This stops the chinchilla from going anywhere it wants, and protects the walls and trim of your home . This may not sound as serious an issue as chewing wires, but it can be. Chinchillas will chew carpet, too, if they’re let loose in a carpeted room. This isn’t a certainty like chewing wires, but it’s common enough to be a problem.
This allows the new guardian to prepare for the chinchilla's arrival. Appropriate housing, bedding, food and supplies are expected to be set up in an appropriate cage and ready for the chinchilla to move into upon final adoption. We will not adopt a chinchilla to any home if an appropriate, safe and clean cage is not available and setup at the time of adoption even after an application has been approved. I have to be honest, any home they go to could result in them actually being unwanted or later being sold on for profit. At my college (recently rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted might i add) they would have a lifelong home where they educate the next generation about appropriate animal care. Some people have like the positive aspects of our animal care unit so much that they have offered animals for free that they were selling.
New Mexico Rescues
I used to volunteer for them and they take very good care of their animals. There are many other colleges all over the UK that keep pets for educational purposes, Bicton College in Devon is a particularly good example. Caring humans looking after them and not leaving them to one side, never letting them stretch their legs like many a chin owner is guilty of doing in their own homes. I have 5 chinchillas of my own so perhaps I should consider having them there. If you have contact info for a shelter in one of these places that does not have pets posted with us, please e-mail us and we'll contact them.
Both rescues operate on a large scale and their sponsorship programs accept PayPal so that anyone worldwide can reach out and bless the life of a precious, deserving chinchilla. I am Cole, I am very easy to handle, very affectionate and is an amazingly easy going chinchilla adoption. I have been vet checked and am ready for a great home.
Rehoming chinchilla - $225 (Dillsburg)
The adult guardian is the person who must fill out the application with notations about who will be the primary caretaker. The two essential components to ANY rehoming, whether through a rescue service or by direct placement, is an adoption contract and a significant adoption fee. These determine whether the adoption applicant has sufficient knowledge and financial competence . Free to good home puts a chin’s life in danger.
Not well-bred the people would say, can’t keep him when he looks that way. Legs too long, head too small, didn’t notice the heart at all. Look at me deeply, I wanted to say, I’ll give you love, please let me stay.

In chinchillas, this is called gastrointestinal stasis and it can kill. Once it’s outside, it’s difficult to recapture a chinchilla. That’s because they hide in burrows and rock crevices. You won’t see where it’s hiding, and you will struggle to convince it to come out even if you do. That’s why trappers would flush wild chinchillas from their burrows by using smoke. If your chinchilla is unhappy with its living situation, then it will take its chances in the wild.
This means that if you let your chinchilla roam freely, it could try to get out. If you’re careful, this won’t be a problem, but it’s something you must be aware of. This problem is made worse if your chinchilla lives outside of its cage full time. The Queensland town of Chinchilla has run out of flowers as masses of floral tributes were placed at the local police station in honour of two officers killed on Monday. For starters, I highly recommend you read my complete guide about how to take care of a chinchilla here.

She is very hand tame, although a bit grouchy if you get her up too early. Mrs. Roberts really loves to be petted and scratched. He loves all the fun and necessary things in his “cage” but prefers napping under an upholstered arm chair or on the head of a big ceramic dog in front of the window AC vent. If you have the extra room that’s CAREFULLY secured, your chinchilla can successfully roam free. The bathroom doesn’t typically have carpet or exposed wires in it, or any wooden furniture. But if you choose the bathroom, you must ensure there is no water your chinchilla can come into contact with.
We came into the rescue on 24th June 2006 as our previous owners were emigrating to the USA. Part of this is the baseline level of confusion about different types of animal groups and what they do. The absence of established standards for companion animal care also contributes.
You also want to know how much work is going to be needed to socialize your chinchilla. To answer that, you need to ask yourself a few more questions. We’ll begin with this quick summary video I made. It doesn’t contain anything that is not in this post, but I know some people prefer video. If you’re the same, skip the video and continue below.
Trust me, in case you are lost or have not been to this website before. All of my advice comes from my own real-world experience. A thinking man feels compelled to approach all life with the same reverence he has for his own.
$250 each including caging, dust pan/ bowl, food dishes, hay, chinchilla diet food, larger running wheel, water bottles, toys and treats. () Eddie has been a part of the family for four years but unfortunately my youngest has developed an allergy to him. We have quite an attachment to our furry friend but cannot keep him with us any longer. Looking for someone who will love and cherish sweet Eddie as much as we do. Please text the number below with a brief description of your housing situation, your chinchilla history, as well as your character.
If you answered those questions with a yes, then it is time to start moving on and covering more of the basics about bringing a chinchilla home. Before you even prepare for the chinchilla adoption, I believe you have one important question you need to ask yourself. All of the chinchillas we rescue have a permanent home here until we can find them a compatible forever home. They stay at the rescue a minimum of thirty days before they can be adopted.
