    Yes they are;) I'm volunteering at my sons school every wednesday this year, and WOW, yes they are.

    Thx, I always make him earn it, and when he wants an animal, I make him read and learn everything about the animal, and give him a "test" before he gets it.

    They are cool, and no I didn't, it is cool feeling

    lol, thx

    Good info, I hadn't read that, but it seems like everything but chinchilla food and hay will kill these things

    lol, I hate admitting it, but the thing is cute. Gonna have to go shoot and regain my man card;)

    Well, I thought we got a new color of chinchilla, but according to a chin forum, she is just the dirtiest chinchilla they've ever seen. Which sounds bad to me considering thats the moderator of the forum and she's seen ALOT of dirty chinchillas:( But she's eating, so thats good;)

    Thanks, the chin is doing awesome, eating well, and is pretty tame and nice. Funny little critter. I'm still not a huge fan, but my son loves it, and it is rather entertaining to watch.
