I have been handling my baby chinchillas from birth to ensure friendly, social pet chins.
Chinchillas are not your typical 'lap' pet. They are extremely loving and curious but generally enjoy
playing with you rather than just sitting on your lap. I recommend a play area where you can interact
with your pet chin. Chins are quite fast and hard to catch when they escape so I recommend an
enclosed play area such as a play pen or bathroom (with door shut, toilet seats down, and trash
cans removed). Giving your new chin plenty of love and attention will help him/her be a healthier and
happier chinchilla who can give you years of enjoyment and companionship. Please review all of my
chinchilla information on this site to help you understand your new pet. You may also e-mail me
with any questions you may have.
I will be weaning my baby chins from their moms at about 10 weeks of age but they will need to stay
with me for an additional 1-2 weeks to ensure they are thriving on their own before going to their new
homes. Chinchilla prices will vary since different color mutations are more rare and difficult to get. My
chinchilla prices will range from about $125-$350 per chin. I can hold a
baby chin for you with a non-refundable 50% deposit. Please be certain you want to commit to a chin
before giving me a deposit since the deposits are non-refundable. I reserve the right to refuse a sale or
to terminate a sale if I feel my chins would not be going to a good forever home. My chins will each
come with a care package which will include a small bag of pellets, small bag of grain supplement,
some hay, a toy ball, a wood block to chew on, care information papers, & pedigree papers. I build my
own cages and also sell many supplies and treats. You can see the items I have available on my Cages and Supplies page.
I do not ship my chinchillas but am willing to meet a customer half way up to 2 1/2 hours from my
home in Gibsonia, PA. The customer must pay for my gas for the trip, pay for any toll fees necessary,
and have sent me 50% of the total cost for the chin (s) before I meet them. Please e-mail me
if you are interested in any of my baby chinchillas, cages, or supplies.
