Do you have a favorite chinnie myth?
Mine is, "If you cut a chin's fur, it will go blind."
Any others?! XD

There are some others i haven't heard either.. and :hilarious:
How about this. If you pick it up by it's tail it will fall off. Okay maybe by the tip tip (actually not sure about the tip cuz i have heard different stories on that part), but lets face it, not by the back end of the butt. :hilarious:

A chin's teeth can break cage bars.
Chins need a "sand bath" immediately after handling otherwise their fur will fall out from too much hand oils. (heard this one at a petstore)

I heard the tail thing too. If you pull on it, or scare them while holding it, it will break off and they'll grow a new one. CRAZY!

Hmm, how about this lil tid bit.
"Oh no, it's fine to house a male and female together. If you put them together when they're still babies, they'll think they're brother and sister and won't breed"
I heard that from a 'so called breeder' in Winston.

I always hear that they are mean, vicious animals. I wonder why people think that?

Back in the old days, those local to the andies thought that chinchilla's didn't drink water.

My recent favorite - "Well since chinchillas are desert animals, you have to keep them warm or they'll go into hibernation." (The guy even argued their large ears prove they are warm-climate animals)
