Ebony male singleton chinchilla to a good experienced home

Ocala FL

Description

3 year old male chinchilla. Previously bonded but lost his cagemate a few months ago. I'd love for him to go to another experienced chinchilla home with another male he could possibly bond with. He is a tad on the skittish side. Due to downsiding he was in a dual ferret nation cage and is now in a small rabbit cage. I have the ferret nation cage in storage which will go with him along with ledges, chin spin, food, treats, toys and dust. I'm rehoming him because being in a smaller space now without a way to separate him from the rest of the living space has made life sadder for him as he has a small bachelor pad instead of his glorious ferret nation castle and the dust and hay despite best efforts are starting to cause health issues for the humans and cat. He needs to go to someone who can let him have playtime outside his cage and he can have all the dust baths he wants without humans or cat having coughing fits. I used to live in a much much larger living space and he had his own bedroom and I was able to control the dust, hay and hair without an issue. But since moving I don't have the space or time. Chinchillas are extremely difficult rodents. They are nothing like rabbits or hamsters. They are also incredibly expensive for upkeep. Again I really would prefer him to go to an experienced home OR someone who has done research on chinchillas include their temperate requirements, understand they need an exotic vet and diet needs. Asking $150 for rehoming fee for this reason. Thank you
