Available Chins 2
Med / dark ebony male chinchilla kit (baby)
Born 8/8/24 -- 4 months old
**he is a bit darker colored in real life... he just had a dust bath prior to this pic**
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy
Did I mention bouncy?
This boy is very on-the-go
King of a nervous, jumpy personality
Probably would do best with a more experienced owner as he can be squirmy at times... but can still be handled and petted... just he is always moving
Farmhand thoughts -- "Skittish little guy, he is one I wouldn't put in an upbeat environment with littles, but still can be handled and is a cutie! He just needs someone that can understand him :)"
$250 CASH / $275 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT* (discounted due to personality)
Hetero beige male chinchilla kit (baby)
--missing part of paw (see photo)--
Born 9/8/24 -- 3 months old
Curious and likes to check things out
Can sometimes be a bit bouncy when you go to scoop him up
Does pretty well with being handled and petted
Moves around when being handled, but not a squirmball
Sweet boy!
Farmhand thoughts -- "Super calm and nice boy, he would also be a good cuddle-companion I believe. The front left paw has damage, but healed nicely and looks almost normal. I mean this guy is literally so sweet."

Medium ebony male chinchilla -- "Fuzz Solo"
Born 2/2022 -- 2 years old
**Fuzz Solo came into the rescue paired with another chinchilla. However, the two had a disagreement, and are no longer getting along. Due to this disagreement & the injuries to both chinchillas, we will not be attempting to pair this boy with any other chinchillas.**
**Fuzz Solo is now being fostered in South Bend, IN, and can be adopted / picked up directly from his foster home. Contact if interested in bringing this furball into your life!**
Very active, very curious personality
Would probably enjoy playtime
Can be held for short periods of time
Will settle down for short bits while being handled, just never going to be huge on snuggling
Sweet boy, just active

Does well with handling and petting

Farmhand thoughts -- "Super chill guy, seems to be more interested in taking a nap than playing or hanging with anyone."
$500 CASH / $550 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Standard grey female chinchilla -- "Mavis"
--unknown age (adult)--
**Mavis sleeps in the cutest positions, laying on her sides, her stomach, her back... but be aware, she's the sweetest when she's sleeping (and giving her family heart attacks when they think she's dead... nope, just sleeping!). Want to reach into the cage to get her out? She has no qualms with spraying you if she's in a bad mood. This is NOT a chinchilla for a family with little kids or anyone who's easily intimidated by chinchilla antics.**
**Mavis is a HEAVY chewer and will demolish anything she can reach, plastic DEFINITELY included. She will need to go home to an ALL-METAL cage -- NO plastic shelves, no plastic pan, no plastic anything. Everything within reach of her must be chin-safe. Think of her as the chin-toddler that you need to proof against.**
So, basically... she's considered cage aggressive. BUT! Once you get past the streams of pee and pick her up...
Likes to tuck her head into the crook of your arm while being held
Not bad about being held!
Actually does pretty well with being handled and petted
Will chill with you relatively nicely
**this chinchilla has never bitten anyone...she basically is territorial and needs an owner who understands that and will love her regardless**
**we have been told that Mavis will stress-run on a wheel (and this is HIGHLY believable due to her personality, so she should NOT have a wheel in her new home. She is already a petite chinchilla and would not do well with losing any weight**
Adoption fee -- $100 CASH / $110 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT

Talks at you through her cage (it's cute!)
Moves around and continues to explore while being held, but not jumping-out-of-your-arms energetic (just curious... oh look! new things!)
Sweet girl
Bit more on the active side
