Ill start by telling you about my two boys Chokey (Wilson white aged approximately 2 years) and Gillium (standard grey aged one) I got Chokey last year, at the time i was looking for a chinchilla and saw him advertised for free, i felt sorry for him being advertised in such a manner (as people know sometimes animals offered in this way don't end up in sutible homes) so i went and picked up my new little boy - he came with his (dirty) cage and a food im sure anyone who owns a chinchilla will know is inappropriate alone After Chokey had settled in i decided to get him a companion and got Gillium - a one year old stan dard grey male, from a rescue ...  Read the complete review

Chinchillas are available in most large pet shops and although they are not as popular as hamsters or guinea pigs they make great pets. They are alert, friendly and funny animals to watch. My chinchillas are very nervous but have been previously miss treated, they wont bite unless startled, but as time has gone on they have become less frightened and more hand tame. Chinchillas fur is very fine and fragile this will easily fall out if handled by you too much, i find picking my chinchillas up by sliding my hand under neith them then cuddling them to my body using my arms as opposed to my hands helps to stop them loosing there ...  Read the complete review

Over the last few years theres been a wave of new trends in pets. No longer content with dogs and hamsters , the pet world has moved on to snakes, spiders, even scorpions!!! Personally I can't understand why anyone would want a pet scorpion, except to scare other people (like me). I mean, crazy much? No offense to any scorpion owners out there! On the cuddlier end of the trendy pet scale are chipmunks, degus, and of course, chinchillas. Personally I think caging animals like chipmunks (which are essentially squirrels) is dead cruel. I always felt the same about chinchillas until I fell in love with a pair at an animal sanctuary a couple of years ago. Unlike ...  Read the complete review

After recently losing my first Chinchilla Cecil I realised how speacial these animals are and how once you have a Chinchilla they really do become apart of your life in a special way! NATURAL CHINCHILLAS - SOUTH AMERICA The Chinchillas' original home is the dry areas of the High Andes and Cordillera in South America where they live in caves and rock crevices. They have to hide from their worst enemies which include birds of prey, and they also like to protect themselves from very strong sunlight. They live as high up as the snowlines in the mountains as cold does not faze them because they have very thick fur which protects them from losing body heat. ...  Read the complete review

Many people feel their home isn’t a home without a pet of some kind. I’m one of these people, and I’d ideally love to have a dog or a cat, but as I live in a fairly small flat and work all day, it isn’t practical and wouldn’t be fair to such a dependent animal. For anyone who feels the same way...I highly recommend a chinchilla as the ideal pet! Chinchilla’s are small furry mammals, slightly smaller than a rabbit, and the best way I can think of describing them is like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel. They are nocturnal, which means they are awake most of the night, and they can live up to 15 years if cared for ...  Read the complete review
