Male Chinchillas (Ebony and Black Velvet) (Stockton)

Their rehome fee is $150 each.
I also have a young standard gray pair ($50 each). They are 10 weeks old.
If you have never had a chinchilla before, please understand the following:
* They are not the same as having a dog or a cat. While they can be very social creatures, they are not cuddly, nor do they necessarily seek out affection. They are prey animals and react as such.
* The average life span of a healthy chinchilla is 15-20 years, so it is quite the commitment.
*They require a specialized diet due to their sensitive digestive tract. Pellets and hay are the only way to go with these little critters.
*They are heat sensitive. The ideal temperature for a chinchilla is between 60-65 degrees. Technically, they should do fine up to 70 degree, but this is something to be mindful of if you don't use your air conditioner in the summer. *They are nocturnal. They tend to sleep during the day and play at night.
*They do like to jump and play, so prepare to have a cage with some ledges. They chew plastic, and it can be harmful for them, so you want to avoid that when looking for a cage.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
