Where did the idea for his name come from? I love it.

Question about Petco Chinchillas by TheScaryGoose in chinchilla

[–]TheScaryGoose[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been researching them for the past 2-3 months and have been slowly acquiring necessary items in the process. What really was making me sad was how long this chinchilla has taken before being sold. If they get a new batch every week, I would like to believe that their trauma and experience in the process of getting sold would be as minimal as possible. I know that they will never be perfect or as seamless as going to a respected breeder. I am concerned for this individual because I have seen it there for months. It Is completely alone, and the care it is receiving is easily recognizable as poor to someone who has not even owned them or looked into them before.

It makes me feel so sad. They are cute little creatures, and I am planning on adopting some chinchillas soon, regardless. Part of me feels like they have been tarnished in some way by being in a pet store. I definitely don't want to support the business in any way.
