So dusty passed away in the hospital early this morning, and feeling of devistation is real
And thank you guys for supporting me and him during this struggle, it means a lot knowing that a lot of people cared about him. May dusty rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Dusty. But what is a chincella?

In addition to being adorable, they feel like a living cloud. This cloud-like softness is because they have an average of 20 hairs per follicle (compared to a human's 2-3 hairs per follicle). Their fur is so thick that fleas would literally suffocate in it, but it also means that chinchillas can never get wet or they would get all moldy (they instead bathe by rolling around in bowls of dust).
