How freakin' cute are chinchillas?!?! I think they're much cuter as pets than as clothing. I love Patti LaBelle and Madonna, but they looked ridiculous in their chinchilla coats. Even worse is that it takes around 100 chinchillas to make one coat. (I recently tried on a fox fur coat--just to try it on--at the Vintage Expo last weekend and felt like the ridiculous love child of an old Russian socialite and a Neanderthal.) I know chinchillas have the softest fur ever (seriously) but let them enjoy it and get a faux. (I'm not sure I'd say have one as a pet because they are so high maintenance. How ironic.) And this concludes my very PETA-ish message. ;)

Chinchilla's realy arn't that hard to keep as a pet.
Sort of a cross between a pet rabit and a pet cat. They can live quite happly in a rabit sized pen, and eat alfalfa pelets and clover hay very much like rabits. They have to have a dust bath, like a cats litter box, but much finer grit and much much MUCH less stinky.
Letting them out to play in the evenings while you blog or surf the web is all a chinchilla realy wants.... The little fur monsters will use you as a pouncy play toy while you sit still.
Mine has learned what the crinkle of a snack food wraper means and she will do the cutest things trying to get me to give her a cookie crumb or bit of bread crust.
It's a lot harder to find a reputable chinchilla breeder than it is to keep one as a pet. ^^
