Medium tan female chinchilla -- "Eden"
--retired breeder--
Born 5/6/2015 -- (almost) 11 years old
--curious but cautious (very careful about stepping around the eggs)... she will check out new things, but she's in no rush to do so... not my first pic for someone wanting a chin for playtime
--can generally be scooped up pretty easily... just sometimes decides to shift to high gear and show you that she's still a spring chicken! (she still has the energy for zoomies every now and then)

--does great with being handled and petted
--likes to tuck her head into the crook of your arm and chill

--cute boy!
--super easy to scoop up into your arms
--still has some of that baby energy (still very young) and wants to check things out
--more confident in moving around / exploring when being held versus being put down in a new place (we hold them all the time... versus they don't get time to explore... it does make sense)
--does well with being handled and petted
--very sweet boy
--curious in your hands, though does settle down after a bit of handling (not a squirmball by any means though)

White mosaic male chinchilla -- "Moon"
--special needs--
Born 3/2022 -- 4 years old
**Surrendered 3/14/2026**
**Please read -- this boy had dental work done at a vet's office and was advised to come back for x-rays -- his family surrendered him as they were unable to financially afford continuing dental care. In our care (without any further dental work), Moon has actually *gained* a significant amount of weight... so we are offering him up for adoption, with the caveat that whoever adopts this boy should keep track of his weight and his eating habits, and he should be taken to the vet (at the owner's cost), or surrendered back to us (and we will take care of his needs, as his ownership will transfer back to us) if his health becomes un-manageable. Because of this, he is ONLY adoptable within a 2 hour radius of Wolcott, IN (so that it is not a burden if / when he needs to be brought back). He is too sweet to not give him a chance at a good life while he still can enjoy one. No health guarantee on this furball.*
--sweet boy
--relatively easy to scoop up into your arms
--super sweet when being handled and petted
--does awesome with being handled and petted
--just sits and chills with you for the most part
--occasionally can be a bit barky when being taken out of his cage
--melts like a chinchilla plush when being loved on
Adoption fee -- $100 CASH OR ZELLE / $110 CARD OR OTHER ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Standard grey male chinchilla -- "Jerry"
Born 9/2021 -- 4 years old
Surrendered -- 9/6/2025
**Jerry is now being fostered in South Bend, IN. He can either be adopted out from his foster home area, or can be brought back to the rescue (Wolcott, IN) for an adoption as well. Reach out of interested**
**Jerry had a friend prior to coming to the rescue, though he and the buddy had to be separated due to squabbles. It's not clear who started the squabbles, so there's a possibility that he could be paired again in the future (at a new home...we would suggest a very slow intro)**
Jerry is a bit of a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde chinchilla, at least here. In his cage, he's very barky and will stand up and posture, like he's going to bite. He's never bitten us, though his previous owner stated that he did bite them, and he did draw blood.
However... when you get Jerry out of his cage, he is happy as a darn clam. He does great with being handled and petted, and he enjoys checking things out. He enjoys playtime. His previous owner dubbed him "a parkour puppy" and I can understand why. He will climb right up on your body / arms / shoulder / head and is super friendly. He has no desire to bite or act defensive / aggressive when he's NOT in his cage.
We have a video showing what Jerry is like inside and outside of his cage. If you're interested in adopting, please reach out and we'll gladly show you what he is like.
Probably the idea living situation for this little dude is someone who can get him out of his cage and into a playtime setting easily, such as... having a ramp from his cage to the floor (where playtime is) so he can let himself out of the cage. An alternative might be putting a carrier up to his cage, having him hop in, and having him hop out in a playtime area (though that may take more convincing).
When Jerry is acting defensive... he in *intimidating.* Knowing that he has bitten and drawn blood in the past, he should not go to a home with little kids.
