So I promise chins will never get to play outside ever again.
Everyone is now separated.
The first pair came from being in line, for hay, with a woman who has a cheating *** of a husband and she was pissed off that the local SPCA was closed as he left his favorite pair behind and they were in the car and she didn't know what to do.
My partner knows I've always wanted one so we took them home, they were together in a 2x2. 5 foot cage, apparently for the last 2 months, so I let them have a run and a bath in a playpen outside while we set up separate, larger cages.
Scruffy came from a woman a coworker knew, the woman got a chinchilla when she knew she was leaving the country in 1-3 years, didn't think of finding her a home until the week of leaving the country.
She was planning on just dropping her off at the SPCA, now I love the SPCA but my local one isn't great with exotics, what's one more?
The last pair I didn't want but I felt sorry for, I keep an eye out for cages and stuff on my local creigslist, a seller who I contacted about a cage asked me if I would take the pair as she got them only to find out she has to move to another province. "Just take them or let them go in a feild", someone said that about that lovely grey.
Thank you for the help on their colors, you will see me around here or just chinchillas, a picture of the cage they have is there, *this forum and its 5pic limit*.
My local SPCA does what it can for cats and dogs, unfortunately unless another rescue takes in the exotic to foster they don't last. I've always wanted a chinchilla I really lucked out on the ones I found, I have them all on oxbow and my hay supplier is wonderful.
I finally found a herb store with rosehips in stock, still need to get one or more of those cool chin spinners.
