    Ooh, I didn’t realize that’s what chinchillas look like! I was going to guess a quokka, which it turns out is only similar in terms of also being a relatively small furry creature with a fun name 😅

      He is from a much different part of the world. These little fellas originate from the Andes Mountains and this is the long-tail variety. His personality is wild! He is extremely expressive, quite smart and loves to play peek-a-boo.

      Chinchillas are farmed for fur, unfortunately. 😢
