Anyone got any?!

Thinking of getting some and wondered whether people had experience of them?

(They're like Chinchilla's!)

I had 2 (nothing to do with Shane )

Very different to chinchillas they are more like chipmunks

fun to watch and very quick

have to watch the weight though as they can put it on easy and its not healthy. mine had too many treats and got fat then one died of a stroke and the other a few days after i reckon of a broken heart (even though they were brothers)

great little pets though

Yeah, have searched google etc.

Gonna be spending £70ish on a nice tall cage for the little fella's. We watched one for 10 mins or so and he was bouncing round all over the place.

Hopefully getting a couple of girls. Can imagine the lads getting aggresive later on

Can't wait now
