Those who know me are well aware of my pet chinchillas and just how much I love them.
Never heard of a chinchillas? Please meet them, they are cute. :)
Black: Boba (Mommy), White: Shifu (Daddy- thought he was neutered), Grey: Mimi (Spazzy daughter)
We adopted Boba & Shifu about two years ago from Bunnybunch, a no-kill bunny rescue in Montclair, California. About six months afterward I was shocked to see a tiny baby chinchilla one early morning who was shortly named Mimi by my husband. I couldn't believe how quickly Mimi fluffed up after birth! These little furry guys are full of personality, they are all very different! They love plain cheerios and raisins. They LOVE to burrow into your sweater/jackets through your sleeve. They are very playful when you let them out for playtime (They wall-surf and constantly jump over to you/on you)! :) Their lifespan is generally 15-20 years (yay!)
I've learned so much about life from them spanning from sharing to forgiveness, fighting to loving. My chinchillas never cease to put a smile on my face. I find myself saying "awwww" all of the time because of them. I love my little ones.
