Just a little cuteness to brighten your day! These beautiful chinchilla's are not for adoption. My personal pet's!

I DECLARE THIS PILE OF CHIN POOP A HEALTHY SHERWOOD POOP! 🧻💩🧻💩🧻💩🧻💩🧻💩🧻💩🧻💩 All kinds of herbivores face a certain difficulty in their diet. Although plant life is abundant and usually easy to obtain, plants are hard to digest. Herbivores of all kinds have to possess a sophisticated digestive system just to get everything they need from their diet. They need the aid of beneficial bacteria to break down plant material and have specific places in digestive tract where their food ferments. Chinchillas digest plants using hindgut fermentation. This type of herbivore is monogastric with a simple, one-chambered stomach. Chinchillas house the bulk of their beneficial bacteria in the cecum. After eaten food leaves the stomach and small intestine, it goes into the cecum. The cecum is where fermentation takes places. It houses the bacteria that breaks down cellulose, a large component of plants that is otherwise indigestible. Chinchillas also have a well developed cecum. The large intestine absorbs what it can but much of the nutrients now made available by fermentation are lost in feces. This is why chinchillas eat some of their poops! The cecum makes a certain poo called cecotropes. Cecotropes are nutritionally concentrated and full of beneficial bacteria. This is the kind of poop chinchillas will ingest. Coprophagy might seem gross but it is important for chinchillas to do. They get more nutrition and it helps maintain their gut flora populations! The whole process takes about 15 hours from start to finish. Chinchillas rely so much on this system that any imbalance can cause major issues. How does a chinchilla's digestive system become unbalanced? What can cause an imbalance? Gastrointestinal stasis or GI stasis is one of the deadliest things a small herbivore can get. It can have many causes and can be a result of another issue or the instigator to other problems. GI stasis occurs when the digestive system slows down or stops. Chinchillas should have food available at all

🎸🎸ChillBill & Ted's Excellent Adventure🎸🎸 Can't wait to see the new movie! 🎸ChillBill & Ted must remain together to form the band "PooFighter's" whose music will become the core of the future's Utopian Chinchilla society. Rufus finds that ChillBill and Ted are on the verge of failing their high school history class, and, should Ted fail, his father, Police CaptainChin Logan will ship him off to an Alaska military academy, effectively ending the pair's dreams of forming a band. As the two try to write a history report by asking customers questions at a local Circle Chin, Rufus introduces himself to them. Though ChillBill and Ted are skeptical of Rufus' claims, they are convinced when future versions of themselves land nearby and explain the situation to them. Rufus reveals to ChillBill and Ted the secrets of the Circuit of Chinchilla History and attempt to save the Chinchilla population from becoming extinct and can transport anywhere in time in this phone booth timemachine. Their first stop Inca in Chile, 1470s when the Inca Empire was absorbed by SouthAmerica. The main settlements of the Inca Empire in Chile lay along the Aconcagua, Mapocho and Maipo rivers. Quillota in Aconcagua Valley was likely the Incas' foremost settlement when chinchillas flourished the mountains.
