Once upon a time there was a young lady who received a baby chinchilla as a birthday gift from a friend where the two coeds attended college together. The young lady's birthday happened to be on Cinco de Mayo (May 5) so she named her new pet Nacho. Seemed fitting.
Fast forward several years...The young lady graduated from college, got a "grownup" job, and expanded her pet family by adopting a second chinchilla from a rescue group. The second one she named Jalapeño. Nacho and Jalapeño. The young lady had to transport the pair of chinchillas in her car when she visited from Texas because they had to be in a climate not exceeding 78°F. If there was a summertime electric outage while she was away, the chinchillas would not survive the heat.
The young lady in the story and the owner of the furry chinchillas is my daughter.
Chinchillas can live to be 15-years-old so if you are thinking about having one as a pet, plan ahead and adopt from a rescue group as there are many in need of forever homes. #adoptdontshop
