For some reason I read that as, "It was the most adorable thing I had ever eaten".

Then I had to look again.

We once had a Chinchilla named Mog, we'd let him run around in the house at night with just one rule: Never forget to close the toilet lid.

Well that was easier said then done, one night when my brother was taking a nightly wee. He forgot the one rule, and to flush. So when my mother woke up our Chinchilla was under the yellow wee water, with only his nose sticking up over the surface.

So i stayed home from school to have our chinchilla sleeping on my chest under the covers, he smelled like pee, but he was so cute and we actually bonded pretty well that day.

How did you keep the poo under control?

That's why Benjamin stays in his cage except hop-about play time, when he's limited to the tiled basement floor. Ah, well.

While looking at this, Casper (my own chinchilla) is dashing around the entire room. They are like fat squirrels:P.

Their fur is amazingly soft, you hardly feel it under your fingertips :)

They're smelly, and not terribly bright.

So's my Ragdoll cat - and he's almost as soft, too, on top of being fastidious to the point of OCD. ;)

They don;t smell at all! But they do generate a lot of poop.

[–]darchangel 1 point2 points ago

I'll second this. We have 2. They are dumber than a sack of hammers but so cute and soft that you can't bring yourself to care.

Mine is smart, just not that prone to cuddles. He "cleans" his cage by throwing his poo out the bars and onto the floor.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I have one, and I can confirm they are one of the dumber pet animals out there.

[–]sumkulchik 0 points1 point ago

And they always pee in their food bowls to show their distaste with being held in captivity... jerks.

Mine doesn't, but I hear it's a common problem.

Cute pictures! One of them reminded me of the time my chin and I watched the Zags lose a 17 point lead to UCLA in the sweet 16. That was a sad day.

What a sweetheart! Makes me miss my degu. They look very similar to baby chinchillas.

Before you know it, they grow into Raticate. Seriously, who wants to feed that?

This reminds me of the time my chin had babies. They were soooooooo cute! Then their whore-fuck mother ate them. Good times.

Someone wiped one off your chin, and then you ate your babies?

We have 2 and they are the greatest pets I've ever had.

Maybe two baby bottles mated and made a baby, baby bottle.
(Say that ten times fast...) :-)

A few more of those and you could have yourself a nice coat.

I can only imagine how tender it's flesh could be.

[–]directhex 2 points3 points ago

They're pretty wiry underneath the floof, so not very

[–]Waking -1 points0 points ago

You could certainly increase the tenderness with this handy meat tenderizer.
