I used to have 3, they are super cute and fluffy and a great conversation starter. However... they shit a **lot,** up to 200 times a day, they cant eat certain woods so they need specific wood chip bedding, sticks to chew on, pummus rock which is a porous volcanic rock. they can and will run under your feet as your walking. They sleep pretty much all day and are nocturnal so they will be running everywhere and making noise late night. They are smart and stubborn so they will find super weird spots to hide if you arent careful (under your fridge, behind desks/dressers etc), they absolutely *cannot* get wet since their fur is so dense (around 200 hairs per follicle, humans have 1-2). They cant be put in the same cage because they will fight, unless theyre from the same litter, they will still fight sometimes though. Theyre really cool though

I went into a pet store one day and he was there. Gorgeous ebony & silver boy. He was a store pet because as the owner said: "We can't in good conscience inflict him on anyone." 🤣 He *loved* me, sat on my shoulder, hung out with me. I kept visiting him at the store and after about the 5th time they said, "Clearly this is your animal. He hates everyone else."

​@carmengogeidnas9670 I just thought of something - a lot of the animals raised by the fur trade don't make great pets unless socialized when young over generations. Mink, foxes, chinchillas, sable, martens are some that come to mind. Most common pets have been kept as pets for generations. Chins might only be a generation or two or three out of the fur farm, so pet qualities haven't been selected for over time with the breeding. They're bred for fur, not personality. I can say by the time I got to the third generation with the color morphs I was breeding for the pet trade, they were very desirable little beasts because I didn't release them from my care until they were hoodie trained. I had several boys I desensitized to the point where I could take them just about anywhere, and they sorta became de facto Chinchilla Ambassadors lol. My first chin, an ebony/silver boy, ended up almost bomb proof. Could take him just about anywhere. Had a travel box he liked if he wanted to get away from people. Otherwise he'd be on shoulder, top of my head, hoodie hood, or hoodie pocket. I always had to emphasize to people that Teekin was not a typical chin and to not go get one based on meeting him.

Here's to answer everyone's questions. The first one is just a random fact, but not all of them are like that. The second one is also a fact; I started off with two chinchillas and ended up with nine (I gave them all away though). The third one is a downside of having chinchillas; they're very messy. But if you clean their cage every day then you should be fine. The fourth one is because chinchilla's fur is so thick that you need to keep your house cold for them. If you like a cold house then you'll be fine. The fifth one is because since chinchillas need to be cool, if your power goes out then so does your air, and a chinchilla would die of heat stroke if that happened.

​@charlidabomb3723 INCREDIBLY true. It's the unfortunate side effect of people thinking that a 'caged critter' is less responsibility and, therefore, more suitable for a child's first pet. Something I desperately wish pet shops were more vocal about... or even cared about, for that matter, even a fraction as much as they do their bottom line. Point is, if you want easy and child friendly... Get them a teddy bear, not a living creature. And if you yourself don't have the time, money, or desire to properly take care of a living creature... Then please, save yourself the hassel, save yourself the ever growing financial investment that has a return of 0$ but lots of love, and save yourself the possible animal neglect charges... Or at the very least, the neglectful truth you will carry in your subconscious (so long as you aren't a straight up psychopath) that will come from acquiring a caged pet of ANY kind under the delusion that they will be less of a mess, less money, or less physically or emotionally needy than any other animal. Because you are lying to yourself if you do... For example, you mentioned "pain"... Not enough people understand how horrible a lack of love can be on a guinea pig. That love is evident to anyone who DOES take proper care of theirs but may be lost on those who have never seen it to begin with due to their neglect. Just as importantly, how when you love something, you think more about it's comfort, thereby avoiding the truly painful effects that those who lack love for theirs often overlook. Thereby causing pain to them, even if they do happen to try to care for them physically. It's easy to overlook things like unkept fur and specially the condition of their teeth and claws. They may be seen as 'skittish' or even 'unfriendly' because they might bite or run into a corner (as they likely don't have housing if they are mistreated) when they see you. Whereas a well cared for and well loved one, runs OUT of their housing and straight to the side of their environment to greet you with bright eyes and the very adorable, albeit quite loud, song of the Guinea Pig! Singing its little heart out with excitement, wondering what fresh veggies you brought him today. 😭 Sorry, writing this reminded me of the one my daddy raised when I was little, how much that little guy loved him, and all the things my dad taught me about them. From not feeding them the many things that are either toxic or just plain useless, the constant need for nail care and trimmings, and the certain foods and treats that make a visible difference in keeping their teeth in check. Even what's best to use as bedding, how often to clean their environments, and why it can be so beneficial to live in farm-country if you own one. Lol, my goodness, those little creatures can truly make a full-grown man fall in love with them, huh? When you know how special the heart of a well cared for and beloved Guinea pig is... It just hurts that much more to know more guinea pigs are in bad living situations than healthy ones. Heck, that's not even mentioning the number of people who simply aren't appreciating them or seeing them as deserving of a well suited and capable adult owner. As opposed to a neglectful child, that likely hasn't even developed empathy yet.

Why do they need to be so cold?

They live in high elevations that stay cold most of the year. They adapted to have thick fur so they overheat easily.

As a reptile parent I can also say I am afraid of the power going out

How do reptiles live in the wild without power?

@@TomikaKelly They have the ecosystem and their natural habitat. Enclosures mimic an animals natural habitat. So when the power goes out that means heat lamps can go out. And heat lamps are like the sun for them. I hope that helps!

This video is so adorable😊💗

I LOVE the enclosures you have for them..they truly don't realize how good they have it 😂

Very very true , there definitely not good for anyone who thinks they can cuddle and chill with them , I have two and I feel like we just live together cos we have too 😂 forever cleaning there mess. And how there poo manages to get to places they ain't been I will never know!

You can! It helps if they're socialized when they're little, where you get them definitely plays a part. I had chinchillas for 13 years, always got them from a breeder, and they all genuinely enjoyed human attention. Some were cuddlier than others but they all liked to hang out.

@ashtonraether5215 agree , just saying there not like cats or other social animals that will just chill and sleep next to etc. My 2 are only 6 months old and they jump all over me etc and run around but dnt like to be held etc. Every chin is different tho like all animals no matter how there raised in my opinion its just down to the individual animal.

This bassoon music is amazing!

They look so soft and fluffy. I bet they would make a wonderful coat

Chinchillas have been placed on the forbidden to own list in European countries. These creatures are not pets! They need specialist care, which most people are not able to give them.

counterpoint: these things are super cute and cool and honestly i love them so much,,,,
