Carolina Chinchilla Ranch - Tiffany's Chinchillas

Carolina Chinchilla Ranch - Tiffany's Chinchillas Carolina Chinchilla Ranch is a hobby breeder of show quality chinchillas. Located in Roxboro, North Carolina on the Virginia border.

Available by appointment only. We offer boarding, owner surrender and carry custom supplies. Carolina Chinchilla Ranch is a top quality chinchilla breeder and rescue located in northern North Carolina on the Virginia border. Our focus in breeding is to produce top quality, healthy and friendly chinchillas for you to enjoy as part of your family - whether they're pets, or to possibly start up your

own herd. We devote our time and hearts into each individual animal born at my home. Tiffany purchased her first pair of chinchillas back in high school. She began breeding chinchillas as a hobby and to just own them as pets. These amazing creatures really take over your life in no time. After attending her first chinchilla show in 2008, She revamped my breeding herd as she realized her breeding pairs weren't considered breeding quality. Education is the key - there is a large difference in a pet quality chinchilla and breeding quality chinchillas. Her husband Mackenzie decided to join in on the adventure in 2020. Find a mentor who actually knows what they're doing and ask many questions! Our chinchillas have bloodlines from top breeders and ranchers including Hummel, La Paloma, Ritterspach, Ryerson, Shoots and Whitewoods to name a few. We also have our own bloodlines and have purchased several herds over the years. We are members of the Mutation Chinchilla Breeders Association (MCBA) and Empress Chinchilla Breeders Cooperative (ECBC) registered under the ranch brand "MTDY" previously and currently under "TIFF". Tiffany is an Empress sanctioned show judge and has judged shows under both organizations. Tiffany started the ECBC Southern Atlantic Branch which comprises MD, VA, TN, NC and SC, and has sat on board as president since it began. We breed for standard gray, black velvet, white, beige and ebony and the recessive mutation violet. Our Mutations are bred back to top quality standards in order to increase quality in the offspring. We do not breed animals that are not pedigreed or that do not meet show quality standards. We take in chinchillas in need and allow owner surrenders, even though we are not a full time rescue. We offer boarding at $25 a week per chinchilla. Our customers have ALWAYS been pleased with the chinchillas that we have produced and I hope that you will too! Check the 'Available Chinchillas' tab for animals available for sale and 'Supplies for Sale' for some of the supplies we carry. We custom make supplies for small animals that you won't find in a pet store but will be perfectly safe for your exotic animals and easy to deck out the cage! We have excellent prices and high quality products.

We were just asked how to tell the s*x of a baby chinchilla. It’s actually quite easy.

The easiest way to think of it, is if there is a gap, it’s a chap. We hold the baby upside down by the tail. Males have a gap (space) between the a**s and the pe**le sheath. Females have little to no gap and the urethral cone is located directly next to the a**s. This can be seen the day they’re born, there’s no reason to wait.

And the cute toe beans are just free…

Just weaned -

Mosaic, rpac male

Ready to go! He is Cooper's half brother, they are now currently paired together, but can go as singles or a pair.

He is missing his front toes on one foot. It doesn't affect him negatively in any way. This is a common occurrence that happens when mom's are birthing and babies are having a hard time coming out. Females will use their teeth to pull the babies out.

We would like to remind everyone that chinchillas in general take a bit of time to settle in, and many just do not like to be handled. We give out instructions to our customers to not touch your animals for the first week, which I know is very hard to do, but I feel that it helps them adjust better and acclimate to their new environment.

This is one of the current owner surrenders that came in 2 weeks ago, that was extremely flighty and I could barely even get a photo of him. Today he let me touch him for the first time. It’s all about trust, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Stop with the mindset that chinchillas in general are cuddly, they’re not. These TikTok videos you see are highly trained animals that the owners spend a massive amount of time with. YOU have to put effort into the chinchilla you get. Be patient. Be kind. Spread the love.

It's been a while since I've made a bit of a rant post, but I feel like I just have to get this off of my chest.

We have gotten a ton of inquiries for chinchillas recently and the question is always - how much are your chinchillas? Our website has up to date pricing and photos of our animals, most do not take the time to look. Many do not realize the cost of these animals and expect them to be cheaper than a pet store. We get a ton of rude comments in reply stating they cannot afford my prices, which is fine, but we also have cheaper options - owner surrenders.

Some call them rescues, but we are not a rescue - we take in animals when we can and for many reasons. We do not adopt out sick animals and so many think our animals are sick with the low fees. That's usually one of the questions I get is - why were the surrendered, do they have health issues? 90 percent of animals are surrendered because the owner doesn't want them anymore or their life situation has changed. We are not here to judge, but we make sure with all of the animals that we do not pass on problems to a new owner. Our fees on owner surrenders are super low for a reason - they usually are older, some have temperament issues and some do not come with any supplies (though we do charge a little extra with cage and supplies, reasonably). We want to find them permanent homes and we do at a very large discount - that is the goal.

The problem recently has been the request to deliver surrenders and expecting us to meet them half way, some for free and some for a low fee. In the last week, 75 percent of surrender requests have come with a delivery request as well and not a single one has followed through. Most requests have been within 1-2 hours and some much further and they cannot make the effort to make the drive and turn down the animal down. We don't deliver owner surrenders at all. I am not transporting cages to another state. These animals have already been dumped at our home - we want someone who is serious about them and if you cannot make the drive, why do you deserve this animal? If you cannot afford to drive to pick them up - how are you going to afford a vet bill when they occur? That's the first thing that comes to mind is - if you cannot make this effort, how are you going to take care of the animal when something goes wrong?

We don't have this problem with those that want to purchase our animals bred here - most will drive 5-10 hours one way without question. It's always the customers who want owner surrenders, or the cheapest chin they can find. Please, if you cannot afford to drive to pick up animals - don't try to adopt. We are NOT Amazon. We are not a door to door service. This should be something you think about before contacting someone with animals. Many in this business do not offer shipping or delivery and most that do are scams. What happened to the old days of actually making an effort when it comes to adding a new member to your family? Take the time to look at the location of who you contact and if they are too far of a drive for you, or too expensive, maybe you're not ready to own a chinchilla.
