Answers: Chinchilla rats are distributed throughout the Andes from southern Peru to west central Argentina, northern Chile, and into Bolivia. Depending on the species, they range from the foothills of the west coast of Peru and Chile, to the 12,000–15,000 ft (3,660–4,570 m) elevations of the Altiplano of western Bolivia and southeastern Peru.
Both males and females are nocturnal, and hold on to to their burrows or crevices by day.
Hunting and destruction of their habitats, in decree to secure the fur, is responsible for declining populations. The fur, which resembles the prized fur of the true chinchilla, is sold to the unsuspecting buyer.
Other than people - I would guess that their greatest threats are the predators surrounded by the areas of the world where they're found. Since they are nocturnal, their predators probably are too.
I hope this helped, good luck!
cats?
