[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (2 children) Ok, I should have specified. That's on me. What type of rodent/marsupial is Muffin? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Shkshkshk@dice.camp [S] 13 points 10 months ago @AngryCommieKender Muffin is a chinchilla, and she's a bit over a year old now. They are native to South America and used to be made into fur coats. It takes about 300 Muffins to make a fur coat, so the wild population was really taking a nosedive before breeders figured out how to breed them. The biggest roadblock in breeding chinchillas, btw, is that they are such divas that they would rather starve than eat suboptimal pellets and hay, and prospective mothers' standards are even higher. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago I believe it is a Chinchilla permalink fedilink source parent
