Meet Annie (The First of Many to Come)

 

Over two years ago, I decided to try a different pet than I had ever tried before, chinchillas. I found a male being sold for a really good deal and jumped at the opportunity. That resulted in my adoption of my adorable chinchilla, Barry (short for Bartholomew). When I got him home and put him in his cage, he hated coming out, so I didn't get him out as much as I should have. Fast forward a couple months and I had learned that I could trick Barry into coming out with his dust bath. At this point I'd been getting him out a lot. Something that I found I needed to do for a male is check for a hair ring, but when I checked, I didn't find a hair ring. I couldn't even find his boy parts. It turns out that I had a female, not a male. I then changed her name to Annie. This was just the beginning.
