Violet female chinchilla
Born 7/11/25 -- 7 months old
**this girl is out of our good violet lines, but she's just not growing as we had hoped... small-ish for her age (not small... but not show-size)**
--has opinions
--actually relatively easy to scoop up into your arms though (just ignore her posturing)
--tries to be intimidating... will stand up on her hind legs, but has *never* sprayed and *never* bitten (all bark and no bite lol)
--chills with you calmly in your arms once you have her
--does great with being handled and petted
--actually a very sweet girl once you have picked her up... she just has opinions *about* you picking her up
Picture this furball as the girl wearing the baseball cap backwards, acting like she's Miss Tough Girl, who then goes home and cuddles up with her teddy bear and blankie at night. This is that girl. Psst -- it's all an act!

Standard grey female chinchilla -- "Kira"
--retired breeder--
Born 6/24/2019 -- 6.5 years old
**we tried to pair up Kira and another chin awhile back -- Kira was badly injured... though the other chin didn't have a scratch on her. It's possible Kira might be paired with another chinchilla as she showed no aggression**
**Kira is a bit spicy towards me in her cage now, *only* since the pairing incident (and then, her wounds needing to be treated, medicated, her getting 2x daily antibiotics)... I'm not sure if this would change with a new person / new place or not, though we find her very sweet out of her cage**
--has opinions in her cage
--relatively easy to scoop up if you ignore the opinions (does not bite)
--very sweet in your arms
--does well with being handled and petted
--sits pretty nicely for handling and petting
--enjoys checking things out, though not overly active
--still plenty of life in her... might enjoy playtime
--good mix of calm when being held, but still with some energy to explore and do things
--sweet girl!

Standard grey female chinchilla -- "Umami"
Born 8/2023 -- 2.5 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?
