Thread: dead chinchilla thats not mine??

uhh, recently my mom's friend and her family went to vacation to asia and we had to take care of their pets. a chinchilla and a bunny. well! the chinchilla died today x.o and were not sure why. it wasnt that hot today, but we suspect that my sister fed it watermelon. could it be that it died from shock or something? cuz it came to my house before. and it stayed in the backyard. and its was stationed in the backyard again. also, chinchillas are expensive and stuff so how should my family tell my mom's friend and her kids about the dead pet?

It died while in your care, you will have to replace the pet. Tell your mom's friend when they get back what happened, and then offer to pay them any amount of money to cover the loss of the chinchilla, and offer to buy them a new one. They will probably be very sad, and probably mad at you.
