chinchillas...

[Rexy]

Anybody keep them at all?

Just after a bit more info on them really.

[Nova_Sean]

I thought this thread was about fat people with lots of chins - disappointed

[Iain]

There's two in a cage behind me, let me know your questions and I'll ask them.

(But in all seriousness, there is actually two behind me)

[Rexy]

Pics...

They easy to take care of, friendly and most of all do they smell at all?

[mowgli]

friendly??? they are in a metal cage!!!!!! think hannibal lector in a fur coat!!! my mate's ex had one & it was evil.... it was armed & dangerous

[Iain]

They're not mine so can't comment on taking care of them, but I think they're let out to run around the kitchen 2-3 times a week. These ones don't seem too friendly but I think they can be friendlier if you get them younger and handle them a lot. Not really that smelly, I sometimes notice a slight smell if I don't come in here for a few days but not an issue at all.

Cage is massive but I wouldn't want to see them in one much smaller as they make full use of the space running around:

she let it out just to bite him......... then she left & left the sodding thing behind, he took it round to where she moved to.

2 of the misses friends have male chinchillas, both suck themselves off regulary, true

Nasty little coonts lol

[mowgli]

the 'sucking off' is that their fur catches in their foreskin & causes great discomfort & maybe infection, and they are trying to clean it.. not much fun when you have fangs, i imagine

you are meant to get the welding gloves on & tend to them on a regular basis........i saw it on a bbc animal show........

that might be why they are so nasty, they just need a good emptylol

[mowgli]

the fur tightens round the cock end & constricts it, apparently.....

[Rexy]

lol, they sound like a lovley pet then pmsl.
Its mrs rexy whos always wanted one, i just think they are cute little buggers.

[Spudly]

They look odd and evil!!


Rats are fecking awesome pets, really clean and very loving, used to keep them when i was younger, only problem is they only live between two and a half and four years:cry:

[Rexy]

awwww poor spud has woken to a few dead rats then :(

[Iain]

Agreed I had a rat when I was younger too and it was great.

[Spudly]

[Lynsey]

[Spudly]

Not in my experiece they didnt, however are yours male?

[Lynsey]

lol ok, ok I think she's gone over all the bad points. Chins aren't much different though care-wise. Although they can live quite a bit longer than that. Parrots are the way forward :thumb:

Oh I wish I could have a finger monkey!

[svlet]

ferrets are definetly a good option

My mate had a chinchilla that was really docile and friendly.. although he kept him in his bedroom with him and my mate was a pothead, so prob explains the laidback nature of his furry friend. :)

[L14MNP]

What are these like in a pie?

Mowgli, does your tramps recipe book have an exotic animals section?

[svlet]

my ferrets dont have the glands used for smell so they dont smell and thier cleaned out every 2 days so they wont smell and they are both never bite and never have they make great pets

is that little monkey thing real and is that as big as they get thats the coolest thing i have ever seen

[mowgli]

nope, just hedgehogs & general roadkill....sorry
