General Chat / I have the best chinchilla ever

« on: February 25, 2012, 01:00:32 PM »

So.  I got my first chinchilla from Mrs. Jamie (the owner of this site) with my girlfriend a week ago today.  He was a little nervous in his new home, and would bark a little and lunge (never bite).  That was day 1.  Now he already comes to greet me at the cage (sometimes, he is a little moody but i like that), never lunges, never barks, lets my friends pet him and play with him.  He's the best little guy ever.  I've heard of people taking months to train their chinchillas, Rufus is almost completely tame after 6 full days.  Today he has started grooming me a little bit, and when my girlfriend woke up she said he was at the door of the cage so she just picked him up and carried him around for a while.  I still haven't really picked him up because I don't want him to think I'm GRABBING him but I could definately believe it.  He is so sweet.  I love him so much already, and so do all my friends that have met him so far.  It's hard to believe he is so social that he was running around a group of almost 9 people last night totally fine.  All petting him and reaching for him.  Such a sweet little guy.  He's the best.

Edit:

Oh and I forgot to mention that I have wanted a chinchilla since the third grade.  I'm almost 23 now, so it's been a loooooong wait for Rufus.  And I couldn't possibly have gotten a better one!

I am so excited!  You really love this too!  It is rare to find someone these days who cares more about what they are doing than money.  Since you are so specific, this chinchilla will be mine, but I have a girlfriend of years who I am planning my life with and I know she will constantly want to be with the chinchilla as well.  In addition to us, of course, I have friends and visitors that I know would be very curious about a cute fuzzball like a chin!

Energetic isn't always a bad thing, but I think a calmer chinchilla would mesh with my personality better.  Thank you for your honesty  I kept looking at your site and sent a couple e-mails but didn't receive anything back (no worries).  I have been hoping to hear a response from you!  Mainly because you seem so knowledgeable and your site so professional (plus good reviews)  I will absolutely wait a few weeks for the baby chins, but I can't promise I won't be really anxious!!!

Oh, and I guess I should add to please keep in touch or let me know a way to contact you

South East USA / Looking for a Chinchilla (South Carolina)

« on: January 31, 2012, 04:43:05 PM »

I have never had a chinchilla before.  I have done my homework, I've wanted one for a long time but I am just now able to have one   I live in Charleston, South Carolina, and I am looking for a breeder to get the chinchilla from. 

I really would rather not purchase from a pet store. 
I don't really have a preference on color. 
I don't have any interest in breeding so male/female doesn't matter. 

What I'm looking for is a kit, so he/she knows me from almost day 1, and I'm looking for a chinchilla from a breeder so that I know the pet is coming from a responsible place that actually cares about both the animals and the people wanting to keep them.  I know that chinchillas are individuals, like most living things, and if anything the only second thing I'm looking for is a curious/social/friendly kit.
