Chinchilla Facts



So for those of you out there who are wondering what to think of having a chinchilla as a pet, let me update you on He-man. Here's some facts that I've learned over the past month and a half.

1) When you push He-man's ears down he looks down right evil.

2) Chinchillas love rolling around in their dust bath. It makes them go crazy for no apparent reason.

3) If you own a chinchilla own a dust buster because chinchilla poop is small, odorless are hard but they can poop in bulk at will. They save if for just after you clean out their cage.

4) It's funny to watch He-man in his giant plastic ball roaming the house.


5) When you let a chinchilla roam around the house in the plastic ball he poops, but when he roams free he doesn't poop at all.

6) If you click at He-man he wakes up and plasters his body against the cage to beg for
Cheeri-O's.

7) If I put He-man back in his cage before he's ready, be gets grumpy and shakes the cage door and gives me "a look."

8) I'm not sure if He-man has ever peed....ever.

9) He-man has two speeds....run,duck, and cover and duh!? (where he just stops and stares)
10) When concocting a scheme He-man paws his whiskers ever so mischievously.

11) Chinchillas really don't like being in the plastic ball.

12) He-man doesn't like chinchilla food. Cheeri-O's reign supreme.

13) Our chair is He-man's favorite hang out.

14) You can tell chinchillas are related to yellow bellied marmots because they both love
Cheez-Its.
