I got a chinchilla!!
His name was ChiChi, but now its Gizmo. (ChiChi's still his middle name)
Hes sooo cute - but hes a fluffy ball of destruction.
I took him out for playtime today, and he proceeded to chew the walls, break the trash can, get wet (chinchillas are not supposed to get wet, it gives them something like ringworm), chew my computer keys, chew the cabinet, and try to jump from the toilet seat to the TOILET PAPER HOLDER. It of course rolled, and fell and scared me because I thought he broke his leg.
He is something else.
But he is so friendly and cute, and comes right up to the cage door and begs to play.
And he loves raisins.
And he eats like a person, he holds the food in one paw and eats it.
I've only had him a day but I love him already. : )
