If you are quilting for a labor of love that is one thing. If you want to make money see what you do as a business. What seems to be missing with the quilters are business skills. I have looked at businesses such as, The Quilt Cafe, price range for quilts $125-$703.
Chinchillas do not need extravagant plants, treats, whatever added to their diet. The more simple the diet, the better. Pellets, hay, and fresh water is all they need. Wheat grass is the only type of live plant I would give my chin.
If you have a chinchilla as a pet, you may notice that it's most active at dawn and dusk. At other times of the day when you're active, it may prefer to rest. Chinchillas in the wild eat plants, fruits, insects and seeds. Domestic chinchillas, though, mainly prefer a diet of hay.
