We have a new member of the family..Went to get me a couple of Guinea Pigs but fell in Luv with the Chinchilla!!! A man had ordered her & changed his mind so I snagged her up. She's 5 months old...They live between 10-15 years but can live as long as 20+. She's from South America. We bought a starter cage that has 2 levels, but the DH is gonna build her a bigger cage with 6 cuz my gurl luvs to climb!!
She is such a rascle!!! She already knows my smell(like a dog, ya gotta let them smell ya 1st) & luvs to nibble on my finger nails. You can't ever get them wet(must multiply like Gizmo...lol) & NEVER NEVER hurt their feelins cuz they will remember it & never forgive ya. OMG, Me Luvs her!!
I know there are like 100 more things I wanna tell ya about her but can't think of them right now...lol!!
Yup, she def does the "self cleanin'" thing. Least it's not as gross as watchin' Jackey Legs do it Now if she could jes figure out how to help me dust after she gives herself a dust bath.
She might get a lil bigger, but not much.
Boy Toy...Uh NO! When the DH gets the bigger playground fixed, she'll prolly get a "sister", but she's never gonna ever see a penis...My luck, she'll reproduce like rabbits & I won't be able to sell any of them and become attached like I always do!!!!
Wudda been nice if I had been told she was Nocturnal...lol! She played, then cried 1/2 the night. Guess she's not use to it bein' *silent* cuz you know somebody is always makin' sounds at the Pet Store...So I turned the TV to Nick & she had her a George Lopez marathon. Never heard another peep outta her. Thank You George!!!!!!! _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/eplinlover/index.htm
That is jes too freakin' cute! Is that some sort of *special* dust? Looks like the owner had a bottle of it nearby on the bed.
Maybe you and I could work out a deal Wendy cuz if it's dust you need, it's dust I got. Hey maybe my dust bunnies could play with yer chinchilla!! We could set up play dates
BTW ~ How'd you come up with the name?

Yeah, you buy the dust in the pet store...it's real fine & they can't resist it. All I have to do is put out a pan with it in it, & she hops right outta the cage & into the pan for her bath..I have to take it away from her & she'd do it all day...lol!
Yer Dust Bunnies, Mo, Mabel, & Harley Tucker...Dat should be fun!!
The DH came up with the name. Harley Tucker is a character's name in George Strait's movie * Pure Country*...Jes has a good ring to it...Ya know we can never have a normal name & Kicknwing, Jake Mckinnon, LarryMoeCheese, JimmyJack, JackeyLegs, Climber, & LittleWing were already taken..The Kid did push for Kicknass
Today she's decided it's fun to run up my arm & nest in my hair...I'm afraid she's gonna get all tangled up & we'll have to cut her out
Best pet ever...No scent glands so they don't smell...No ammonia in their urine so yer eyes don't water when ya walk into the house. People with allergies can have them cuz they don't effect ya. She only eats 2 tbls of pellets a day plus a handful of Hay. She'll do any ya want for a raisen(but they can only have a few a week). Vacuumin' doesn't phase her at all..In fact, she stands up & watches...It's like she's tryin' to figure out how she can get out & ride dat thang...Plus, she's jes so darn CUTE!!
Can't ya tell, I'm in Luv!! I miss my kitties & havin' somebody in the house with me durin' the day...Harley Tucker's perfect! _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/eplinlover/index.htm

Oooooo I know dat movie cuz the DH is a big GS fan and has it on VHS. Dat's the real purdy chick he ends up with at the end, isn't it? Not the manager who wished she ended up with him (played by the one and only Lesley Ann Warren ~ if ya haven't seen her in Victor/Victoria, ya need to check her out!)
Yer makin' me want one of dem little critters too, Wendy!

For a second there, I thought you might have named her after Harley from Guiding Light, who I heard became a real slut after breaking up with RPG's Gus, which made your "she's never gonna see a penis" comment even funnier. Harley Tucker does have a nice ring to it.
Does she *mess* around the house when you let her out? Hehe...I think the whole sand bath thing is too funny. I can jes see the sand outside da box when she's done.

>>Does she *mess* around the house when you let her out?<<
Jes like a rat, she gnaws on everything!!! In fact, she's in trouble right now 4 tryin' to gnaw the SAT cable into. She's been caged...She's standin' on her hind legs with her hands on the bars like she's lookin' out a jail cell...She's KILLIN' ME!!
Mostly the sand get on the floor after she get thru with her bath. I hafta sweep up lil tiny paw prints. Course they do make it easy to track her. Dat's how I know she was gettin' on the recliner. _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/eplinlover/index.htm
