The current article establishes that the inclusion of water enriched with molecular hydrogen in the diet of animals increasesthe total share of their active behavior. It was found that the animals from the control group spent more time on sleep and restduring the day for inactive behaviors (sleep, drowsiness, rest) than the animals from the experimental group. According to theactive forms of behavior (consumption, autocoprophagy, grooming, taking water, moving around the cage, gnawing a woodenbar, gnawing the mesh of the cage, gnawing a wooden shelf, bolus feeding, stretching, scratching, communicating with thechinchillas of the neighboring cage), the greatest differences were found in moving around the cage. The females of theexperimental group spent more time moving in the cage than the females of the control group. In contrast to the control group,the females of the experimental group spent more time on grooming during the day and night period. Based on the eating behavior(feed intake, water intake and autocoprophagia), it was established that in the experimental group, chinchillas spent more timeon feed consumption than in the control group.
