We always have this idea of getting a leash/harness for Cotton. It'll be nice to have her around when Daddy and Mummy go for a walk around the estate (at night or when the weather is cooling, of course). However we are concerned if such an idea will be too much for her.
She is jittery to begin with. A slight movement or sound will send her jumping all over her cage. *cough* Coward. If we put her on leash/harness, you will most likely see 2 grown adults desperately trying to catch hold of a wild and aggressively jumpy Cotton. So embarrassing.
Besides, chinchilla releases chunk of its fur as a defence mechanism when caught in a stressed situation. We won't want a balding chinchilla, that's for sure. It'll be too weird.
Their bones and bodies are relatively soft. The leash/harness may cause injuries. What if she breaks her neck?
So should we or should we not?

hmm how fast can your cottonball run?
sounds like a crazy tot to put it on a lease :P
It is a crazy tot to begin with.
Cotton can run REALLY REALLY fast. Always escaping from her cage and we have to chase after her. Wild animal on the loose. It's a very tiring "exercise".
better get a net as well. you never know.
