Hi all!
We just got our first chinchilla about a month ago when we heard of a chin owner that was sending theirs to the shelter due to allergies. Since then I've been on a crash course learn-a-thon of chin care. We knew little of chins but I've always wanted one since I am also nocturnal, averse to heat, and of Chilean descent.
His nickname is 'Truthless', and he is a white mutation of some sort. I was hoping to get some opinions on that. Also if there are any other Utah owners out there with supply tips I'd appreciate it.
He is downright spoiling us as he is amazingly tempered for a chin from what I understand. He was jumping on me by week one and since then has begun to play on my shoulders and allow me to remove him from the cage and handle him a bit without complaint. He is also a very behaved chewer and unusually quiet. He will click his teeth on occasion but I have only heard him bark once, almost inaudibly, and quietly squeak once directly into my ear.
I initially thought he was a Wilson White from pictures I've seen, but I recently saw a photo of an odd chin belonging to a mosiac breeder that looked just like him. Utah seems devoid of anything but hobby/accidental breeders so the odds of a mosiac seem a lot more likely. Wish I knew where he came from but we didn't know the owner and they didn't seem to be very informed.
