You can touch them.
You can't get them wet. Or feed/water them, basically. They're like caring for cacti that need a lot of exercise and gnawing. Over do anything (and they have a very low threshold for overdoing) and they get messed up. Chinchilla, the original mogwai.
ETA: I left out warm. you can't let them get warm either or their ears turn bright red and their little fuzzy heads pop like a thermometer from heat stroke. Fragile. So fragile.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
