Trying to surprise my mother for Christmas…very last-minute decision. Most kittens I’ve found have been between 0 and 0, since Himalayans are very high-quality cats.

I live in Oceanport, NJ…any ideas?

What type of food do chinchillas need? I’m looking for a high quality chinchilla food but I’m not sure what their requirements are as far as the source of protein (meat or vegetable/fruit based), and the amounts of protein, fat, fiber, and carbohydrates. The only food that seems to be recommended on the web is Mazuri, but it is made by Purina so if it is anything like their dog or cat food it isn’t going to be too healthy. Thanks!

What type of toys do chinchillas like to play with? I know cardboard tubes are popular, but what else? Pet stores have a lot to choose from, and I don’t want to waste money on something the chinchilla wouldn’t like. Also, what is a high quality brand of food and hay cubes? Treats too. And bath dust. I’ve never had a chinchilla before, so tell mem anything you can about them!
