Hello everyone.  I am new here to the forum. My family just added a young 1-2 year old female gray chin to our family.  I have done a lot of reading and someday wanted to get a chin, and saw my chance when a local store was selling this gal who has had babies already....they were keeping her in a 20 gallon tank, nothing to climb on, etc. 

I have many different animals and know in general it is not wise to "rescue" animals and that chins from pet stores are not recommended.  However, I knew the potentials of what i was doing, and she really appeared healthy, well socialized, and I kept an eye on her at the store for a month before bringing home.

I have been getting to know her, she lets me scratch under her chin and will eventually come out to play so she can explore a bit, and will sit on my shoulder and hand off and on.  She really is a joy and I am happy to have her.
here is a pic...in my gallery, but is only one so am posting in the thread :)

Welcome to the Forum!  It is always nice to meet newcomers.   What is your girl's name?  What other animals do you have?

Welcome to the club, and the world of chinchillas.
I have been through a host of animals myself in my life time, but chins are now tattooed on my soul.
I just can't see me with out some. ;D
