My story

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

We have a dark ebony female chinchilla who’s looking for her new home. She came to the rescue just a bit ago, and is now ready to leave and go to a family of her own.

She was born around 11/22/2016, making her right around 4 months old. Her color is called dark ebony, which means she is a dark black color all over her body, including her belly! Because she is an ebony, she does not have the white belly that you often see on chinchillas, but rather, she is the same color all over.

This girl is very energetic. Boing boing boing! She just has to check out everything you put in front of her, and explore every inch of absolutely everything! Super curious. She’s energetic enough, that it needs to be said that this girl cannot have playtime or an overly large cage before she’s 6 months old, as she could literally exhaust herself into low blood sugar, because of her high energy levels. We don’t want her to wear herself out and hurt her health! If you haven’t caught on… she’s energetic. She is still young, so she may calm down a bit, but there’s no way to know, other than to wait and see. She does calm down a bit when you’re holding and petting her. Likely, she’d be a fun one for playtime when she’s old enough.

Once you get through the high energy side of her… she is a sweet girl. She has what appears to be a slight scar on her nose, where she’s got a little bit of hair missing. There’s a chance this isn’t a scar and the hair will grow back (you can see this in one of the pics), but no way to know at this time. She’s not afraid of people, but just not keen on chilling in your hands for super long periods of time either. Doesn’t bite.

She would make a great “first chinchilla” for someone who’s never had one before, as long as they understand that she is definitely more of an active chinchilla.

This chinchilla is currently caged alone. However, if you interested in pairing her up with your, or one of our, chinchillas, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

This chinchilla will come with some food to start you out (Tradition pellets), a goodie bag of chews/treats, and a printed out version of our care packet. He will also come with a lifetime of help and support, should you ever need it. If more supplies are needed, we also sell a variety of chinchilla supplies, from cages to hidey houses to hammocks and everything in between.

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.

This chinchilla is located in Hammond, Indiana (zip code 46324). Sorry, but we do not ship.

The adoption fee for this dark ebony female chinchilla kit (baby) is $200
