Chinchillas are pretty common pets. you can find them in a lot of pet stores and as well you can find them online so it doesn't mean that they're right for everybody and just because you want to have an epic selfie with a chinchilla it doesn't mean you should go out and buy one. typically chinchillas have a very sweet personality to go with that beautiful exterior there. they're just adorable ball of fluff really but it's not to say that all of them are the same. you have to expect that they all have their different personalities so you might get one that's very outgoing and happy to be handled or you might get one that straight-up bites and when a rodent bites it hurts so you have to consider are you willing to put in that time to build that bond to get your chinchilla to trust you. the other consideration is do you have time for two chinchillas, the reason why I say that is because chinchillas are often sold alone. that's kind of condemning them to a life
