i absolutely love my chinchilla. her name is Chica and she is 1 year old. I never thought they could have so much personality but she does. She is easy to maintain and loves to play. she also loves being scratched under the chin, on the shoulder and head and just about anywhere. she does hate my cat and tried to bite her. I love CHINCHILLAS!!!

I'm getting a Male chinchilla and your site reasured me that a chinchilla is the right pet for me! I am getting a male because I read in one of the chinchilla sites that females may squirt urine on you for the first couple of weeks so I'll stick with males!

i had two chinchillas. their names were starsky and hutch. a few days ago, hutch got lost under our playhouse. we finally got him out 2 days ago. he lost a lot of weight but other than that he looked fine. he died last night. i am thinking about getting another one to keep starsky company but im not sure if its a good idea.

i love chinchillas, they are awesome pets. great for children to take care of and easy to take care of. i have one so i sorta know and they are very interesting pets and different pets. Now since i have one, all of my friends want one so bad!
I have been around chinchillas since i was 3 years old. they are awesome. I also hope you enjoy animals including chinchillas, i suggest before you get one read about them. But for me as i was getting older i started to read alot about them. When i was little i just began to fall in love with them. So if you want to learn more about chinchillas read about them and get one of your own!

I have a male chinchilla named Guvava and he is the cutest little thing. We brought him home last year from a pet shop when he was 8 months old. At first the poor little thing was so scared of everything he just dashed for his purple igloo every time someone just approached the cage. I worked with him every day and now he is the total opposite of what he used to be now when people walk by the cage he hops onto his perch and pokes his nose through the bars of his cage to investigate. If you get close to the cage he'll show off for you by bouncing off the walls of his cage all while he makes these little muttering noises just so he cane be let out or scratched on his fuzzy little head. :)

I have had my Chin for almost a year now and I LOVE HIM! Sometimes he loves being held and other times he would rather be left alone. I spoil him and buy him every Chinny thing I can. He has never bit me. I would love if he could cuddle more, but as I understand, they don't always like to do so. Its so hard not to give him lots of treats because mine will beg and beg for some, but I know they are not good for him so he just gets a few a day. I recommend a Chin for someone who is patient and has no small children as Chins need their rest in the daylight. Mine stays in my room because I am nocturnal as my Chin. Lets save the Chins from being coats!
