Chinchillas are good pets if you take care of them and you show them love and care they will you the same. Make sure you ask the place where you buy your pet if your chinchillas have ever been sick and find out as close as you can get how old they are. Sometimes when you have a younger chinchilla they can eat more fruits rather than the older one.  Chinchillas are nocturnal animals so make sure when you feed them they know to associate you with food.
