and to ladyserpent7 chinchillas are great pets first point to them is that they are hypoalergenic so no alergies to them they can be a bit of maintnence because they do not take baths like normal pets they require a special dust that they roll in that helps them maintain their wonderfully soft coat.. if you get them at a young age and keep them well handled they are great pets to play with as far as their sleep wake habbits mine sleep off and on throughout the day and night so they are very versitile as to when you can play with them ... which you can do they dont have claws like other rodents they are very small and dont require clipping if you want further information on them i'll be happy to ablige. from experience on rose hairs they are the most doscile of tarantulas good for first timers, they are very tolerant to owners mistakes and are easy to care for ... i have 7 i think *isnt gonna run around the house to count them* they are the least aggressive tarantula i have ever delt with and are very common as pets the care for them is simple, for slings i feed them every two days either pinhead crickets or young lobster roaches... for my older rose hairs i have what is called two cricket tuesdays my older rosehairs get two large crickets every tuesday. hope this helps you

Welcome. NICE collection! I can't wait until I can get more, at the moment I only have ball pythons, rats and mice, I can't get anything else until I move into a place that allows pets LOL.

*whispers* dont tell my land lord! im not even supposed to have a dog.... which i do have a 100lb black german shepard *snickers* and cats that i have to count every time one of my larger snakes get loose *notes that that is always fun* the three cats hate it though.
