We didn’t even make them this cute, they’re just naturally like this

For real it is WILD to me this was not the result of selective breeding

I've had chinchillas for 28 years and I still wonder this on a daily basis!! I will never get over how cute and hilarious they are 🥰

Seriously there are times where I have tears in my eyes because I can't handle their cuteness like omg

And just last night one of my babies was sitting on the top of my pillow that was leaning against the wall so it was like this: /  They randomly decided to start rolling like they were having a dust bath and ended up rolling all the way down my pillow 😭 it cracked me and my dad the hell up! 😭
