Another popular choice is the chinchilla. Chinchillas resemble large mice and come from the Andes Mountains in South America. Chinchillas in general are scared of people. That fact, along with their brittle bones, makes them better pets for households with older children. Chinchillas can be very loving once their trust is earned. Chinchillas come in a variety of colors from gray to black. They are very vocal, especially at night when they play. Chinchillas often chirp when they are happy and bark when they are scared. If cared for properly, they can live up to 20 years. ANSWER KEYS: A: They are always spinning. A: To get to the Shell station! Some answers: bet, debt, fret, jet, let, met, net, set, threat, vet
