Hey there! I'm new to the forum. My name is Becky. I'm 27 and live in the US in Pennsylvania. I am the happy owner of my first 2 chinchillas: Howard and Vince (Also Known As: Bubs & Nubs). Howard is a 5-ish month old white wilson and is an absolute cuddle bug. Vince is a standard gray who is missing one of his front paws (hence the nickname "nubs" because he has a cute little nub where his paw used to be!)
I purchased both chins from a pet store as that's where I first encountered chinchillas and my little one-armed wonder stole my heart the moment I walked by the window filled with lil chins. I purchased Howard 1 month after Vince because I wanted another chin to keep Vince company on days when I have to work long hours. They are perfect play mates and I love watching them run around together, groom each other and curl up and snuggle together.
I'm glad to be the newest member of this forum and I'm ALWAYS open to advice on how to care for my lil boys!
