosen nickname you can determine the owner’s attitude towards the pet. It is advisable for the whole family to participate in coming up with a nickname. Then, from the many proposed options, you will be able to choose the optimal one.

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 your pet to a name

The animal should be accustomed to the chosen name from the very first days of its residence in the house. When passing by the cage or simply approaching your pet, call him. When feeding your chinchilla with its favorite treats, say the name you are teaching it several times. The intonation at this time should be calm and affectionate; you cannot shout at the animal or pronounce words in a rude voice.

You shouldn’t come up with new diminutive derivatives of your nickname every time. This will confuse the animal. With the proper intelligence of the pet and your own perseverance, the result will be noticeable within a few weeks.

The chinchilla will get used to responding to the name, will begin to run up to the feeder and demonstrate friendliness. It is even easier to stimulate such a response with the help of raisins, which chinchillas adore. But take precautions to avoid upset stomach of the animal. The pet should receive no more than 1-2 raisins per day.

The most “fluffy” nicknames

The most important “highlight” of a chinchilla is its fur. Soft, silky, fluffy. I want to touch him endlessly. Of course, for such an animal, “fluffy” nicknames will be very relevant.
