What comes with my chinchilla?
Your new fur baby will come with hay, pellets and dust bath to help transition them to their new home. When coming to pick up your chinchilla the new owner will need to provide a carrier. Guidance for this can be requested prior to pick-up.

Why purchase a chinchilla from a breeder rather than the pet store?

Breeders spend thousands of hours ensuring they are breeding for healthy animals with strong genetic backgrounds. The breeder will also breed for good temperament to avoid chinchillas who spray urine and are aggressive and bite. The breeder will also only breed healthy animals to avoid many unwanted health conditions. Chinchillas from breeders will have a pedigree and can be a resource to reach out to when questions arise about your fur baby. 

What is a chinchilla show?

Chinchilla shows are held at different locations usually during winter time. They are a time when breeders come together to find out an unbiased opinion on the strengths of their animals and which animals would be best for breeding to have healthier, better quality babies in the future. It is a time when breeders can meet with each other in person to discuss various topics and help each other. Many breeders are excellent teachers and are more than happy to explain any questions someone may have about having chinchillas as pets. The show will also include some good home made food and donated door prizes to raise money for show expenses and the club hosting the event. If you are interested in attending a show I highly recommend it as a learning opportunity that cannot be gained by reading online. Contact the clubs on the resource page for upcoming shows and information.

What do chinchillas eat?

Chinchillas eat primarily pellets without any "goodies" added to the pellets. Recommended feed is Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Deluxe, Modesto Milling or Purina Show, but this is not an exhaustive list. Chinchillas also need hay available to consistently graze on. Free feed Timothy hay either in the cubes or in the bales are both acceptable options. On a rare occasion chinchillas can have treats, but this should be when they are more than 6 months old. Treat options can be plain cheerios, plain shredded wheat, apple wood, whole oats or rose hips. Up to a couple times a week chinchillas can also have either raisins or goji berries as treats too.
