Question
I want a chinchilla for my birthday but i have two ferrets and i just want to know if ferrets get along with chinchillas??

Answer
I can't give you a definite "Yes" or "no" answer because I've never put the two together, but I would high suggest that it's a very very bad idea unless you have sufficient time to give them separate playtimes in separate rooms.

Just my opinion tho...not from any first hand experience. I'm not even sure which would win the fight, but I'd bet money there would be one heck of a fight between them!  Definitely NOT something I would do.

sincerely,
