chinchilla wanted

Hi
I recently lost my chinchilla through old age, and I really would
love to rehome/adopt another, preferably with cage.
I have a loving home waiting.

Re: chinchilla wanted

Whereabouts are you?

Just out of interest, what happened to the old chinchilla cage?

Re: chinchilla wanted

Chinchillas are normally social animals and are better in pairs or groups. I hate to see a single chinchilla living alone

Chinchilla rescues are usually overflowing and you should be able to find some animals needing permanent homes

Re: chinchilla wanted

Hi
I live in Basildon. Essex. I've kept the cage, all ready for its
new occupants. I love them so much, and hate being without
them.

Re: chinchilla wanted

If you've kept the cage, why would you prefer them to come with 1? That just seemed a bit odd to me.

It's a shame you aren't nearer otherwise I would have suggested where I volunteer.

Try this website: ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRES, REHOMING CENTRES AND SHELTERS IN THE UK it might have some links to rescues that are closer to you.

Re: chinchilla wanted

Just wasn't sure if the new chinchillas would object to the scent of
my others in the cage?

You can scrub it thoroughly with dilute bleach to remove any lingering smells then rinse it off well.

Re: chinchilla wanted

And if you're worried about using the right disinfectants or whatever you can get pet-safe ones from most pet shops, even some supermarkets like Morrisons do them in the pet section. Giving the cage a good disinfect neutralises any smells in the cage.
