Are they Guinea chinchillas?

Cutee.

Can you house train them?

i didn't know today belonged to a two chinchilla

also, my former roommate has a chinchilla. that thing was a jittery little bitch

Quit being so unpredictable, Mathsex!

You can't house train them, but they poo like rabbits so it's easy enough to clean up and it doesn't stink. You can use clump littler for the poo pan too which makes it easy enough to clean up their messes. It's so sad - these two are super friendly babies, they love to be held and they're super curious, but like, they're half shaved. I guess the people who had them before had about 34 chinchillas and didn't give them dust baths (which they need to soak up the extra oils in their fur to stay clean and unmatted) or feed them properly since they were doing and dealing meth. The fur will grow back in about a month. Bob has a mohawk right now though. I gotta find my camera.

Yeah. They have a little bit of fur here and there (the tales are completely bald though poor guys) and it'll grow back. They're super sweet though. They keep eating my hair. I guess I get free hair cuts now...

Like this one,



I want it.

There are videos on youtube of rats that are trained to go in the toilet - it's pretty funny. These guys just poop all over though, but it's the hard little poops so they're easy to clean up. I heard they can fling poop, I'm just happy they haven't done that yet.

A friend of mine has a chinchilla, or at least did three years ago (haven't seen him in a while). They're like ninjas, climbing to places like a mirror attached to his dresser -- we could never even figure out how she climbed up there. The best we could think up is that she pinned her back against the back of the dresser, and walked her way up the wall, all the way to the top.

Conclusion: chinchillas are amazing magical creatures. Also, they can defend your home with their remarkable ninja abilities.
