Ah you just reminded me, this is true because they are native to colder temperatures in mountains. I forget in which region but they do do better in cooler temperatures.

I definatley would not put them with guinea pigs. Please keep your piggys happy and safe with just each other.

Perhaps if they grow up together they would be fine, but I wouldn't want to risk it. I know my sister's chins would not get along with guinea pigs.

I have 3 chinchillas. What the others have said is all right.
They are wonderful pets, but certainly not for everyone.
They are 'shy' animals and often don't like to be held.
They can die from being in temperatures too warm. I have a marble slab that I put in their cage for them to lay on which helps from overheating if the power goes out.
I definitely would not put them with guinea pigs.
They do need dust bathes. I give mine a dust bath a couple times a week.
They are nocturnal and very noisy at night.
They are quite messy. The dust gets everywhere and their fur flies everywhere too. Vacuuming often (daily) is a must. I have a shop vac that works well.

I should have stated that better.

I do not plan on putting him in with the guinea pigs, I was just wondering about if I took my 2 pigging out and the chin out would they be able to interact without there being much porblems.

I know Ferrets arnt a good idea to play with piggies, But I know my GPs would be fine with one because they cuddle with my dog, So if they can handle being herded by a border collie, im sure they can handle amlost anything
within reason of corse.

But I think Im still going to get one, But keep the little guy away from my GPs. if their in the same room, would that matter?? but different cages of corse.
