i dont know what to get a chinchilla or a ferret witch is better ?

Question

chinhilla or ferret witch one ?

Answer 1

Depends where you live and what sort of personality/behavior you're looking for in a pet. In California, it is illegal to possess a ferret, but legal to have a chinchilla. I don't know about other states, though I do know it's legal to possess a ferret in Colorado.

Chinchillas are happiest in tight corners of a cage. They're shy, solitary animals. They get frightened easily by large open spaces and too much human handling. But they are the softest creatures you could ever lay your hands on.

Ferrets, on the other hand, love to roam. They're like the toddlers of the animal kingdom. They get into everything and seem to be pretty social. And if you have dirty, stinky feet, they'll be devoted to you for the rest of their natural lives. Nothing makes a ferret happier than a rolled up pair of sweaty socks to play with.

Answer 2

In my opinion I would say that Chinchillas are better. Before I got my Chinchilla named Chinchi, I was looking at getting a ferret or a Chinchilla. Here are some of the pros and cons of each animal. Chinchillas Pros Soft Very nice Fun to watch adorable Caged No smell Low Maintenance Don't normally make much noise Cons expensive some can be mean poop everywhere dust bath can make you sneeze or get sick Always chewing Hay allergies may never bond with you may be attacked by other pets(cats, dogs and even ferrets) not as easy to get information about Ferrets Pros Cute Funny Will bond with you Can be caged More well know than Chinchillas Cons STINK May Bite May hurt other small animals(Chinchillas,Guinea Pigs) Mischievous Have to get shots may be able to escape

Answer 4

Chinchilla! Ferrets reak!

Answer 5

Ferrets are not as shy and they don't smell as bad as chinchilla! Go with the ferret!

Answer 6

although both animals are fun, the two animals have pros and cons.

ferrets often don't use their litter box and they require hours of attention every day. If you do not bathe them at regular intervals they will smell very bad, as they have scent glands.

chinchillas can be let out of their cage, but because they are rodents they will poop uncontrollably as they run. The feces does not smell or make a mess, but it can be a nuisance. also, if you have cats, they may not get along with the chinchilla.

with either animal, it's good to have 2 of them because they will get lonely. chinchillas especially are prone to lonliness, and they can die from depression.

one excellent thing about chinchillas is they do not need to be bathed in water, as they bathe in dust. also, they do not produce dander, so you're garunteed not to be allergic. they also don't require as much attention to be happy.

Answer 7

We have a ferret and they are great pets. Do NOT go to a pet store to get one though. The best place is to check out Petfinder.com and go to their classifieds.
This is a terrific video with footage of ferret rescues. Be sure you have your speaker on and be ready--------

Answer 8

Chinchilla...I love how they bathe in dust.
Ferrets, for some reason, remind me of furry snakes with legs.
No offense to ferrett owners.

Answer 9

Does the ferret witch wear a little pointy black hat and ride a broom? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Answer 10

Oooh Chinchilla's are sooooo cute & they're MUCH more clean & smell better too.They're not as mischievious as ferrets are either. I would love to get one myself if I could, so I defintely think you should!
