Okay I want one and have done weeks of research and still cant decide.
One of the biggest problems is the price!
The Hedgie i can get will be over $400(includes shipping) while the Chinchilla which i can obtain from a petstore would only be about $150.
Of course i heard pet stores are bad to adopt from, for many reasons but those animals also need homes too..
There are no Chillas in my area for me to adopt either
So if i want a Chilla the store is the only option.
I just wanna know what you guys think, im an 18 year old who only goes to school for a few hours so ill have plenty of home time!
1.The baby will be in my room and i know you adjust a hedgies sleeping schedule but would that be the same for the Chilla?(im assuming not since they are Nocturnal)
2.How can Hedgehogs be fun pets? What are some things so i can have fun with it?
3.Neither are obviously easy to take care of, but me having plenty of time do you think either willbe okay with me? I dont do much after school but play videogames..
4.If i do get a Chilla, is it alright for him to play out his cage in my room as long as i watch it, theres no where in the house besides the restroom what could be considered Chilla proof.
5.Which are more lovable? I keep getting mixed reviews. Of course Chillas arent the cuddly type i ahve heard they will sit with you.
My cousin had a hedgie once all he did was sit in the corner he would never unball when picked up
Any other advice and tips would be great! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
And please dont try and discourage me i will take care of this pet
