Hello. My name is Missy. We are currently in the process of getting our first chinchilla....so I have been on here reading like crazy! There is so much to learn and a lot of different opinions. We are getting this chin for our 16 year old daughter. We finally decided on the Ferret Nation #182 last night. Hopefully we will be happy with that. It was a hard decision. It should be here next week, so hopefully we can pick up our new chin baby the next weekend. We are getting a 13 week old gray female. I will probably be on here a lot looking for advise....talk to you soon!
