How do I convince my dad that it is not cruel to keep a chinchilla in a cage?
Please Read:
We've been looking at getting a chinchilla and I'm in the process of persuading my parents to let me get one. Now all of a sudden my dad is saying to me that he doesn't like cages and he thinks it's not right to keep something as big as a chinchilla in a cage. We were thinking of getting this father-son pair and he keeps saying that the son will grow just as big as the dad and it's not right to keep them in a cage because it's not natural, but this cage (it comes with them) is really big. I'm so upset - he made me think I could have one (or two), I was so happy, and now he says this. Help me convince him it's ok! please =(
It's not as easy as you all think ='( my dad is going to say he doesn't want to see this cage at all. why on earth does he feel so strongly?!?!?! I've persuaded my mum and she's always the one that says no, my dad is never strict D'=
Answer:
Take him to a chinchilla adoption centre, or a chinchilla pet farm, or even a pet shop, and he can see for himself that chinchillas are kept in cages by most people, and that it's the way it's always been done. They know nothing better of where else they could live. Make the point that the cage is really big, and propose putting all kinds of toys and things in the cage, such as shelves, ropes, boxes and other things, because a chinchilla would rather have a lot of things to play with and keep themselves busy in a small cage than nothing to do in a really big one. And make sure he reads this answer for himself. Where else is he gunna keep it anyway?

All About The Violet Chinchilla
Most pet owners consider Chinchillas as an exotic choice for a pet. While they may not be as common as dogs and cats, Chins have carved their own niche among pet owners around the world. With their outgoing, lovable attitude and their smooth fur, Chinchillas are well loved. Coming from the Andes Mountain Ranges, these rodents were nearly extinct by the turn of the 20th century. But thanks to breeding technology, their specie has been saved. One of the many breeds in existence today is the violet Chinchilla.
The history of this breed goes back to the 1960s, particularly in South Africa. An American, Lloyd Sullivan, discovered this mutation while on a trip. Acknowledging the amazing characteristic of the breed, he immediately bought a group of violet Chinchillas. Transportation from South Africa to the US was tough though due to the existing trade embargo between the two countries at that time. So Sullivan hid the animals inside a cart and he went to Nigeria. From there he boarded a flight to West Germany, before proceeding to the United States. He then went to California to sell the first violet Chinchilla to an Oakhurst farm. In 1967, the public witness the first ever set of violet Chinchillas. Sullivan Violet is also another name given to this breed. It is also called Lavender and Afro-Violet.
Violet Chinchillas actually have solid to dark violet color. The most noticeable characteristic of this breed is their gray ears. They also have round, dark eyes. They likewise have an underbelly colored white similar to most Chin breeds. The skin of the Chin also has shades of solid grey and violet.
In breeding Violets, there are certain pointers to keep in mind. First, two Chins having this gene will produce a violet Chin. A violet Chinchilla mating with a non-carrier of the violet gene produces an infant with a 50 percent probability of becoming a violet carrier. Breeders should breed standards with a violet gene carrier. Ideally, the breeding pair is two standards carrying violet genes. Pairing a violet gene carrier with a Chin carrying standard violet is also recommended. Good quality breed is critical in breeding violets.
Caring for Violets starts by with a wide and spacious cage for them. Chinchillas are very fond of playing and thus their habitat should allow them to roam around and play. The diet for a violet Chinchilla is also important since they are susceptible to digestive problems. The most ideal diet for them is hay-based, since this is the natural food of Chinchillas in the wild. Hay-based pellets are available in most pet shops. They should also be given with dust bath as this helps in maintaining the smoothness of their fur.
Chinchillas vary in terms of color. There is the standard, the white Chins, as well as beige, charcoal, tan, pastel, sapphire, blue diamond, gold bar, among others. Like a violet Chinchilla, their wide variety of colors makes the animals even more loved and popular among pet owners.
