I just had to share, look how cute!

Five of my girls all piled on top of each other. They're so smushed you can't even see two of them!

A middle of the night cuddle. Notice the squinty "I've been watching you all along and I was fully expecting this!" eyes :rolleyes:

And finally my new babies. *coos* Another two little standard herd improvement beauties.

Hope somebody else enjoys these as much as I did!

Chinchillas - never seen them before. They look cute but I am puzzled as to why they seem to be in such cramped accomodation?

Id love some - but I am sure my dobermans would think different.

They have the most dense fur of any land animal - 50 hairs per folicle :eek:

Must be a cure for baldness there somewhere.

Cramped my arse! :eek:

Their cages take up almost an entire wall! They just like to all huddle up together in one little space. Spend a fortune on every conceivable luxury for them and they still spend 90% of their time on a boring old wooden shelf tucked up in the tiniest corner of the cage :rolleyes:

And yes, their fur is so dense that it is next to impossible for them to carry parasites such as fleas and ticks, which makes them about as close to hypoallergic as any animal is going to be.
