Pet Chinchilla?

I have two pet chinchillas. They are exotic pets and are a lot different to take care of than other rodents. They are extremely intelligent and you need to research them a lot before purchasing one. My two males fight so I can't keep them together and I wouldn't suggest a male and female because they could potentially become impregnated and raising baby chinchillas is no easy process. First of all, you'll need to buy dust because they love to take "dust baths". NEVER put water on them. Their fur is so thick that water will go under the top layer of fur and take many days to dry causing fungus to form. Chins live up to 20 years, so you need to make sure you're willing to take care of one for that long. Because a lot of people don't know how to properly care for a chin, they may only last a couple years. The pet stores even sell things that could be potentially harmful to these little guys, such as the dyes that they put in some of their treats. When you buy their food, make sure you give them Mozilla pellets, and Timothy Hay because this is the best combination of food. You don't ever want to change to a different namebrand of food though because it can cause digestive problems with the chins. They are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and are wide awake at night, so you need to make sure they have a quiet place to be during the day. You should also let them out and play with them for about 15 minutes per day, but make sure they don't get overheated because it can happen very easily. In fact, if they are kept in temperatures over 73 degrees, they can die of heatstroke. I mean they ARE from the Andes Mountains where it's a lot cooler. Also, keep them away from any wires or outlets in your house because they will chew them to pieces, I know from experience. I wasn't watching one of mine one time and he chewed into a computer wire. Thankfully I caught him before he could electrocute himself which would have killed him almost instantly. After you get all of this down pat, you should be good to go. They aren't hard to take care of, just different than most other pets. They're a lot more complicated than say a guinea pig or hamster.
