Domesticated chinchillas have been described as smarter than the average rabbit and more fun than rats. Chinchillas were first bred in captivity at the end of the 19th century, but it was not until 1920 that commercial breeding began.

C. chinchilla is distinguished from Lagidium and Lagotomus by its small size and differs from C. lanigera in its smaller rounded ears and a shorter tail.

Chinchilla lanigera was plentiful at this time, and one author reported that one could see an many as 1000 animals in one day. A case of infiltrative gastric adenocarcinoma in a 5-year-old female chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) is described.

It is distinguished by number of caudal vertebrae, 20 in C. chinchilla and 23 in C. lanigera (Cabrera 1960). Long-tailed chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera) are squirrel-size rodents native to the Andes. The animal died after a 5-day period of lethargy and anorexia. Chinchilla chinchilla can be distinguished from the long-tailed chinchilla C. lanigera by larger size (head and body length > 320 mm, shorter ears < 32 mm, and tail < 100 mm).
