Summer House Guests

A Science teacher I work with needed a sitter for her class pets for the summer.  Since we didn't have any plans for a vacation this year, I offered for Sahara to do it.  The teacher usually keeps them herself, but her father is ill and had to move in with her and they would be occupying the room he took over.


This is ONYX

He is a little people shy and is known to bite.  So far we have gotten nibbles but not a real bite.  But he is much more skid-dish then his brother.


This is CHILI

He is more people friendly.  Although he refused to come out of the cat carrier when we got them home and Onyx came out no problem.

We know nothing about Chinchillas, so this will be interesting.  But their care is pretty simple.  
They are set up in Sahara's room since they need quiet in the daytime and we can close off her door from the other animals.  Plus, they can be as loud as they want (nocturnal) at night because Sahara never sleeps in her room.  Also, the tile floor will make accidents easier to clean up.

With the door shut, Sascha and Malaki have been taking turns guarding it.  I think they think we brought them home for them!
