thank you so much for the advise! i am very close to buying a baby, 6 week old beige chinchilla that i am looking foward to naming chilli! i want to cuddle with him so much but other websites advised me to not cuddle, he will come to me if he wants to. I was also wondering if it would be better to get a chinnie at a young age so it respects me more? i love the saphirre looks but i am going to settle for a baby beige for only $90.

What makes the black velvet chinchillas so lethal? WHT ARE THEY MORE DANGEROUS OR HARMFUL? I have an original chinchilla. His about five to six months old. I got him from Scalley Daves pet store in Manhattan. I paid 130.00 dollars for him alone. His name is Ziggy. I learn something new about him every day. He gets a dust bath every other day. He loves baby carrots. I slice them for him. I let him out every day to play in his excersise ball and he has a blast. I have not chin proofed my house yet. He still has to get used to my husbands cat. That seems to be going okay with him. The cat plays with him in the ball and she chases him all over the house. Its funny to watch them play.

Thank you for such a wonderful site. I have an Ebony named Darla she is a joy to have around and loves playing with my little dogs. that would be one concern with her.... she loves the dogs so treating and care is a bit harder so she nor my dogs don't catch anything strange
does anyone know if there is anything a Chin is allergic to ?
Mine does eat her vid.C everyday. My sister says they only eat it if they need it but she does eat hers everyday.

Allergic?? or bad reactions??? to what???

I've been considering getting my chinchilla a mate. She's a beautiful white ebony and I was wondering what traits and colors to look for in a male. Thanks :]
