They are mostly timid but friendly when they get used to you. They can also be really vocal sometimes.
If you get one make sure you do not bath her in water. Give them a dust bath instead. |

I was looking at a site where they WERE bathing their chinchilla. Are they like gremlins where they turn mean if combined with water?
What is a dust bath, like what people use in the hospital when they can't wash their hair? It's a spray can thing. Anyway, if I ever do have some extra cash I might consider getting one. They're really cute. Thanks for sharing your pics and giving me the idea!

I was told by the original owners that they hate water more then cats. You can buy chinchilla bathing dust at a pet store. What I do is put the dust in a cooking dish for them three times a week.

I looked around a bit, and now I'm thinking the pic I saw was someone bathing a chinchilla but in the bath dust. They make all kinds of little compartments you can put your chinchilla in with bath dust, and it looks like they love it and play in it like a duck would in the water!

Chinchillas hate water because it can KILL them.
Their fur is so thick and fluffy that if they get wet, the water cant get out of their fur and they can easily freeze to death.
