Chinchilla indeed will attract you with their cute and tame nature especially if you had hold them before. You will be even suprise you never touch such great soft fur before right?
RM 980 is very commond, but you must also know how to discern is that chinchilla quality is FOR RM980.

The chin will be very easy to get fungus, fur will look oily, matted fur, very thin fur and skinny mostly. I always suggest people who not rare their chin in air condition MUST have dust bath 3 times each week. I also advice to check the position you place you chin is it overly warm. 29c below can be tolerate but don't expect you will hv a fluffy chin.

Beside that you need dry place, not humid. If chinchilla place without air conditional in our climate, it won,t be able to avoid the humidity we have unless in AC room. So dust bath is a must on 3 times a week without AC.

Check with your nearest pet shop(those BIG one), ask them. Or from me, but I dont have babies chin for sale now...

I will suggest you read this-->www.chincare.com so you know what chinchilla need is before you get them home... so reduce lot of stress for you and your pet.

Great! You must be very in love with their chins, He got about 100 chins.(not included those sold)

Personally I won't let them get close to any other animal, cause Chinchilla is rodent, and is prey, so any others animals will definately begin a threat to them. I also see people put their chin play with dog and CAT... I dont think it is right thing to do.

You are late... sale just closed....

Just pay more visit here or on the adpost, I can't really tell when is the next sale open... Proper should be after March/April.

Thanks!

Thanks!

That auntie is talking non sence, no matter is the chinchilla from anyway of the world, they are still cold climate animal, with local breeder(i hope there is) or not, chinchilla still prefer cold weather. Non air-con condition/too warm(especially SHOP LOT), chin will look skinny and greasy matted fur, cause it force the body to loose fur to keep cold. SO, if a chinchilla no much of fur, what a Chinchilla for? In worst pet shop condition, chin under light/ direct sunlight will be eventually die, if you can pls give that stupid shop a call and tell them remove the light/re position the chin and keep in air con, pet shop no air con, those not call pet shop, those call Prison for animal.

We all know how our local pet shop standard is, I no need to evaluate more.

Every shop that I been to who have chin for sale, everytime I know the animal going to sufffer. So far I only know Pet wonderland is REALLY Keep chin and other small animal in 'Ok" condition to meet all their basic need, others, is worst and poor. I encounter some shop that chin begin handle with lack of knowledge, business minded, and 'DONT CARE' attitude, I confront them immediately, if worst, I report SPCA untill they pay a visit to that shop.(that's least I can do).

Added on January 14, 2008, 10:43 amDepend on colour, quality. You need have basic discernment to judge the chinchilla weather it is good, ok, poor, or exreame poor quality to buy a chin. Most of the pet shop is selling chin just as they do to any other animal, some more pet shop usually only familiar/expert in dog and cat, they dont know how to judge a healthy chin or what, they get from who ever sell to them. I saw ppl selling chin with serious fungus attack the chin, poor greacy coat, SKINNY and hunch! TO learn more how to judge you need to see more photo to get some ideal, see, see, see. That's the way.

Added on January 14, 2008, 10:44 amBeside dog and cat, I don't know what else they can study some basic knowledge for each animal.

---

Added on January 14, 2008, 10:49 amAgreed. Huskies is SUPPOSE to be in SNOW/Winter climate, can't believe there are here. Air con can only provide min 16c, can't go lower to 5c. Chinchilla can survive and in the range of 25c-29c without direct sunlight and heat. Above this temperature they will be in extreme suffering, they wont tell, you can see from their ear and they moving partern, can't sleep well or wont move at all till temp drop/waiting to die...

There is no LOCAL BREEDER/BREED that can change the Original Creation.

Hi,
Currently i dont have any baby chin for sale. I am wondering how your AUSSIE(Australia) cousin in australia can have one, cause Chinchilla is illegal in Australia.

I would suggest beside financially you are welling to pay, you need to do some basic research what is Chinchilla. Chinchilla is very easy to care, but you can't apply the feeding hamster, rat or other 'Malaysia culture practise' method to chinchilla. Simple basic knowlegde will be good enough for you to start with.

2 chin depends on colour, can be RM1000, or RM3000. Cage from RM200-RM500(including some basic acceseries, bowl, water bottle etc.

If you are not having income by yourself and still depend on your parent, I doubt you can have pet that need special food and care. (even those some people can.)

Like dog, cat, small animals, all of it require certain amount of money to purchase the animal it self, to maintain(depend on how far you want to go beside basic need), VET BILL, one time cage and others accesseries.

If you still depend completely on parent to support you financially, I doubt that when your pet sick, you are not able to give immediate medical attention which involve money.

On my side, they is no cheap pet/animal to sell. But I do know there is low quality animal to sell from pet shop or direct owner.

Maybe you can get a pair of hamster or guinea pig which have lower purchase price value, so you can easily take care of them even tho when they need vet or other special need.

It really show you haven't do your research enough on chinchilla.
