Can Chinchillas swim?
NO! They cannot get wet!!! Well okay, if avoidable, do NOT let, or try to get, your chinchilla to swim. If it ever occurs that your chinchilla jumps into a pond or something (like mine did) they will probably survive. My chinchilla was outside and he ran into the pond, it is about half a meter wide and being the smart chinchilla he was he 'swam' to the other side, as in; he kept his head above the water and got safely to the other side. He gave us all a heart attack and was soaking wet, but he survived. If wet and not tended to immediately, a swim could be fatal. Your chinchilla can get a chill or worse. SO NO! DON'T TRY IT! They DO take dust baths (no, not with actual dust, stuff you buy at a pet store...)
