I would like to introduce Bongo the Chinchilla, the latest member to join my (already large) family. Bo is about 5 months old and is extra light beige(would love to get a homozygous black one in the future for a cage mate). He a real sweetie. Just got him Saturday after spending the week setting up a nice house for him. I've always wanted a chinchilla since I was younger(though this goes with most animals I see...) and now we finally have one. So far he's been real good. Its great to watch when he takes a dust bath, pretty funny little creatures they are. As far as the care goes, they aren't too bad at all. I'd say pretty close to caring for a dog, perhaps a bit more demanding in some areas, but not far off.
Anyone else here a chin owner?

And for fun, the rest of the family(excluding inverts and the anole):
