Are chinchillas good pets do they bond with their owners?

Answers:
chinchillas are incredibly curious and friendly, they can't resist smelling and jumping on their owners. while they'll never really respond to their name as a dog would, they will respond to certian sounds - i "call" my chinchilla by shaking a box of rasins, so she'll hop over to get a treat.

Since they are rodent-like, they will bond like a rabbit, but not like a dog or cat. Cats only bond in the way that they're getting something. If they are fed by someone else and not by you, they'll simply leave and go where the food is. Dogs are pack animals (as are humans) so they show a similar level of emotion, and they will become devoted to the family. Chinchillas do not have the intelligence of a hunting animal, but could still make a good family pet.

yes they are excellent pets. they can somewhat bond with their owner (kinda like a rabbit does). they do take alot of care, and poop alot, but it doesnt smell. you can also teach them to use a litterbox if you let them roam around. they do need to take "dust baths" though. also, chinchillas can be very expensive. some stores may sell them for around $200, but im sure you can find some around $100. but overall, chinchillas are excellent pets

yes chinchillas are lovely pets that bond with their owners, but you have to gain its trust, and this can take up to a couple of months. They need peace and quiet to sleep, so dont always try to handel one if it hasnt gained your trust. So yes. thats my answer.
