I know they are sold often. Around where I live anyways. I never know people to have them though. Ever. I do not understand why... D:

They sell chinchillas around here at Petsmart.
Some don't though. PetCo sells ferrets, rabbits (sometimes), guinea pigs, fish, and birds. They seem to rotate between rabbits and ferrets. I get my banana chips from petco since petsmart doesn't usually have them.

I bought my chinchilla and his cage from someone selling him in the paper.

I used to browse chinchilla sites quite often last year when they were new to us, but now I rarely go to them because I just buy their supplies at petco. But I think I'll start buying from ChinWorld now that they've updated their selection. :XD *checks the other sites* Do any of the links listed include the wooden ledges we could buy? The large ones. XD

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:05 PM

I'm not sure. I don't think they do, but I've seen some. I can't remember what site has them. I should have bookmarked it...

I just found this one from google: http://www.freewebs.com/simplychintastic/

Oh, cool. They sell all those pets around here. Mostly in bigger towns. I live in a pea sized town so we don't have a pet store. People sell chinchillas in our paper too. Very rare but I see them. What is it like to have a chinchilla?

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:12 PM

Oh. I see.

They're not too hard to take care of. But they do need a few things. Here is a list of things they need: http://resources.azchins.com/Supplylist.htm

They are nocturnal. So they're not really active during the day. Mine is active to eat around 5pm and I take him out to play around 7:30 or 8pm.

This is a good site too: http://www.chin-chillas.com/chinchilla_care.htm

Befu 07-14-2008 09:12 PM

Awww~ Those are cute. I'm always worried about getting fabric-related stuff, though. They used to have a hammock and, again, all they'd do is pee in it. :XD I bet those beds would be fine, though. Hopefully they don't treat them as those mats we sometimes get them. Again, pee spots. XP

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:13 PM

I know. I don't think I would trust a fabric with mine. xD

Mine likes to pee on the hay mats too. xDD

Befu 07-14-2008 09:21 PM

I wish petco and petsmart carried more wooden toys and huts that were meant for chins. They have more plastics than anything. ._.

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:22 PM

Yeah. I know. D; They do have some good things there though. I got a honey log thing from there and the chube.

Befu 07-14-2008 09:26 PM

We bought the log a while back. They seemed interested in it for about a week. Then they'd leave it on the bottom and.. pee on it. :XD
When they were new, though, my mom bought a nice little wooden hut with a hay ceiling for them. They've since eaten the hay and they're still going strong on chewing the wooden house to bits. :) I have a feeling it'll last them for a while.

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:29 PM

Mine likes to hide in the log.

Aww. xD

Oh, I see. I'm thinking of getting a wood house from one of the websites for my chinchilla for Christmas. ^_^

I might get him another leapin' ledge too.

Befu 07-14-2008 09:37 PM

Before I leave for a year and a half (I'M GONNA MISS MY BABIES T_______T) I think we'll probably make the cage have all-wooden shelves and hopefully they'll have a saucer in there, too. Lots of leapin' ledges as well. :D

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 09:40 PM

Oh? Where are you going?
Yeah. That would be a good idea. ^^ They'd love the wood.

Befu 07-14-2008 09:46 PM

I'm going on a mission to Spain starting November 5th. Which means kt, my twin sister (Angel Naomi) will be left to take care of the babies. And she's the lazy one. >_>;

Oh. I see. I hope you have a good time.

Aww. I hope they will be okay. ^^

I posted in your Charpia thread. ^^ I want one of them. They're cute. :)

Befu 07-14-2008 10:30 PM

Thank you~
And I'm sure they'll be fine. She BETTER love them as much as I do, lol. >_> :XD
And thank you :D You're lucky~ These welcome charpia are about to discontinue~ There will be another set of 10 after the last one is sold. I was going to just dump them this week and 'set the last two free', but since you bought one, I only have to sell one more. :'D

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 10:34 PM

Yeah. xD

No problem. :) Oh, I see. Cool.

Befu 07-14-2008 11:00 PM

And I just finished the next design. :ninja: So someone else better hurry and buy the last one. MWAHAHAhahahaha...ha.. *coughhackwheeze*

twizted child eve 07-14-2008 11:02 PM

Yes. xD They should. xD

I love Chinchilla's. They're so soft and lovable! I remember a friend of the family had one when I was little. I wanted one since. X3

Aw. I used to have a hamster. Umm don't ask what happened to it, I was kicked out before I could really "depart" with her.

Befu 07-15-2008 08:39 AM

We used to have hamsters when we were 9. My sister's hamster pretty much ate the eye of my hamster, we returned my mom's hamster and my sister's hamster, and my hamster eventually died. Probably due to infection.

I don't know if I'm still over that death. :(

twizted child eve 07-15-2008 01:26 PM

Aww. That's awful. D; I'm sorry. :(

I never had a hamster or any small animals when I was growing up, but I always wanted a hamster. I had dogs and fish.
I love dogs. Fish... not so much. XD

I'm glad I have my chinchilla. :)

Befu 07-15-2008 06:09 PM

Yush. Chinchillas are the best pets. EVAR. :squee: Period. End of story. Goodnight folks.

:XD
