I'm in a similar situation with my girl too & she wants a Great Dane, so I don't want to hear about your two pound rodent problem. A Great Dane takes a dump bigger than that.

Sigged.

So tell me, what is the life expectancy of these outrageously priced little rats?

 

[Mike151]

That thing is already growing on me. She is very funny. Loves to run and jump all over the place. Suddenly, she stopped scooting around last night and noticed the tv. Sat there and watched it for about 1/2 hour. Very funny. So we figured that since it was nocturnal, we rolled the cage in front of the tv in the living room. I woke up last night and peeked into the living room and there she sat, watching cartoon network. I about laughed my a@# off.
As far as the bass playing bothering it, I was told by the kids that the thing was running around alot when I was playing. Maybe it was just doing the chinchilla dance or maybe it was trying to get the hell away from it. I was in another room.

I trapped a field mouse inside the garage the other day, but I don't think the missus would let me trade it to her for lettin' me buy a new amp.

are you kidding?
you're getting off EASY!

rodent for bass gear

RUN WITH IT!

+1.

When I bought a Sadowsky my wife ended up with a Chanel purse that cost more than the bass! And the bass was a NYC!

I'm jumpin in late here but I agree a rodetn for a rig is a good deal. and if it don't work out.... It would make a nice strap pad. Or buy a bunch and make a whole strap

 

[Mike151]

It's actually a cool pet.
Youtube search for chinchilla tricks, chinchilla bath, etc.
Funny little buggers. My pug seems interested but I can't quite tell if he is just curious or wants a meal.

 

[techall]

I hear they taste like chicken.

 

[Mike151]

chinchilla update.
Wife is tired of cleaning the giant cage. I read this entire thread to her from last year and she decided to keep him. hahah..
Since that time, I have upgraded my cab to a Megoliath (at no wife cost to me).

 

[vagus]

Chinchillas are actually pretty good pets. My wife came with one, and I got rather attached to the little guy. Make sure you get one of those giant hamster ball, hours of fun there.

 

[vbasscustom]

a whole year! so, hows the little guy doin anyway. still like the tv?

 

[unbridled]

The gear will out-live the short-eared rabbit.

i have heard ferrets make amazing pets....

Mustelids RULE!

(who has owned more than a few ferrets)

 

[MichaelPatrick]

Yeah, I've got a similar story.

A few months ago, I told my wife that if we went to the Mile High Festival in Colorado that I would take her to a concert she wanted to see.

Fast forward to now...Two club seat tickets for Britney Spear's Circus tour in town.

Doh!

Housing an aquatic mammal, that's not exactly... you know, (any Lebowski fans?)

ferrets are bad news. to friggin hyper and they bite. plus they smell bad and steal your underoos.

 

[akaTRENT]

I recently purchased a nice SWR rig and told my wife that if she wanted something, I would buy it for her. This was just to keep her from complaining about my costly purchase for self.
Now here is what she wants. A freaking Chinchilla! OMG
Anyone else have stories like that? Suggestions?

I have a chinchilla. message me if you want info. its a great pet. mine acts more like a dog than hamster. these things are in a league of their own.

edit: just realized this is from december haha

Mine does the same. the bass sounds freak him out. only if im playing through my svt turned loud though haha he is really scared of lightning too.
