I used to have a few uncommon animals. I had over fifty-five animals. I'm down to about twelve now though... Anyway, my momst uncommon would be my Tokay at the moment. The second would be my chiwiener(chihuahua and dotson mix), and then my two little minx cat's, and their sister. The two minx cat's have a sister, who has half a tail that's shaped like a quetion mark.

It's adorable!
I don't have a chinchilla but I do have a persian cat they're pretty rare.

Awww. :)

I see Persians all the time over here in California. O: But they are pretty cute. What type/pattern/gender is it?

So cute!

I love chinchillas. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to put one, so I can't buy one as they require some space.

Do you give yours the dust "baths"? I've always thought that was kind of cool.

I used to have some hermit crabs, but that's about as exotic as my pets have ever been. lol
(for anyone who thinks they want hermit crabs: You don't. Don't get them, because it's the biggest waste of money EVER)

twizted child eve 08-24-2008 11:48 PM

I give mine dust baths. ^^ Aww. Hermit crabs look kind of cool. I wouldn't want one though. I don't think.

frickay kitty 08-24-2008 11:53 PM

I love chinchillas, they're so cute, even if they do smell funny.
With my cat, I don't think I could have one, but they're awfully cool.

Edit: Oh man, it's actually really sad that hermit crabs are sold as pets. They're really social creatures that need to live in groups, and they require a lot more work than they're advertised as needing. A lot of them end up dying because pet stores don't give the new pet owner the right information.

I am jealous.
I've never seen or heard of anyone having a chinchilla in Australia, so I guess you can't get them here. But I love animals, especially those of the furry variety! I saw a chinchilla on an American TV show about pet keeping and ever since I've really wanted one. So cute!

I only just recently discovered the existence of chinchillas, but I think they're totally adorable. I really wanted one for a while, but I've never actually met one in person, and I was talking to my sister about them recently, and it seems like they are high-maintenance pets. I like really easy pets, like cats, so I think chinchillas are off my list.

They look like they're just waiting to be genetically engineered into pikachus though. :D

twizted child eve 08-25-2008 05:03 PM

They're not that high maintenance, but they do need a lot of things.

I'd rather have one than a cat, because I can't stand the smell of a litter box.

And they don't smell. If you don't clean their cage for a while, it will smell. But they don't have an odor other than that.

Befu 08-26-2008 09:42 PM

Unless they have mad chin farts! :XD Shadow taunts the other two chinchillas with his farts. >_> Little dork. Then he runs to me when they start chasing him. XP "Save me, Befu! @[email protected] They're being mean to me again D:" "Well duh. You just farted at them. >_>"

Queen Fool 08-27-2008 01:44 AM

Never had one.

Saw some the other day though. Pure adorableness in a small, expensive package.

Befu 08-27-2008 01:45 AM

They're little balls of fluff. <333

marmalade 08-27-2008 03:49 AM

WHOOOA a hubdred bucks?! the chinchillas at the local pet shop where i live are 6$ each LOL
and htey have all their shots too O:

bluezjessi 08-27-2008 05:46 AM

@[email protected] Holy. I couldn't imagine chinchillas going for that little around here. *wonders where you live* XD!!!!

And already having their shots is a very nice thing indeed. X3 Hehe. Immunity = <3

twizted child eve 08-28-2008 01:06 AM

Wow. Only $6? That's cool. I got mine and his cage for $100.

Befu 08-29-2008 06:58 PM

Where do you live, Marmalade? o_____O Cuz that's reeeeeeeeally cheap for pretty much any animal. :XD

We got each of our chins for $110 or $120 then had to buy the cage and everything else separately. XP

sammi724 08-29-2008 07:35 PM

Wow, it's is unbelievably unheard of $6 for a chinchilla. Marmalade, can you get me 2 chinchillas? :D I am going to name one Befuchan! =P

silverkittyempress 08-29-2008 08:46 PM

My bff has a cute chinchilla named Scooter.

twizted child eve 08-30-2008 12:42 AM

Hehe. xD

Adrastia 08-30-2008 03:07 AM

It's one of those things I wanted as a kid. But I had rats instead. <3

It is cute though. And so cheap.

I couldn't get one now though. This darn dog hates everything except for the other dog.

twizted child eve 08-30-2008 01:08 PM

Aww. D:

rockin904 08-31-2008 04:09 AM

Befu, can I have your Chinchillas when you go away in November?

amyrex2 09-03-2008 03:59 PM

I have a cat and a hamster. My hamster is always getting new toys, but my cat doesn't like to play, so I don't buy her lots of stuff. I keep looking at the guinea pigs at pet stores, but doubt I will get one. My apartment is stinky enough with just the one hamster.

Chasm 09-03-2008 09:11 PM

I love those~

The most exotic pet I've had has been an iguana.
Only for two days though. It got lost soon.
(I was just a little kid >>)

I'm pretty sure those are illegal here though.
I've never met anyone with them.
We can't even have ferrets here.

Edit: Nor parrots or monkeys.
