Acquired as part of a family group consisting of Bob, Bonny, Mallow and Rose. All were in cramped quarters and needing some love and attention. I had originally gone to view them as they were listed as from show stock - and the quality of the fur suggests that they could well have been - but their recent treatment did not show up their quality to its best. The pictures above do not fully do justice to how well they look now - having been taken not long after their arrival.
Upon arrival at Green Wood, Barley and Mallow were separated into a cage of their own away from mum and dad and their younger sister.
Barley is an inquisitive chinchilla - he loves to know what's going on around him. He is not as eager as his brother to hop out the cage but certainly isn't slow in exploring once he does. He loves to be stroked and tends to go floppy when handled, He has a lovely oatmeal coat that starts darker at the head and gets paler as it moves towards the rump.
