Thank You Soo Much, But I’d Probally Couldn’t Do The Get 2 Chin’s Thing. I Know That I’d Give It a lot Of Attention Where It Wouldn’t Need A Buddy. I Have A Ferret Also,..

Answer #2

Chinchillas make great pets, it depends on what you would like to know about them. They can be cuddly, depending on how you raise it. If you do get one I recommend that you get a baby from a breeder, so that you can get it use to human contact. But if you get an adult from the petstore chances are you’ll have a bad, untamed, biting machine. I recommend you do some research before you adopt one, this is not an animal that can just sit in cages by itself with the no contact, I also recommend getting another chinchilla so your other one doesn’t get lonely. In the wild they traveled in packs of 2 to 3 maybe more.
