Dump the fiance, keep the Chinchilla! Just kidding. Sorry to hear about what happened. I'm sure your 'man' will be more sensitive next time.
Dump the fiance, keep the chinchilla ... and I'm not kidding!
Male or female ... both (humans, that is) can be down right stupid at times ... either can be a "terror" for a poor little chinchilla ... List your rules concerning your chin, and if not followed, ask the human to leave.
Sorry, but I'm 100% for chinchillas!
I have my rules concerning my chins posted and worded as if a chinchilla wrote it ... the last rule states:
"If you do not follow the above rules to the letter, Momma Jo will ask you to leave,
with-out one of us to go home with you!"
This is really not plausable for family members, but ... family members can be baned from access to the chins.
Catch the family member off guard or asleep and jump at, yell or frighten them ... then explain, "That's the way you made my little one feel. No fun, is it?" Hopefully they will take this to heart and not scare your little one again ... if not, they don't respect you or other living things very much, do they?
Just my thoughts ....
