Okay~ I'll introduce myself :)


I'm Rory and I own two chinchillas, their both Hetro Beige (I believe hetro... I know their beige :) just not sure if their homo or hetro...). One is 3 years old (4 in October), Her name is Bento Box or just known as Bento or Mama. the other is 9 Month old Mochi who was birthed here in my room :) Mochi is also known to go by Mo, Momo, Boo, or pain in the neck X3

I came into owning Chinchillas 9 months ago. I brought my first chinchilla home from a breeder in Sacramento on October 3rd. October 6th I was napping and was woken up by a high pitched ... 'squeal' I guess it could be called. I went to check on Bento and saw that she had two tails, she moved out of the way to show a very wet, tiny baby. My Mochi :) I even have a picture of him a few seconds old (Baby Mochi). Right now hes a very hormonal 'teenager' ... hopefully by his first birthday he'll calm down and not try to sex up everyone's hands. haha.

I've been playing with the thought of getting two more chinchillas and hope to buddy them up with my chins (same sex). I'm currently thinking about getting a baby chin from petco (I know, not the best places, but I just really don't want him to go to a family that has young children that'll throttle the poor guy).
