Chinchillas make good pets if You or your family has:
1 a cat, large snake and/or large lizard.
2 enjoy having your fingers bitten into or off.
3 enjoy having a home that smells discusting day and night.
^That is NOT it.
Chinchillas are good for people with allergies.
They do NOT smell but are active at night and need to be played with.
They don't bite only nibble so they can get to know you and only bite when feeling threatened. But chinchillas are delicate and exotic and get sick easily and need to be taken care of ALOT and have to be fed and played with on a daily basis. You should research about them and find out about diseases they can get or the hair ring problem on males so you may have to help your kids on that one. So if you have a vet near by just in case and they treat chinchillas and your kids are very responsible and you will be able to help them if theres a problem then I think its a great idea! Also keep in mind chinchillas are known to sometimes live 20+ years so you would have to keep this animal happy and healthy for its entire life! Also females and sometimes males can get aggressive and sometimes don't like to be picked up or cuddled.
Chinchillas are not mean animals, they are more seclusive. If the child is over 8, I would say that it is okay. If the child is younger and will rough handle the animal, I would not suggest it. They are similar to rabbits.
It depends on the kid. Chinchillas are very fragile, so some children could easily break their ribs by squeezing the chinchilla. Chinchillas also can escape your hold pretty easily, so older children, about 10+, would be able to hold on to it better than younger kids.
