Grey chinchilla

Our patient Mavis the #chinchilla wants you to know that #NationalChinchillaDay is not only about celebrating #chinchillas, but also about raising awareness about the threats they face in the wild along with what they need to be healthy and happy in captivity. #ChinchillaDay

Happy Natioal Chinchilla Day!
