Hey guys, I would like to ask, do you guys happen to know where I can I get a Chinchilla in Malaysia? Around KL or PJ are would be fine. And usually how much would it cost to purchase a Chinchilla? Thanks in advance peeps!!

Depend on the breed/gen of the chin. Can range from 400g-1200g. But mostly will be 400g-800g. I knew some locally pet owner inbreed their chin, it will get even smaller size. For example a baby of 1-3 month usually is 1month=100g+, 2month=200g+, 3months=300g+ is a MUST, if the babies is drop below the line, the is 2 reason, 1. not well care for mother and babies, 2. inbreed.

Not to praise my self, i have 2 month baby chin is 300g+.

My chins range from 500g-900g.

Here is some photos for to share.










About the 1U pet shop, I believe Pet wonderland already is not there, the BALANCE of pet shop is WORST and irresponsible pet shop i ever visit. The chin is suffering with fur chewing, dirty unchange AND REUSE BEDDING for the same cage over and over again by just filter away the poo, PLUS INBREED chinchilla.They is 1 rabbit with skin disease(NO FUR on whole body) with NO TREATMENT GIVEN. I visit once 1 yr ago and never visit that moron shop anymore. OF CAUSE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY TO SPCA ON THAT TIME. I even talk politely to the shop owner, and the shop owner speak so rudely, I end the conversation go for SPCA. (SPCA just make 1 visit that's all )

If you already have a heart for chinchilla, I will suggest you in the progress of your searching for a chin, you should do more research about caring of chin on the internet. Is very easy thing.

sorry bout it...

RM500 for one chinchila.. ?

RM500? I dont think you can get even a DISCERN standard gray. The price depend on quality and color of the chin it self.

Hello all I am back! yeppy and i got my chin like 2 weeks ago. Its a standard grey male named Neo(wanted to name it Hubert Von Marshmallow Doofernshimrtz[Don't ask...haha !!]) He settled down quite fast and kinda likes my guitar. Helps sometimes. His cage is 3 stories and here are some pictures.(how to put words on the pictures)

Hubert Von Marshmallow Doofernshimrtz - panjangnye nama!!

Lol... could not decide the name and i was kinda hyper after eating a whole packet of 18 dragees....phineas and ferb was on the TV too

Your is Chinchilla lanigera breed, is have sharp pointed nose and face and smaller size. You should get Chinchilla brevicaudata will be more round face, rounded ears,short neck, blocky, and great fur.

This type is brevicaudata

the place i saw the chin is at EUNOS there they have a few of Chin there

Wahhh I also saw a few chins at ENEOS 1 Utama.. but too bad they say the chins are not for sale.. Waiting for them to give birth woh..

btw, I am looking for chinchillas all around KL, I even phoned to those pet shops but they do not sell chins..

Dissapointing loh..

Anyone who have any chins for sale, please kindly contact me via PM or hP - 016-9876823
Thanks

hi andy,
Yes, is difficult to get chin at this moment. And you read my thread about the ENEOS shop about chin, you still thinking want to get from them? That's is bad bad bad decision, I wish you not regret later.
I believe you are just found out about Chinchilla for pet, seem still hv some time to search for chinchilla, why dont you do more reading and study on care of chinchilla on the internet? google 'Care chinchilla', you hv hundreds of site to read about. I believe after you reading it, you wont go to that ENEOS shop to purchase chinchilla OR ANY ANIMALS!

is the type you mentioned more tame? just asking haha!!

Tame doest related to breed, but character of that chin. EACH chin difference.
