Any one keep chinchillas then?

[davebrum]

Well i know they are not quite as scarce as they used to be - but how many people here keep chinchillas then? anyone actually breed or show them other than myself?

aww thats a shame.

My oldest ones now are 12/13 now
we run a rescue centre for them as well as breeding so if you ever fell like taking on another feel free to get in touch -we always got some needing homes who have been down on there luck

Does anyone have one that's easy to handle and enjoys it??? I've never met one that is calm and I think we have around 13 in college, all normals and a couple that I assume are albino. Cute cute little things...

mine seems ok with it, as long as your not standing near something more interesting to climb on. he does really like to curl up on your lap though.
