A chinchilla can last 3-5 days without food or water, drawing on stored energy due to its strong vitality. But the owner should not leave it unfed long, as prolonged hunger harms health; feed it once daily with pellets and hay. Also check its eating and excretion regularly, and adjust the diet if anything is abnormal.
