Chinchilla stuff.

Just a quick recommendation to expand the degu meeting place section to be inclusive of chinchilla owners too. Most of last night I ended up getting frustrated in trying to find an active chinchilla forum (Chinformative seems to be mostly dead). I figure now would be a good time to make this forum a bit more open to chinchilla owners, as it may be the case that folks all over are looking for something active to join, but get put off that the forum is mostly focused on degus. Just speculation really, but it wouldn't hurt.

We did try to have an active chin forum, but we have had no long standing members there, and for a while it was completely inactive. We don't have a moderator that has chin experience either, which is a detriment.

I have to wonder if they're getting less popular as pets. Chinchillas from breeders can be very cost prohibitive, especially alongside the minimum size cage costing around £150. Even just rehoming them from a rescue centre is expensive.
