Well Ive been lurking around here for about a week or so now, I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Jessica, but everyone calls me Jezi. I have one chinchilla named Chichi who I aquired when I sent my ex to jail (long story, different day.) When I found out from his mother that I could keep him, I was ecstatic. My ex had no idea how to treat a chin, and was somewhat abusive to him. I knew it was going to be hard work, but for him to have a good life, I was willing to do anything.
After almost a year of research and patiently working with Chichi to correct the damage that was done and earn his trust in me, he is finally coming around. He greets me in the morning and afternoon when I get home from work, comes up to give me nibbles when Im sitting with my hand resting in his cage, and actually climbs the bars for me to rub his belly. We even had our first playtime outside the cage the other night! (In a clean bathroom with lots of toys while I sat on the floor of course.)
I want to thank all of you so much for the info and support that each of you have given freely here. It has helped me so much! I am proud to be a growing part of this team!
