My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We have a standard grey female chinchilla looking for her new home. Her name is Gigi. Gigi is going to be 3 years old this upcoming February.

Gigi is a sweet chinchilla, but would do best in a home that has chinchilla experience. She does not like the sensation of being picked up, so she sometimes tries to nip or spray to avoid being picked up. However, once you are holding her, she is very sweet and does well being held.

She is very energetic and loves to be let out for playtime. She can run and run and run. She would do best in a home that either plans to let her out for playtime often or has a wheel for her to get her energy out on.

Gigi does NOT get along with other chinchillas, so she must be housed separately.

As with all of our chinchillas/rescues, Gigi will come with 2 pounds of food to start you out (Mazuri pellets), a baggy of chews/treats, and a printed out version of our care packet. She will also come with a lifetime of help and support, should you ever need it. If more supplies are needed, we also sell our popular Starter Package ($25) which includes 5 pounds of food, 2 pounds of dust, 24 oz of hay, a baggie of chews/treats, and a hanging toy. We also offer a variety of other supplies for sale, including cages (new and used), chew toys, and hidey houses.

Regardless of past chinchilla experience, all potential homes will be asked to read our chinchilla care packet and fill out our adoption application/chinchilla questionnaire. If you are unwilling to do this, please do not waste our time or yours. No chinchilla will go to a new home without an adoption application being filled out - no exceptions.

Gigi is located in Munster, Indiana (zip code 46321).

Gigi’s adoption fee is $75
