Terribly sad to think that animals have to be relocated for man's greed..
They cry about it costing millions but what about the poor animals having to relocate from where they have lived for 1000s of generations..And might loose their life (an already endangered species)..
When are ppl and will ppl ever reach, enough is enough..
I am all about change, but change that is for a better future for all involved not just for one sides greed..

After millions of dollars and several years, a rare success has been achieved in one of the strangest and most scrutinised animal relocation projects in history.

Sharing this very important info..

PLEASE do not get an opposite gender for your chin just because it's lonely..
This is considered backyard breeding because there is no info on your chins linage..

If you want to breed, then please do it correctly by buying from a reputable breeder with good quality and proven lines..So as to not breed incorrect chins with all sorts of issues that will end up in euthanasia due to the poor animal suffering from defects that could have been prevented if you did the right thing and educated yourself better on ethical breeding..

It is such a vast subject, but a true genuine breeder would make a careful assessment on your attentions and then help you into the right direction and keep helping you along your breeding journey, not just sell chins to you and let you go your merry way.. That in my sight is not an ethical breeder..You are responsible for the generation of chins either bred from you or to those you sell to..

So please do not take breeding lightly, do it because you have a passion to better the quality of life for chins as well as bettering the overall quality in a whole..

Then secondly, if your chin is lonely, please get in contact with a breeder and follow the correct steps in the bonding process, as it can be a very stressful and dangerous process if not done correctly.

If you need any help with this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, as we will help you along this journey. And you need to be prepared especially with males that there is a chance it might not work out, and either need a second cage to keep them separately next to each other till they have bonded, or look at neutering them..
Unfortunately males do have high levels of testosterone and territorial tendancies..

So please reach out to some who knows what they are doing to help you in this process..

Blessings, SA Chinchillas..

Reposting because it's necessary. 🍼

Do not ADOPT animals to breed.
Do not place them in breeding situations.

Animals purchased from petstores or adopted from rescues are not supposed to be bred, you don't know what their genetic history is.

If you own a male, adopt or purchase another male.
If you own a female, adopt or purchase another female.

They don't need " boyfriends " or " girlfriends ".

If they want a companion, a same s*x companion will do.
