White mosaic female chinchilla & standard grey *neutered* male chinchilla -- Mochi (female) & Maru (male)
--siblings--
Born 10/2016 -- 7 years old
Sweet chins!
Maru is the more outgoing one, Mochi is more shy and reserved
Maru will come right to the front of the cage to check everything out! Super friendly boy!
Both do decent with being handled and petted... Maru does better and prefers it more, whereas Mochi is more squirmy and moreso tolerates it
Previous home stated that both enjoy playtime!
Love their treats -- especially oats & hawthorn berries
Really enjoy shredding toys like bamboo shredders & willow balls
Both relatively easy to scoop up, though Mochi needs to warm up a bit before she comes out of her house

Our adoption process requires all of our potential homes to read our care packet and fill out an adoption form. The care packet talks about the care and needs of the specific animal the home is looking to adopt. The adoption form asks questions about the type of home the animal will be going into, what type of cage will be used, what type of food the animal will be fed, and so on - questions to verify that the pet will be cared for well in its new home. There is no application fee with our rescue, the only fees are the adoption fees for the pets.

Go meet their pets
Visiting our adoptable animals requires an appointment. To make an appointment with us, give us a call 219-789-0026. The rescue is run out of our house, so we are not always home for someone to view the animals. We are home most afternoons/evenings, and people are welcome to come visit then (after having called and set up an appointment).

More about this rescue
I am Ashley Gajda and I am the "owner" (if it could even be called that) of the rescue. I opened this rescue because I hated to see small pets without homes, and wanted to help. We opened the rescue in 2003 with very few cages, but have since expanded and now take in a variety of small animals and have plenty of spare cages. It is just me running the rescue, so I'm always looking for volunteers to help with whatever needs it at the time.
