THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CHINCHILLA CARE

Few of us view the chinchilla as a small cuddly loveable pet.  So if your children are clamoring for one as a pet, this may surprise you.  But do me a favor -- and more than that do them a favor -- don't dismiss that desire out of hand.  Give it some thought!

 You may just decide that your household would be the perfect home for one of these cute guys.  And believe me, having several of them myself, they are not only adorable, but they truly do make loving pets.

 Go ahead.  Take your children and check out these loveable pets.  You may be surprised at how cute these guys are!  And you may even agree to get one as a pet!

 And that's what this book is all about really: to help you get to know exactly what makes a chinchilla tick and what he needs before you commit yourself to adopting one.

 After all, chinchillas live as long as 20 years.  If you decide you're adopting a baby, you have in effect a 20-year-member of your family.  Heck, some marriages don't last that long!
