My Two Chinchillas

My two chinchillas are baby making machines!


These two love birds cant keep there hands off each other. Chi'chi had four babies just the other day, which is a lot at once for a little chinchilla. Chinchilla babies come out with there eyes open and fully fur'ed. They look just like mini-chinchillas from day one and are very independent. Also another interesting thing is that Charlie, the father, is really protective of his children and really takes care of them compared to Chi'chi. She rests most of the day and only comes down to feed. I bet she is already pregnant again.

Just about every 5 months.

Chinchillas are a great pet for an adult.
Children tend to lose interest because chinchillas tend to do there own thing.
