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 ...

Guinea pigs are lovely little common pets, mostly in America, but in other countries, too. So, let's learn, what are guinea pigs? Where did they come from? And how are we going to give them the best possible care? they came from the grasslands and plains of the Altiplano region in SouthAmerica. The most popular theory is that these guys originated from the Peruvian cavy. These small animals were referred to by Incan people as Cuy, which is still used today. But they weren't what we see today. They were smaller, thinner animals with more neutrally colored fur so they could blend in with their environment. Guinea pigs are pretty terrible climbers, so just a small wall is needed. they're mostly sold, kept, and rescued to be solely companions for humans. They have been bred in captivity for some 7,000 years. And since humans are naturally curious, they started experimenting with their coat texture and their color. Today we have three main types of fur: silkie, short-haire...
