Chinchilla Reviews

My first experience of Chinchillas happened through the free ads as their owner had become allergic to them. I collected two standard grey chinchilla boys and a large metal mesh cage. Cage - large, grey metal mesh cage with pull out draw for easy cleaning. The cage mesh covers the top of the draw so that the chinchillas never come into ...  Read the complete review

There are many, many animals here at Zoo FourPaws! I regularly bore you all half to death with the tales of Grace and Benson, my two dogs, so I thought it was about time some of the other animals got a look in! So I'd like to take this chance to share my experience of a pet which was once quite unusual but is now gaining in popularity, and that is ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I've had my chinchilla for almost a year now. Me and my boyfriend bought him from a woman who was going back to America and she couldn't take him. When we originally got him he was called Woody, needless to say he's not now! We called him Graham, it suits him so much, he looks like how I imaging Grahams to look, middle-aged and gray! ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking of getting a chinchilla I would definately recommend it. They differ from a lot of rodents in the fact that they dont smell and they dont get fleas. Get one though as they are not like other animals where if you dont want to breed then you get two of the same sex. The first thing to do is to get a ...  Read the complete review

Well I have read a few of the opinions written on chinchillas and nobody really has a bad word to say about them, well I do I'm afraid. My chinchilla was grey and he was called horace, he was so cute as they all are. I bought him from a local pet shop for around £40.00, then the cage which was a lot more expensive than the ...  Read the complete review

As you'll have gathered from the other reviews, chinchillas are just gorgeous little creatures. They're expensive to buy but fairly easy to maintain and I wouldn't agree that they tend to bite or that their teeth are very sharp - not when compared with a hamster, for example! Our chinchilla was pretty friendly and loved to be ...  Read the complete review

To start with, purchasing a chinchilla can be pretty expensive. In my area they usually cost around £35 for the common haired variety, but this may vary elsewhere. Added on top of this is a cage is required which needs to be made of metal, otherwise they will just chew it, and large. A decent cage can cost quite a large sum too. Once ...  Read the complete review

Last year a friend who was moving to the City asked me if I would take her Ranch Chinchillas. Her new landlord wouldn't let her keep pets in her new flat. We have kept Chinchillas in the past, and I like them, so I replied yes we would give them a home. After all, we already have a horse, and six guinea pigs, so three more pets ...  Read the complete review

She is absolutely adorable, and great fun to watch. I soon got her a friend, in case she got lonely, and then as I was hooked, I bought 2 more. They are very entertaining ...  Read the complete review
