I own a Chinchilla and he is the most adorable thing on earth. He is so soft and cute.
Chinchillas are not hard to care for. It is no more than owning a cat or dog. Because of the thick, soft fur, chinchillas do not attract pests such as fleas and ticks. Insects will suffocate, so there is a bonus.
Their diet mainly contains berries and nuts and lots of Timothy Hay. They do have a sensitive stomach, therefore you have to be careful of what you feed it. You can buy chinchilla food at pet stores such as PetsMart and Petco. You can even buy some hamster foods that contains nuts and berries for chinchillas....

Always look for reputable breeders or rescues in your area, before the petstore. If for no other reason than financial! You can often get a pedigreed, healthy pet from a rescue or breeder for $50 versus the $120+ at your local petstore.
One negative is that you cannot often buy a good cage for them from a local pet store. They can chew through plastic, so be wary... read full review »

Chins can be really messy (poops fly everywhere!) and it is so hard to find healthy products for them in stores. I end up buying most of my stuff from fancier pet stores or online. Also, many people seem to be allergic to the dust they bathe in. But keep in mind they need dust (not sand) to properly clean their fur.
I have found out the hard way that the temperature rule... read full review »
I have always heard about chinchillas. how they are made of coats and hunted for there fur. just recently i was looking to get a pet for my 2 year old. We cant have a dog because we have to pay a pet deposit. and i am not a fan of cats. But i recently was thinking of getting a caged pet but they dont do too much until i seen my chinchilla. i knew i wanted him from the time i saw him. chinchillas are high maintnance pets. they are very expensive but if you have the time and money, they make wonderfull pets. i wanted to name hime mr tinkles but my boyfreind said thats a horrible name so i named him...

Not knowing too much about these adorable creatures at the outset, I have to say that I'm thrilled to have such a cute, low-maintenance and fun pet! "Dusty" the Chinchilla has a real personality and is a happy and interesting member of the family. He loves Cheerio treats and watching him use his little paws to eat is so cute! He loves being stroked under the chin and behind his ears and snuggles into the crook of my arm when we take him out of his condo to play. He's very active - kind of a cross between an rabbit and a squirrel - and he loves to run around like crazy at night. He also loves...

chinchillas are GREAT pets. they dont smell, they are very easy to take care of. they are funny!!
Chinchillas are smarter than some cats! they can be trained to use a litter box.
they CANNOT get wet!! or they WILL DIE!!!
ive raised chins for over 10 years and they are awesome animals. some DO like to cuddle, some dont. ALL love to run and jump!! so you need a large cage for them and you need to have a designated area (like a hallway) for them to exercise everyday!
