pros and cons of owning a chin

i'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this topic so if its not i apologize. i have been considering getting a chinchilla for a while now and have been doing extensive research about everything chinchilla's need and the best ways to care for them. however in all of this research i have never been able to gain any first hand experience on what the best and worst parts of owning a chin are from someone who actually owns and cares for a chin.



so i was wondering if some wonderful people on here wanted to take pity on me and tell me what they think the best and worst parts of owning a chin are, as well as what the most rewarding part of having a chin is to you?



i am seriously looking into adopting some chins but i want to get some opinions from real chin owners first to make sure that i'm totally prepared before adopting one.
