Just wanted to say hello! My name is Kelly and we have recently gotten a new family member, a chinchilla. This is our first chinchilla. We do not have any rescue sites close to here, so we bought one from PetSmart. I would like to think we rescued him anyway, because, I mean, who wants to live in a noisy bright pet store with people going by tapping on the window interupting naptime all day long? Anyway. We went to PetSmart 10 days ago just to get a chinchilla. They had one left and we talked to him for awhile and decided we'd take him home. They didn't have a pet carrier box big enough, so they went to the back and got a regular box and it just so happened it was a Jose Cuervo box. So we thought it only fitting to name our new family member Jose. Anyway, Jose is rather shy. He is finally getting in to our hands on his own. We have not fed him any treats yet. It was funny though, a few days after we got him =, a few of our neighbors came over to meet him. Well, Jose was not happy with that AT ALL. He wouldn't even look at us the rest of the night. But he got over that pretty quick. I have a border collie/husky mix 10 year old female, Chloe. Jose seems to take to her pretty well. At first he seems scared of her, which seems natural. But now he is running all over her and using her tail as a jumping obstacle. It's so funny. Anyway, we are very excited to have Jose in our lives and hope to have him in our lives for a very long time. I wanted to join this forum because I figured it would be a great place for me to learn more about Jose and how to take care of him. Our next big project, building him a bigger forever home. So if y'all have any ideas on that, we're all ears!
