Please… please.. before sending money to anyone or any organization do a bit of research. Ask questions, and if it seems too good to be true and a great deal it probably is.

Scams are everywhere now and unfortunately, you have to be on guard.

 The chinchilla breeder community is very small, and if you reach out to anyone through their website and ask about a particular breeder more more likely than not, you’ll be able to get a reference of whom you could be buying a potential chin from.

We ask for a small deposit to be made, we use PayPal invoicing so that you have a copy of your receipt, we do meet up in a public location for the safety of ourselves and potential adapters. This is all spelled out on our website. 🙂

Happy New Year! 🎉

To ring in thr new year, we here at Sunshine Chinchillas would like to answer a question we get asked quite often.

Why don’t you take phone calls? How do I know you are real?!❓‼️

The simple answer is we prefer to use email, messaging (through Facebook or Instagram), or texting via our business phone number.

➡️For anyone that is looking to adopt, we have an adoption form that must be filled out. This is to start the adoption process. This helps us keep track of the numerous inquiries we get throughout the year. 

➡️ We do have business hours. Just like your local supermarket, we won’t be open at 3am. A response will be sent the next day during our business hours.

➡️ We are always glad to answer questions and supply references if asked. The chinchilla community is very small and we have been to shows all over the US. We are known, and know almost all of the larger breeders who show here in the states.

➡️ Lastly, while we wish talking about and taking care of chins was our main job, all of us here at Sunshine Chinchillas do have full-time careers and time can be limited. A 30-minute phone call during working hours is just not possible. We also do not take evening phone calls, this allows us to unplug / unwind and focus on the chins.

So to sum it up, electronic correspondence is just so much easier and makes the adoption process a bit more smooth and streamlined. Which is why we do not take phone calls.

If an adopter is not comfortable with communicating with us in this way, we can direct anyone to another breeder who does offer phones calls. Just let us know 🙂

We are safe, minimal damage and we did lose power. However, our generator is working and chins are staying cool!

We are now officially under a state of emergency for hurricane Milton. To all of our adopters and those who have surrendered, we are prepared and are stocking up on food, water, and supplies. We also have a generator and portable AC unit for when we lose power, so all chinnies will be kept cool!

Be safe everyone!

🌪⛈Uh oh! Looks like we might have a hurricane coming! It’s good to keep these tips in mind when preparing for it’s arrival:

✅Water: make sure to have enough for your animals and yourself. At least a gallon per person a day, half gallon per pet a day. Be sure to bring bottled/boiled/filtered water on any car rides to give your chinchilla.

✅A/C: do you have a generator or a friends house to bring your chin to in case of power outages? Remember, they need to be in a consistently cool temperature; frozen water bottles are not a good substitute for this.

✅Food: make sure to have enough for your animals and yourself, at least a weeks worth of food and fresh hay or hay cubes.

✅Medical Supplies: antibacterial ointment, saline solution, wash clothes, oral syringes and plain Cheerios are always good to have around just in case.

✅Travel cage or carrier: are you prepared to evacuate? Be sure to have a carrier (hard plastic or metal, no fabric) prepped with food, water, hay and bedding just in case. Consider a temporary cage if you are staying somewhere else for a while.

✅Evacuation plans: finding a destination, planning out a route, stockpiling supplies, and creating a game plan are some of the best ways to be prepped for sudden evacuation.

Our Story

Central Florida chinchilla breeder who also does a small bit of rescue. After relocating to Michigan, we are back in Florida and are hoping to expand the South East Coastal chapter of MCBA in the Orlando area.

We take great pride in the animals we raise. All of our chinchillas are pets first and show animals second. We focus on standard, beige, ebony, tan and sapphire. On occasion we will have mosaics, violets, and few other colors. If you would like more information about us, please feel free to message us.
