How old were you when you got your first chin?

I was 34, and 40 now. I bought 2 boys for my kids, Super Sonic, and Hyper Drive, and have been smitten with them ever since!

I´m 23 and just got my guys a little over a month ago.

It´s hard to imagone my daily routine without them since they gobble up a fair bit of my day in caring and thinking about them, I have had many animals since childhood but chins have been some of the most rewarding so far.

I had my first chins at about 13, but my parents rehomed them because I was not a responsible child :/. I got my current boys at 27

I was 35. I wish I started with the cuties in my teens when I had other rodents.

 

[Minccino]

I was 24. )
Eli is my first chinny! It's crazy (but awesome) to imagine that I could still have him at, like, 45! lol

 

[riotheoleo]

Apollo was a present for my 13th birthday however we got him a few weeks before, so I was 12.

 

[Amethyst]

My first chin Eve was a present for Christmas for me and my sisters when I was 11. My little sister was only 5 at the time. We had had pets including rodents since I was 2 though, (mice, rats, hamsters, crayfish, gerbils, guinea pigs, fish, cats, birds, frogs, bugs) so caring for a chin wasn't a new pet owner situation, just a new kind of rodent pet.

My first chin was my 18th birthday present.
