You can also view my post about the best chinchilla food and pellets here. Perhaps, shoot an email to the chinchilla breeder to inquire about which brand of food they are currently using.
First, be careful in the beginning not to get overly touchy and cuddly with your new chinchilla. In the first weeks, chinchillas typically just need time to sit inside their cage and adjust to the environment. You can read my post about how to get your chinchilla to enjoy being held here. Lastly, plan out your playtime with your chinchilla.
Ensure that you are leaving a few minutes each day to get your chinchilla out of the cage to move around and interact with you. This does require chinchilla proofing the room in advance, such as covering all wires. Secondly, they are much more enclosed, which forces your chinchilla to interact with you more, which ultimately builds a bond and friendship faster.
They make for great pets. They are affectionate and entertaining. I wish you the best of luck with your new chinchilla and hope you are able to have a great experience with your chinchilla breeder like I did. Anyone reading having any further recommendations they would like to share to help everyone have a more prepared and smooth adoption process? As always, Chili and I appreciate you stopping by and reading. Thanks again, and we will see you next time.
Hello, I found your page and would like to have myself added to your list. I have a Facebook page and a website.
I have been working with chinchillas for of 15years. If you have questions for further info I would love to speak with you about your list of those listed in Michigan. The are only 3 or 4 reputable chinchilla breeders in Michigan and I am the only actual chinchilla specific rescue.
Thank you, Jacqie Mid-Michigan Chinchillas. A neighbor snitched to manager that we had pets and we were told to get rid of them or we would be evicted. I just want to make sure they have a nice home. We have 2 baby chinchillas available. One is male, and the other is female. Female baby Mosiac chinchilla. Born end of July. Very sweet. Mom is a Mosiac and dad is a standard grey.
Looking for her forever home. I have adult proven males and females. Females have been exposed to males and may be bred. Email for more info. Since the chinchilla is a mutated breed and not a standard grey is the reason for the price. Everything else in I have a 2-year-old male chinchilla that comes with a three tier cage he's a big people person loves kids. Chinchillas will live in colonies of a handful of individuals to a or more individuals in the wild.
They are active at night and take shelter in caves and crevices during the day. They eat vegetation high in fiber which includes grasses and leaves. Insects and eggs will also occasionally be included in their diet. Chinchillas will not take a bath using water. Their coat is too thick that it will not dry completely.
They will take dust baths to keep their fur clean and healthy. Chinchillas do mature at 8 months old. Their gestation period is days and the female will have 2 litters a year. Each litter will have on average young but can be as many as 6.
The kits only weigh about 1 ounce when born and their eyes are open and fully furred when born. The best housing for a chinchilla is a tall wired cage that is at least 24" wide and 24" deep. They do like to climb so include ladders and shelves for your chinchilla to enjoy.
A chinchilla will chew any plastic caging or shelves easily. You can use newspaper , pine or aspen shavings for the bottom of the cage. A litter box can also be placed in the cage for them to use. The cage should be placed in a quiet area of the home that stays cool. A chinchilla can not take heat well and should not be in an area that is over 75 degrees.
Share on email. Please note that we do not know all of these breeders and cannot personally endorse them. There are many types of chinchillas — Getting a chinchilla at a pet store will likely yield you a standard chinchilla — not a bad thing, but definitely not unique.
Breeders, however, are able to breed certain traits into their chinchillas to get some adorable results. Size, colors, and patterns are all traits that many breeders control for and consider.
Breeder chinchillas are well-cared for — Pet store chinchillas are often mistreated due to the nature of the businesses that sell them. Chinchillas from breeders, on the other hand, commonly receive much more care. Not only do breeders have a great passion for chinchillas, but the health of their chinchillas is also directly tied to their income. Identifying A Good Chinchilla Breeder Chinchillas can be susceptible to several diseases and health problems, especially if they come from bad breeders.
