I have a chinchilla …
I have a chinchilla and love it to death!!! I did a ton of research on it and got all the info I needed. I have had him for 4 months. I took him down stairs at Easter (everyone came to my house (there was a total of 17 people there)) and everyone got to pet him and a few people held him. I was really surprised he didnt have a heart attack. Anyway he is so sweet. If you are thinking about getting one do your research on it before getting it. After you buy it you wont regret it!

This is for people who want to buy a chinchilla. Chinchillas aree very very cute, but dont only buy 1 because of this! A Chinchilla isnt like a hamster, u dont just feed it, water it, give it treats and opick it up. They need extra special care. Sand baths, bigger cages, they cost a lot more money than smaller pets. Please please please! researche before you think about buying one. ! Thank you!

Only some Petsmarts have them. If you ask sometimes they can order one for you if they don’t have any. They are $150. Do your research before buying one though!
