Too late! Annabelle is yours to keep forever.
LOL, I was wondering if you'd chime in. :hilarious:

I love my FurBlobs.
yeah the best deterrent is definitely the money aspect. I got Furby from a pet store and he got a URI and then decided not to eat for several months so we were spending tons at the vet, like thousands. for x-rays and all sorts of stuff.

Dusty foot prints: too bad you have one:hilarious:
Well update for everyone. I showed her the print out of health emergency along with quotes I called some vets on for each emergency. I also showed her some of my receipts on items I've bought. Then told her about the hair ring check, you should've seen her jaws semi dropped :rofl: but hey I was on the shocked side too hehehe. Went over their overall care and etc. It's decided I'm giving her a feeder fish with the aquarium. I just hope the fish lives through this. Thanks everyone!

Dear Lord, I have the same problem.
My neighbor came over to visit my mom and I had my Mousey out, and her son(3) of course, fell in love with him. WELL, we got into talking about chinchillas, and I told her 'Yea, I'm getting rid of Mousey. I have too many chins, and not enough cages.' And she said 'oh.. well I have a cage at my house.. I could take him off your hands.' (Now note: The cage is hardly 2 feet by 1) And I had a flashback of all of the pets she previously had. I won't go into details, but she let her dog out one day and stood on her deck as her dog ran away from home. WOW.
Anyway... tell her to do the research. Common chinchilla injuries/illnesses. Their diets. The costs of supplies AND vet bills MONTHLY. The time she needs to dedicate(which you already did).. she'll lose interest right away. Chinchillas are cute and fuzzy, but are a LOT of work. ESPECIALLY for someone who travels a lot.
good luck!:wink2:
Sorry, didn't notice the last comment. Well, glad you talked her out of it. I hope for the best with the fish. :hilarious:
