Pirate Avatars for newbies

[Chinchillagrl]

That's why all the people I know keep telling me no when I go 'But I want a chinchilla!
  I live in da south.

Visit www.chins-n-quills.com As long as you have A/C and a back-up plan in case of emergency, you should be okay. I've met chinchilla owners and breeders from all over the country.

Well, that and I've got four cats, a dog, a snake and a rat right now *blush*

Chinchillas are SO cute and smart!  I've never seen them for sale here in Texas though.

The do too have some for sale here. I've seen them for sale here before.

Feel free to send me links to where they can be adopted in Texas.  I did a search and came up with nothing.. even on petfinder.com.

The girl who owns the site is a sweetheart. She is from Austin. I bet she could get you headed in the right direction.

Here are a couple from the breeders association. I know that Tamara and Pamela breed gorgeous animals.

I'm glad you like them.

I live in north-east Texas so breeders in Austin and Houston are a tad inaccessible.  I guess I could drive half way (about two hours) and they drive half way but.. meh.  Anyway, thank you for the links. ^^

And yes, Texas is hot and humid but it's that way outside!  We have air conditioning.   :lol:

I saw some in a pet shop years ago. I think I've seen some at Traders Village too. They also had sugar gliders. I want a sugar glider, but I don't really feel like taking care of anything.

I have 5 sugargliders and 5 chinchillas + 3 cats.

Sugargliders are a fantastic pet, but they take up a ton of time. They have a complex diet too. You have to give them fresh fruits and veggies it can get expensive to keep them.

Chinchillas are much easier to care for. You should see them take their dust bath. It's the cutest thing.

I've got ... a rat right now

Yay for other rattie owners!  My daughter has two and it's so much fun to watch them playing and eating and grooming and exploring.  They're such awesome lil' critters!

[lemmiwinks]

Down to 3 rats and 2 cats here. I will probably not get more rats because the 2 to 3 year life span lets me really get to love them just in time to see them  die.

My hamster owns all youse!





Actually, this isn't her but she looks exactly like these hammies.

hamsters = cute mindless eating machines.
rats = cute smart eating machines.
