How are chinchillas as pets?
He's been pretty good.. I got him at a pet store @ 6 months old, so it was a lil old to train him. I've seen tons of videos on you tube and live ones where they can play tricks and will stay with the owner. Some are even pee trained.
They don't cost much to keep either. I spend about maybe 200 Cad at most a year on his supplies..
-Pellets
-Hay
-Bedding
-Random snacks here and there
I used to let mine out in residence every night while I Did my home work or watched TV, and once in a while he'd sit with me while I did either. 90% of the time hes running around looking for things to bite.
