What is cheaper to keep and more fun a ferret or chinchilla?
Okay so, I wanted a chinchilla for about ehhh….2 years. My parents would not let me get one!! I was so upset…anyway i researched them forever to get all the facts. Chinchillas arent very social animals they dont really like to be held either. You have to be extremely careful they have a sensitive stomach and they have very fragile bones. They are also nocturnal. Say your chinchilla jumped down and broke his leg you have to take him to an exotic pet vet. That can be EXTREMELY expensive. Around $500 to $600. I also added up the cost of everything including:Cage,chinchilla,water bottle,food,bedding,dust,dust bath house, and a few little toys and stuff it was around $400. So if u decide to get a chinchilla please do research 1st. they can live as many as 20 or 25 years thats a HUGE comitment!!! I hope i helped!!!!
