No, Chinchillas movements are a hopping gait and can jump up to 5 feet.
Do more people like chinchillas or ferrets more? Ferrets are the third most popular pet beside dogs or cats. From another contributor: If you do buy one you'll have to ferret-proof a room (or your whole house) for them to run around in and get exercise every day. I've never owned a chinchilla, but i knew someone who did and she was bored with them. You'll NEVER get bored with a ferret. So maybe somebody out there thinks chinchillas are better and that's okay.
I have four chinchillas (also, one is pregnant) and you should clean their cage once a week. Setting up a certain day for this cleaning helps. Chinchillas are not that dirty and in fact do not have a natural smell like ferrets (ewww) For the trays in a chinchilas cage, the best thing to do is get a tiny broom and dust pan to sweep off the trays with. Don't forget, Love your chinchilla like a baby!
Chinchillas. Ferrets. Gerbils (which i have two of). Capybara (may need permit). Degus.

Chinchillas breed like any other mammals.
Many people like chinchillas for their soft fur, playful personality, and gentle nature, making them popular as pets. However, the exact number of people who like chinchillas is difficult to quantify.
everyone like ferrets
Chinchillas are small animals and do not kill people.
Well, chinchillas move just like any other dogs, really. They ARE a bit smaller than other dogs, so maybe that affects the way they walk?
No. Ferrets are exactly like cats. They hate water.
No. Ferrets have a much longer, thinner body than a rat. They also have fur covering their tails whereas a rat does not.
Chinchillas are very smart, laboratorys have determind them to be more intelligent than rats. They love to investigate new things and sometimes seem to run just for the fun of it. Like any animal they will move if the conditions are not suitable eg, too warm/cold, too many noises.
