You are welcome to contact me at chinpoo@sunsetchinchillas.com or call/text (318) 405-1163 to set up a time to visit and pick up a chinchilla. All of my baby chinchillas are played with daily though they are still very energetic and wiggly.
*Due to covid and very prolific Strep A/bacterial bronchitis I am meeting people outside. If you want a chinchilla, let me know which one and I will do my best to describe him/her to you. I am not allowing people to handle them then hand them back and leave - chinchillas can get the respiratory part of covid and bacterial infections just like any other mammal and I do not want to infect myself or the rest of my pets.
Due to the intense Texas heat please understand that I may rush you to put the chin (especially babies) directly into your vehicle so they can stay cool. I am happy to stand and chat as long as you like but they need to stay below 75 degrees.
Thank you for your understanding.
Current payment methods are Cash (preferred), Apple Pay or Zelle. If you choose to pay as services and goods I am required to charge applicable sales tax of 8.25%.
I will hold a chinchilla for 7 days with a non-refundable deposit of $50. This counts towards the total purchase price. After 7 days the chinchilla will be made available on the website again.
I do work full time so please be patient. This is a hobby I greatly enjoy at my home, not a business.
All chins must be picked up in person or you can arrange a transporter. Examples of the transporters people use are USHIP Pets and Citizen Shipper. It is up to the buyer to arrange and pay for these services, previous customers have been quoted $20-$400 depending on distance.
Once you find a transporter you can ask if they provide carriers - many do. You can also have one shipped to me, please include a water bottle if the chinchilla will be on the transport more than 12 hours. The transporters usually contact me to schedule a pickup time and we will go from there. Carriers need to be hard sided cat carriers, or if it is more than a 3 day trip they MUST BE ALL METAL. Chinchillas eat plastic and when they get bored and on long trips they chew right through those carriers. bassequipment.com Makes metal carriers. Any small wire cage with wire spacing 1" x 1" or less is acceptable.
* I can with 99% certainty ID via photo any chinchilla I have ever produced. Over time and generations the herd is shaped to characteristics I find appealing, especially in the head, the ears size/shape, width between the ears and eyes, color/hue etc. It becomes so uniform within a breeder's herd we can go to a show of 500 animals and point and say "That's a Mark Miller chinchilla" or "That's a Sunset Chinchillas animal" because we've unconsciously done this over so many decades. So while said chinchilla may not be from me there is a chance I can tell you where it is from, this includes pet store chins. The last two years most pet store animals have been supplied from the Czech Republic fur farms and have a very distinct look. When you produce pelts all animals -literally- need to look the same, and those do!
What determines a chinchilla's price?
It comes down to how keen I am on the chinchilla leaving. Sometimes they start high and drop in price if they aren't turning out nice enough to show. Sometimes they turn out so nice I decide to keep them.
-Show Quality
-Have they escaped and/or let others out recently
-Gender - chinchillas always produce more boys than girls so I almost always have a lot of boys for sale.
