They are sweet, but like most rodents if they don't like the company they will go on terminator mode.

I didn't know you could have chinchillas as a pet (or even know they existed) until grade 9, when a classmate showed me a video of hers taking a dust bath.

Same hereI I had a coworker who loved chinchillas and would tell me all these cool facts about them. I've had mine for about 8 years. She is a standard coloured chinchilla. She likes to just hang out sometimes sitting like a Totoro lol. Other times she's like a furry sleepy gargoyle keeping watch over me LOL.

They are truly unique pets. Their huge personalities and incredible agility are captivating to watch. The way they meticulously hold a treat with their tiny hands is just adorable.
