just got a Chinchilla for a new pet with the wife yesterday, never seen one before i got it the wife liked it and we needed a new pet for inside we have a outdoor rotweiler, man these chinchillas look weird like a cros between a rabit a mouse and a squerel(dont know how to spell) has any one ever had a chinchilla? will take some pics of the little guy soon, how hard are these guys to take care of? what do they like for treats? thanks for the info

 

Yep, once. It was a little tough and stringy, but that may have been the way it was cooked...

 

Are you makin' fun of my name? I'll have to get my friend Bullwinkle to come rough you up!

And it's spelled 'skwerl'.

 

chinchillas are interesting lil mutants. Take a bath in dust and like chewing on stones. Dont smell as bas as guinea pigs tho so thats a plus, dont whine as bad either. Enjoy your new addition.

 

Get yourself another of the opposite sex and you can breed wifey a new coat.

 

thanks for all the input guys

 

wasnt making fun of you RockyJSquirrel, i named the chinchilla after you thou

 

Never had a chinchilla but had a cha cha cha chia.

 

Hey! thats what I got the wife for Christams- a chia! the one that looks like this guy------------------>

 

I only see them around Christmas so do they hibernate the rest of the year.

inbred, Did it taste like spicey chicken?

 

Nope, tasted like alligator, which tastes like Snapping turtle, which tastes like bullfrogs, which tastes like, ummm, never mind.
