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.

Standard grey female chinchilla -- "Murmur"
Born 2020-2021 -- 5-6 years old
**we have learned that Murmur does NOT like other furballs and does NOT want a buddy**
--sweet girl
--pretty easy to scoop up into your arms, if you can ignore the barking while you're scooping her up (she's all bark and no bite!)
--can definitely be active at times
--prefers a looser grip when being handled
--probably would enjoy playtime as she's a bit more on-the-go
--not a cuddler
--likes moving around while being held, though does settle down after being handled for some time
--not a huge fan of apple sticks, but does enjoy other treats such as dried flowers
--comes right up to the front of the cage to greet you
Farmhand's thoughts on Murmur -- "friendly, but very bouncy and energetic!"
