Look what I just found on MSN!

I am a little offended they called them "chinchilla rats" though

Ugh my bad, I looked in chat and general threads but I think journal articles when i think articles I was just so surprised to see this on the MSN front page as a "must see" LOL

Changes in chinchilla pellet size correlate well with changes in precipitation levels, the team has found, presumably because more rain meant more plants, which in turn meant the animals could grow larger, making bigger pellets, and vice versa,

See, all you guys were worried when your chin produced tiny poo and celebrate when they got nice big poo. Just think of all the wasted vet money when all the chin needed was for it to rain. And YES I am kidding
