Ebony White Female Chinchilla

Stockton CA

Description

I have a beautiful, very sweet female chinchilla looking for a new home. She is approximately 3 years old. Her rehoming fee is $275. I also have a violet female, and a couple of beautiful standard females I am rehoming. If you have never had a chinchilla before, please understand the following: * They are not the same as having a dog or a cat. While they can be very social creatures, they are not cuddly nor do they necessarily seek out affection. They are prey animals and react as such. * The average life span of a healthy chinchilla is 15-20 years so it is quite the commitment. *They require a specialized diet due to their sensitive digestive track. Pellets and hay are really the only way to go with these little critters. *They are heat sensitive. The ideal temperature for a chinchilla is between 60-65 degrees. Technically, they should do fine up to 70 degree, but this is something to be mindful of if you don't use your air conditioner in the summer. *They are nocturnal. They tend to sleep during the day and play at night. *They do like to jump and play so prepare to have a cage with some ledges. They chew plastic and it can be harmful for them so you want to avoid that when looking for a cage. Please contact me if you have any questions.
