White mosaic female chinchilla & standard grey *neutered* male chinchilla -- Mochi (female) & Maru (male)
--siblings--
Born 10/2016 -- 7 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
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 -- 7 months old
**this boy has the tiniest smidge of an attitude and will bark at you and let you know what he thinks of you when you are going to pick him up -- doesn't bite, isn't mean... just talkative and needs someone not intimidated by this**
**this boy received a 2nd Place in his class at the MCBA National Chinchilla Show in March 2024**
Relatively easy to scoop up into your arms (if you ignore the barking)
Pretty sweet boy
Does well with being handled and petted
Moves around a bit while being handled and petted
Still has some of that baby chin energy
Likes to explore
A bit more on the active side
