Meet Manó




Meet Manó, my adorable new chinchilla.

(Manó means... well, a list of things, like imp, elf, elfin, kobold, etc. Technically, I'd say manó is a small, cute woodland creature with an upturned nose and a mischievous character. Sort of like a leprechaun, only beardless.)

Her likes so far are: zooming around in her cage, chewing food, eating everything I feed her, jumping out in my hands and jumping back, climbing up on her cage and snuggling up in the new wooden house I got her.

Anyway, Manó wasn't my pick, she had been named by the owner of her family. I wanted to name her Loki or Ratatoskr, but then again, Manó suits her fine.

She's very curious, enthusiastic and quick. Also fluffy. So far, she's a young baby, so I hope I can train her to sit still on my shouler as Merlin did. She (so far) seems to be intelligent. We shall see if she carries on like this. ^^

Oh and by the way, one of her parents is a standard gray, the other a black velvet, so she is a darker gray with a very slight black stripe down her spine.

Repeat after me: awwwww!
