Answer 1

You need to do a lot of research before getting a chinchilla. They take a lot of time, effort, and money. By eat, do you mean pellet food or hay? They'll eat more hay than pellet food, usually. You should consider getting two. Chinchillas are very social creatures. In the wild they live in groups of up to 50. They can get lonely very easily, which can lead to a number of problems. Cost depends on where you get them from. Please consider adopting before going to get one from a pet store. There are so many unwanted chinchillas that need homes. They'll also cost less than buying one from a pet store. Pet stores usually sell them for $150 each.
