P01334 - Jerry the Chinchilla - Jerry the Chinchilla

Biting the hand that feeds him.  I did get treated as a "chew toy" on occasion which was probably at least partially down to the fact that he never had any female company.  An attempt was made early on to get a female chinchilla as a mate for him, but without success, and circumstances forced this plan to be eventually abandoned (part of the problem with this was that chinchillas aren't prolific breeders and the females tend to be held onto by chinchilla breeders).   

In some respects, though, having two chinchillas would probably have been a lot more difficult to handle, especially on those occasions when I went on holiday.
