Amy
"Amy is cute, soft, and finds trouble wherever she goes!"

Here’s what Kara Gutierrez says about Amy:

"Amy is 3 1/2 years old and a busybody of a chinchilla. She just doesn’t sit still, unless she is sleeping. Amy is a Silver Mosaic, with a beautiful uneven coloring to her coat. She is truly a handful, like having a toddler with ADHD. While out for playtime, she is constantly going from one toy to the next, and she has the uncanny ability to FIND trouble where I least expect it.

I am submitting a few photos of Amy’s cage, which is an adapted Midwest Ferret Nation 142. Amy shares her cage with her room mate Sally, a 3 1/2 year old standard girl. They are the best of friends! I am also submitting a photo of Amy sleeping. She invented a new way to use her hammock, as a “chin” rest!

Chinchillas make wonderful pets! They are bright and inquisitive, affectionate and fun. They do not have a smell, and their fur is the softest fur in the whole world. I have a chinchilla care website if anyone is interested in learning more: www.petchinchillas.info"
