neither, chinchilas are way to skiddish and ferrets smell like crap no matter how many times you give them a bath.
Your only sopossed to give a ferret a bath around every three months. Because if you give a ferret a bath every month then your doing nothing but drying the ferrets skin out, ferrets have sent pores so about 5 hours after a bath they smell no diffrent than before. They have some produces out there that you put in their water and/or food to help the smell go down a little. plus theres an item called ferret daily spritz that helps keep it down as well.
 
I have a chinchilla. She always want s attention, but you can't play with her like you can with a ferret. The dust baths are fun to watch!!! It all really depends if you want a cuddly pet or something that's a little more rambunctious. My chinchilla is pretty sneaky too and squeazes into tiny spots.
 
I had an older ferret that I adopted and she was great. I honestly am hesitant to get another, because I would always compare it to my old ferret who I loved. A ferret to me is more like a "pet"...my ferret was more like a kitten than a rodent pet like a chinchilla. Chillas are very cute though.

And I actually like the way ferrets smell :banhim: Not a ferret with a dirty soiled cage because that stinks...but a ferret kept cleanly where you smell just ferret scent rather than scent mixed with urine etc.

This is going to sound weird, but I agree with you, I love the way ferrets smell too. I show him off, and everyone goes aw! he smells. Then I go no he doesn't, and then I stick my nose in his fur and take a big wif :screwy: :D But a filfy ferret is just gag! :yuck:
 
I'm all for chinchilla silver persians. They are extremely interactive with you, being cats, they have catlike behavior, they have soft fluffy, beautiful coats that don't smell--the best traits of the chinchilla and the ferret.:)

Here are my reasons for recommending a chinchilla silver persian:


You can take them hiking

or take them to play in the snow

They like to fish

They can go boarding

I also forgot to mention, my chinchilla smells, mainly because she gets really nippy when we take her out to clean her cage. Her atention span is virtually non-existant too. Not the brightest animals in the world.
