White ebony (silver) female chinchilla kit (baby)
Born 8/8/24 -- 4 months old
Curious and likes to check things out
Loves to wall-surf!
Can be a challenge to pick up as she may jump right over your hands when you reach for her
If you prove you're quicker than she is -- she does alright with being handled and petted
Always moving and always checking everything out
Definitely not afraid of people, just very on-the-go
Not a cuddly type personality
Might enjoy playtime!
$400 CASH / $440 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Beige mosaic female chinchilla -- "Butterball"
Born 5/12/24 -- 7 months old
Very friendly & outgoing
Repeatedly comes up to the front of the cage
Has a lot of energy
Likes to wall-surf
Can be challenging to pick up at times, and isn't hugely keen on snuggling
More of an on-the-go chinchilla (might really enjoy playtime!)
She does alright with handling and petting once you've got her picked up, but it's simply not her goal in life -- she wants to explore!
Enjoys talking to you when you're around her cage
$500 CASH / $550 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
White ebony (silver) male chinchilla
--RPA carrier--
Born 4/7/24 -- 8 months old
**updated pics & description on of 12/10/24**
Very curious & friendly
Continually comes up to the front of the cage
Relatively easy to scoop up into your arms
Calm & does well with being handled and petted
Super sweet
Sits pretty calmly in your arms while you're loving on him
Great personality, I'm amazed he's still here!
$500 CASH / $550 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
White mosaic female chinchilla & standard grey *neutered* male chinchilla -- Mochi (female) & Maru (male)
--siblings--
Born 10/2016 -- 7.5 years old
Sweet chins!
Maru is the more outgoing one, Mochi is more shy and reserved
Maru will come right to the front of the cage to check everything out! Super friendly boy!
Both do decent with being handled and petted... Maru does better and prefers it more, whereas Mochi is more squirmy and moreso tolerates it
Previous home stated that both enjoy playtime!
Love their treats -- especially oats & hawthorn berries
Really enjoy shredding toys like bamboo shredders & willow balls
Both relatively easy to scoop up, though Mochi needs to warm up a bit before she comes out of her house
Adoption fee -- $350 CASH / $385 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Light ebony Royal Persian Angora male chinchilla kit (baby)
--locken (curly) carrier (he's even sporting a curly tail to show this off!)--
Born 7/27/24 -- 4 months old
Cute, with a fun, quirky personality!
Enjoys talking to you you when you are around his cage or go to scoop him up
Does pretty well with handling and petting
Curious boy
Enjoys checking things out and exploring
Likes to wall-surf
More on the active side, but not super bouncy
Sweet boy!
Farmhand thoughts -- "Super cute fluff, but a bit skittish at times. Not always the biggest fan of being handled, but allows it with no nibbles."
$1200 CASH / $1320 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Violet male chinchilla kit (baby)
Born 7/27/24 -- 4 months old
Can be kind of nervous in new situations
Very sweet, but a bit shy
Relatively easy to scoop up into your arms
Does pretty well with being handled and petted
Pretty calm boy
Farmhand thoughts: "This guy would probably like to be in a chill environment with no littles. He's a small cutie, but will nibble. He has very pretty eyes! He is calm otherwise."
$400 CASH / $440 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT
Standard grey male chinchilla -- "Chico"
--furchewer--
Born 2013 or earlier -- 11+ years old
**Chico can go to his new home with his decked out Double Critter Nation Cage (pictured) for an additional fee. If interested in Chico+his-cage-bundle, we will also throw in some additional ledges & goodies. Inquire for more info.**
**Chico takes awhile to settle into his new home, and has absolutely no issues with being intimidating, barking, and occasionally lunging at anyone in his space. He has never bitten, but he can definitely be intimidating. This boy is not appropriate for a home with children any younger than brave teenagers (if not all adults). Chico would likely do best in an adult-only hold that doesn't stress him out too much (we wouldn't suggest pairing him). He's already a fur-chewer when being left alone to his own devices, so let's not add to his stress!**
**Chico enjoys the occasional goji berry, hawthorn berries, and rosehips (which can be given much more frequently) and will snatch them right out of your hand!**
Not too difficult to pick up, assuming you are smarter than a 1-pound-ball-of-fluff-that's-acting-initimdating
Actually pretty sweet when you're holding him (you just gotta ignore the "before" behavior)
Will chill with you for short periods of time
Does enjoy scratches behind the ears!
Adoption fee -- $100 CASH / $110 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT (not including cage)
Predominantly white Royal Persian Angora (RPA) male chinchilla
Born 8/19/23 -- 1 year old
**this boy received a 2nd Place in his class at the MCBA National Chinchilla Show in March 2024**
**personality description updated on 12/10/24**
Curious and likes to check things out
Relatively easy to scoop up into your arms
Does alright with being handled and petted, just more on the active side
Not a huge fan of the act of being picked up (that pesky dangling feeling must not be comfortable)
Likes to check you out while being handled
Sweet boy
Farmhand thoughts: "Beautiful big ball of leave-me-alone. Not at all aggressive, but will sometimes yell at you when you're trying to get him picked up. Once he's in your arms, he's happy!"
$1000 CASH / $1110 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT

Middle-ground-personality

Standard grey female chinchilla -- 5R9 D1377 -- "Dee"
--retired breeder--
Born 7/7/2014 -- 10.5 years old
**don't let her age fool you, she is not slowing down**
**she nervous pees, so be prepared for a little (not a lot) of leakage as you go to pick her up, possibly some during playtime if you startle her as well**
Pretty chill and calm when in your arms
Chills well with you when you're handling her
May bark and express her displeasure when you are reaching to pick her up -- she has opinions, dontcha know?
Does really well with being handled and petted... just doesn't like the physical act of being picked up
Barks when you reach for her -- can't be intimidated by this big ball of fluff!
Sweet girl (when ignoring the barking)
