Angel’s Chinchillas 2

28/08/2022

This little guy is really striking. I love his color as it isn’t quite silver, but more of white and black. He was born looking like a standard, however he has lightened up tremendously. He will prob retain alotof his coloring. He is 10 weeks old!

He is currently looking for a new home.

Let’s talk about Angoras for a minute. I recently posted a beige male up, and am now including his brother. So, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about them.

Angoras are a relatively new mutation in the chinchilla world. They have much longer fur then a normal chinchilla. I have also found they require dusting more often to keep their fur looking nicer.

Because they are a new mutation, they are considered a weaker gene chinchilla. Breeders who are working with them are constantly trying to improve their fur density, strength, and length. Size can also be an issue with them. Don’t let their looks fool you, They tend to be much smaller body size wise. All that long fur makes them look much bigger then they are……. But they are so fluffy!!!!

Breeding these guys are not for the faint of heart. Breeding angora to angora can be done, but until reputable breeders have worked with them more, it’s better to breed angora to carrier or non carrier.

Because of all these factors, angoras tend to be much more expensive then a normal chinchilla. A typical angora will cost at a minimum 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, and go up depending on breeding potential, color, and quality. If you enquired about them from any reputable breeder, be prepared for a high cost!

I can not stress this more. This is why I ask for a deposit. This is why I only take appointments.

14/03/2022

I try and give a heads up on all transports, but I like to finish one before i advertise the next. However, that would only leave two weeks to jump on this one for April! It’s the weekend of April 15th! Just in time for Easter!

This means transport can happen for anything after stop 8!

28/02/2022

Here is the current list of chinchillas looking for new homes. There is still a few that I was not able to get photos of, so if you don’t see anything, let me know and I may still have it.

Transport between Illinois and Maryland, as well as up and down the east coast is available. Transport is an added cost.

23/02/2022

I haven’t been able to get all the chins photographed, but here are a few!

30/01/2022

While I was off dealing with Covid Pneumonia during December, I had some long awaited kits born! I didn’t get to see them till almost January, let alone even know about them! They were almost 3 weeks old when I was able to breath in the room again. Thank goodness for helpers. But…… here they are!

This is the second litter of kits for this particular mom. An Angora standard and beige. Both are male, and might be for sale in a couple of months. I’m debating on holding the standard angora back because he is so nice! I’ve already named him my fuzzy Caterpillar 😂

30/01/2022

A customer of mine needs to rehome her two chinchillas. Their names are Oreo and Luna. Luna is the friendlier of the two, but they are both outgoing and love to explore. These two should go together. The beige, Luna, is from me and is around 16 weeks old. The white, Oreo, is from a pet store, so her age is unknown. My guess would be under 24 weeks with her temperament and size.

As always, transports are available from Illinois to Maryland and up/down the east coast.

Violet female

This little girl is so precious! How can anyone resist this face?!? She is currently housed with another super sweet white mosaic female and they are doing well together.

15/10/2021

TOV Violet Wrap Male

This guy is super dark in color and has a sweet personality! He loves exploring and his apple wood sticks. For those that don’t know what the “wrap” portion means, his color “wraps” around his belly….. or in other words, he doesn’t have a white belly, just one that is a similar color to the rest of his body.

This guy is super dark in color and has a sweet personality! He loves exploring and his apple wood sticks.

12/10/2021

We had two cute little males born today! A white ebony and a dark/extra dark ebony! They are adorable! Both will be looking for new homes around Christmas time.

07/10/2021

Sapphire Male

Would you like to dine with me? This little guy is just amazing and super cute. He’s not overly energetic but will still keep you on your toes and has a curiosity as big as the ocean! Though, had I of given him a little longer he would have been quite content to sit on the bench all day.

How can anyone resist this face!!!

Ready for pick up in a few weeks.

07/10/2021

White mosaic female

She does have a unique spot on the right side of her face! It’s so cute! She is super friendly and is doing well with her violet female cage mate.

26/09/2021

We had a shock today when we found not just one, but TWO white mosaics doing well with mom! One male, one female. The female will be held back, but the male (left) will be available after he is weened.

26/09/2021

It’s been a while since I updated this page, however we do still have lots available! Please let me know if there is something specific you are looking for! I will try and update this page completely over the next week! For now, enjoy some pictures of cities that are available for adoption.

I’d like to take some time to explain something to my followers tonight that comes up often.

Why are your chinchillas so much?

Here is why…

Chinchillas are not just a small animal. They are an exotic pet. Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, and rats are small animals. They have short life spans.

Chinchillas live 15-20+ years. They are a long commitment.

They are temperature sensitive and have to be kept under 73 degrees at all times.

They’re not usually cuddly, they own you. You take care of them and watch and enjoy them. They’re entertaining to watch zoom around their cage ledges.

They have strict diets, and strict care requirements. No plastic, no paper bedding, only metal cages and wood or metal ledges and houses.

You can’t go to the pet store and get everything you need. You need to be willing to shop online and buy from special vendors. The pet store has limited SAFE items.

Finding a vet who will see your chinchilla can be challenging, this is something you should locate before getting a chinchilla.

Chinchillas are known for carrying malocclusion, a really awful tooth diseases where roots and or surface can overgrow. No, teeth trimmings do not cure this. You can’t cure a root growing into a chinchillas eye socket. Can you imagine your tooth growing into your eye socket? Most humans complain about breaking skin when your wisdom teeth come in or your molars.

I repeat, chinchillas are not USUALLY cuddly and affectionate.

They are messy. They literally p**p every few minutes. Everywhere. All day. Like a pez dispenser 💩💩💩💩.

When you get a dog from a breeder, you get it hoping to avoid health concerns by spending extra money on that animal. I don’t know any dogs that live to be 20+, do you? So why do you spend thousands on one and why do breeders charge so much? Because they’re a big commitment, and for good health.

Different dog breeds cost less/more. Just like dogs, chinchillas come in different colors. Some take longer to achieve or can’t be bred for. Extra dark ebony for example, I can’t guarantee I’ll make an extra dark ebony from pairings. I can’t make my mosaic have cool spots. Or all of them would have them.

Yes. Chinchillas are small, but they are mighty. They’re a large commitment with very specific needs.

They don’t belong in a pet store for impulse buying. Not only that, they’re kept in completely awful conditions in these stores and leaving sick to their new homes.

How do I know? Cause you guys post in the groups I help run. And we help you all take care of them and raise them back to health, and sometimes we help you put these animals to sleep because they’re so sick it is the most humane option.

I love every single chinchilla I own. I can tell you all their names and who they came from. I can tell you most of their ages and date of births.

Getting updates from my customers gives me the best feeling! So If you’re a customer please post updates below.

I love your babies like they’re my own before they leave my care, and I’m hoping you’ll love them the way I do too.

Please do not ask me to lower my price for you. Negotiating prices on animals is distasteful. They’re living, breathing animals.

Below is a photo I snapped of a recent chinchilla in a PetSmart near me. It was being treated for loose p**ps (probably Giardia) and his back is so hunched he looks like he’s a 15 year old chinnie who has been running on a small wheel for years.

It’s probably a 5-6 month old or less baby. Who knows where it came from or how old it really is. The white baby is my white ebony Sophie, born 1/11/21 my first litter this year. The first white ebony born here!

Some really good information!

19/08/2021

Extra Dark Ebony Male

This guy is super dark and full of energy! If you aren’t giving him scratch’s, be prepared for him to be bouncing off the walls! Good luck catching him!

19/08/2021

Medium Ebony and Standard Grey Male Pair

These two are adorable, but I’m especially fond of the Medium Ebony as he is so photogenic and just stands there like “go on! Take another!” He’s just so freaking cute! Neither mind being petted, but love to jump around the cage playing catch with each other.

01/07/2021

***These two went to a new home!***

Black velvet male (and Beige Male)

This little guy is full of himself. He’s gorgeous and he knows it! Will strike a pose, but only for an instant… then he’s running around till he strikes another pose! You def have to be quick with the camera! He definitely prefers not to stand still if given the opportunity, but loves to go for walks in your arms!

His ear is damaged, but it doesn’t effect him at all. He is currently caged with a beige male (also in the picture and a video in the comments) that can go with him.

29/06/2021

***Deposit Received***

Black Pearl Male

This little guy is a hand full and full of personality. He doesn’t like to be taken out of his cage, but will come out on his own. He’s shy at first, but spunky after he gets to know you. He enjoys scratches around his ears and down his jaw line and has the most adorable smile ever.

Black pearls are a relatively new mutation. They are more expensive then other mutations as they are not widely sold. Most of them are held back or sold to other breeders to help continue to improve the genetics of them.

Black pearls are known for having solid black from one side to the other with little to no grey shading on the sides. This creates a striking contrast against their white bellies.

If you are looking for a a unique chinchilla, here is your chance! There is a video in the comments.

19/05/2021

Spent the last two days getting everyone photographed! Cages are now clean and major dusting has been going on for weeks now!

If you are interested in something particular that you do not see, please feel free to contact me. I may have missed one or I will try to point you in the direction of someone who may have what you are looking for!

17/05/2021

Just some of them looking for new homes! I'm hoping to get the rest up tomorrow!
