I have shared this before...but this is worth repeating!
My husband, Jim, was working in his workshop welding a piece of metal to fix his recliner. Jim's workshop and my chinchilla room are in the same building. After he finished his welding he went into the other part of the building which is a garage. He heard the chinchillas making loud noises like he had never heard them make before....when he came into the shop there were flames as high as his head on the chair near where he had been welding. He grabbed the chair and threw it outside....turned on the exhaust fans and opened the windows.
My chinchillas saved "their home"!! I told Jim that he better give them extra treats for saving the workshop, their homes and especially him!
CHINCHILLAS RULE!!
