Just bought a couple of Chinchillas. They both look sort of like this, just not as healthy and round. I named them Shane and Liam.

How do people make money off of these things?? Did I fall for a scam?

Stream their suicide.

They are pretty useless creatures. They just bathe in dust and sit there all day. If the temperature in your room hits 80 degrees for a couple hours then they die. They do make great coats though and they are pretty cute during their short lifespan. Not really sure what the point of them is other than coat making material.

I'm too attached to them for that. They sleep with me and tickle my feet.

Pets are a terrible financial investment, they're essentially children without the possibility of one growing up to be a genius that invents something worth millions.

The only way I can think of to make money from them is to make an Instagram page and YouTube channel of them doing whatever stupid things chinchillas do. They're sort of a unique pet so you have a better chance than some random asshole filming his cat or dog running around but nevertheless the idea that you expect to profit from owning them is retarded.

Chinchilla breeder here.
First off their diet consist of 80% hay and 20% other herbs and seeds, that's how they put on weight and fat.
Get them specialized non-aromated hay you can get at pet shops and mix in some dried herbs/wildflowers (which you can also buy at pet shops).
Their fur is really fine and becoming wet can kill them(fungal infection due to molding) so always keep some bathing sand. Good tip: just sift their bathing sand so it becomes reusable. Only reuse it once.
Also get them chewing sticks. Aromated fruit tree branches like apple is good for them. Just bake it in the oven(or buy it in the shop).
As far as treats go you can hang up some seed sticks (pic related). BUT ABSOLUTELY NO SUGARY SHIT LIKE FRUITS! (Too much sugar kills them but its okay once a week).
Also contrary to popular belief they dont need wood shavings in their exhibit bus get a lot of climbing shit (made of wood)in there so they can jump around.
Also they're not for cuddling they take it badly, although they love scratches.

Dassit man, take care of those furbois.
