Standard grey female chinchilla -- "Umami"
Born 8/2023 -- 2 years old
Surrendered -- 2/12/2025
This youngish rescue chinchilla is named Umami. She came to us back in February. She's a whopping 2 years young! We were told that she seems more comfortable in her cage and she shakes when she's being held. We've spent time working with her, trying to get her to come around... we've decided... They're... not wrong.
Umami is definitely protective of her cage. Read -- if you don't snatch her out of her cage REALLY-QUICKLY, she will stand up and spray you (heck, just opening her cage and getting close, you get a barrage of barking). Even if you do get her out, she's just not thrilled about being in your arms. If you leave her in her cage? She's fun to watch, she's a good chin... enjoys chewing on things, hopping around and looking cute... she just prefers more of a hands-off lifestyle.
Our farmhand's notes on her read -- "she is not a fan of people. She's super bouncy and energetic as well. Bound for the floor in 0.2 seconds!"
We wouldn't suggest playtime... as you'll *never* catch her. A good size cage with lots of enrichment, maybe even a wheel, could be a lot of fun for her. She's just not likely ever going to be cuddly. But she deserves a home too! Is it you?

Hetero beige female chinchilla -- "Morticia"
Born approx. 12/2023 -- 1.75 years old
Surrendered -- 12/14/2024
**Morticia is not a chin for someone just starting out in chins... unless you really want a hands-off furball**
**Morticia is a fan of spraying. Like, it might as well be a hobby of hers. If you can grab her quick enough, you may not get sprayed... but this is difficult even for me -- 23+ years in -- so beginners beware. She immediately stands up to spray when you reach for her, though she IS fine with you simply opening the cage to fill food and water.**
**Morticia did have a buddy in the past, so she might do fine with another chin buddy... in case someone wants to pair up this spicy girl**
--not a fan of being handled (even after you have your own golden shower to get to this point)
--squirmy in your arms, keeps moving while being handled
--happy as a clam in her cage, being left alone
--a very look-but-don't-touch pet
Farmhand thoughts: "She's super cute, but NOT a fan of hands coming towards her. Big fan of spraying. Not super energetic, but will be that way in attempt to get away from whatever human is trying to hold her."

Brown velvet female chinchilla
--possible ebony carrier--
Born 2/7/2025 -- 8 months old

Pair of standard grey males #1 & #3 from hoarding case
--unknown ages-- (one is an adult, other is probably 4-6 months as of 8/2025)
**these boys are two of 10 chinchillas that we got in as part of a hoarding case... the girls are still on pregnancy watch, but these two males have cleared quarantine and are ready to find their new home**
**as there was only one adult male out of the 10 chinchillas (#3), it is likely that he is the father of many of the others including the younger male (#1), so this is most likely a father / son pair**
Surrendered -- 5/15/2025
--very sweet boys
--curious and come right up to the front of the cage if you give them a moment to warm up
--fairly outgoing!
--they have their moments... sometimes they're easier to pick up and other times they make you work for it
--both do pretty well with being handled and petted once you've got them out
--probably would enjoy playtime
--very sweet boys!
Farmhand comments: "#1 -- tiny and fast, not a mean bone in his body but he sure will bounce away sometimes.
#3 -- a little more shy, but still friendly. Energetic upon first coming out, but once he's settled he's pretty chill."
Adoption fee (for the pair) -- $275 CASH / $303 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
