Flipping Chinchillas!

Chinchillas can be so ungrateful! ;)

Thistle and Teazel have been happily guzzling milk formula for 4 weeks or so now - I have been using generic evaporated milk in their formula which they have taken with no problem but I decided to add Carnation to my grocery shopping list last weekend - a bit of a treat I thought. What-a-mistake-a-to-make-a. For the first time in several weeks I have returned from work to find some milk remaining in the mouse bottles - clearly they don’t like the Carnation so its back to buying the cheap, generic stuff then. :roll:

Honestly, you buy these chinnies the best and they turn their little furry noses up at it! They do make me laugh - I can spend a fortune on toys for them and they get more excited about a cardboard toilet roll or an old-fashioned dolly peg!

You’ve got to love them.
