Which is a better pet Chinchilla or Ferret

One more chin tip. They like to watch tv. Also, if you have an apple tree you can cut small branches for them to chew on. They go through a lot of them.

What do they like to watch? They will have their own tv in their room. lol I had a dog that liked to watch my brothers play street fighter when we were younger. I have a crab apple tree, but I don't think that is good for them. I know my one brother has an apple tree I will have to steal sticks from.

i had three ferrets at one time. They make good playmates for each other and are hilarious in multiples. They also played well with my cat and dog. I still have a cage hanging under the length of my back deck that i would keep them in in good weather. But they spent alot of time with me too. the first one i trained not to bite by tapping its nose, once harder than i meant to and the poor thing never bit me again. I let the last one i got be as rough as she wanted. I had gotten used to it and it was fun rubbing her belly while she clamped onto my wrist.

the first christmas i had them, i was using those beaded ropes as garland on my tree. One day i heard this strange sound rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Went to the living room to see the beaded garland coming off the tree (magically like something from The Grinch) and going around the corner of the coffee table making that clickity rrrrrrrrrr on the leg as it continued under the couch and down the hall and into the spare bedroom where the thief finally stopped with his end of the garland under the bed.

My chins watch PBS. Mostly the nature shows. They sit right on the edge of their cage and stare at it and if someone is blocking their view they move around trying to get a better look.
I don't know about crab apple trees.
Have fun with them. And don't give them too many treats.
