I already got two rabbits and just adore them. Now I kinda want a chinchilla. Should I get one?

Chinchilla's can be difficult pets and will chew anything and they also have a very delicate digestive system. You have to make sure that you are commited to the pet and that it is not just a passing fancy, these rodents live longer than say a mouse or a rat, they can also make quit abit of noise. But listed below is a website that might be handy, before you get one, do your research!

I don't know if you should because you should know what you want. I can tell you they are a bit messy. They take dust baths and leave little presents everywhere (much like rabbits). On the other hand, they are very rewarding pets;Very cute and cuddley and not the hardest things to take care of. You decide. :)

No, my old roomate had 4. They stink even if cleaned out once a week, they chew on everything (including computer cords when the idiot let them out around the house) and they don't even like people. They are useless, you can't play with them and they don't let you pet them without getting pissed off. He told us they had to have a special diet so we couldn't even give em treats or anything.

I think they are cute and very soft. But the one I met bit me. I do not like them as pets. I had a ferret, not as soft and would jump out of no where and attack your ankles. He was always stalking people in our family and stealing things. He died at the age of 7. I guess to each his own.

you have to be careful with them, just like guinie pigs and rabbits, they do bite when scared, and they will chew ANYTHING. but they're very nice when they're well trained.
find out first if chinchillas will get along with rabbits.
