I ran across an interesting fact about chinchillas that contradicts the norm for most animals... Female chinchillas, on average, weigh more than male chinchillas!
Male chinchillas weigh an average of 400 – 500 grams ( or .9 – 1.1 pounds) while female chinchillas weigh 400 – 600 grams (or .9 – 1.3 pounds). Even though that weight difference is minor, I found it very interesting because most of the time males are the heavier of the two genders.
I'm not sure how much my chinchilla weighs right now, but here's a picture of him being adorable:

up-voted!
Is it true that they can jump really-really high?
can they jump up to 6 feet? It's hard to believe but I thought I will ask

They sure can! Sadly my chinchilla is way too old to jump at all (other than the small hops he does to get around). When they're young, they can jump up to 6 feet AND they do wall-kicks sometimes.
