i had a chinchilla back in the day, theyre kind of a pain to take care of because you have to give them dust baths and shit to keep them soft, but way easier than upkeep for a monkey
and monkeys have ALWAYS BEEN ILLEGAL IN NYS
pointless thread, pointless to argue about, there is NO WAY for this kid to acquire a monkey anywhere around here. Driving to NYC and buying one illegally with some horrible temperament is going to be this kids only choice.
i tried getting a monkey before i bought my chinchilla. not going to happen.
