I used to know someone who owned Chinchillas. They were a royal pain to keep up with. The diet has to be just right, and they get sick, or have the GIs easily. And when they aren't having GI trouble, they still shit all over the place, as that picture clearly shows.
Plus they are nocturnal, which means they will keep you up at night, unless you keep them on the other side of the house. 'Course then you can't keep up with them, when they chew their way out of the cage.
And they do dig a lot, because they live underground. Diggers are no fun to turn loose in the house.
But they do make great coats, if you have enough of them.
I'll still go with a squirrel if I really must have a rodent as a pet. The tree type of course.
But my Shih-tzu Charlie says he is more than enough for me, anyway. So, I'll have to just stick with him for now.
