Greenwood Chinchillas

Our Chinchillas

At Greenwood Chinchillas, our chins aren't just our breeding stock.  There are some that started off as my personal pets, some bought in specifically for breeding, some of which are not used for breeding at all due to their low quality or genetic problems, and some rescues simply waiting here until new homes can be found - but all are treated the same way as the original pets that remain here.

All chins that are bred from, or the kits we sell, have been checked to ensure as far as possible, that no genetic or teething problems are present in the animal itself or its parents.  All kits sold are sent to their new home with a bag of their current pellets, hay and a printed pedigree.  Pedigrees can range from one generation to five generations - each one showing where known the best award it has received, the colour, DOB and pet name of the animal as well as its breeders code.

We don't allow our females to have more than one litter a year - its dangerous to them and the kits produced are likely to be weak and sickly.

Every one of our chins lives in the family home, not out in a breeding shed with little company, and all except new mothers still receive regular exercise runs up and down the hallway!  All the chins are cared for and treated as pets - the babies they produce being a pleasant extra to keeping a fascinating and interesting pet.

Naming animals has never been easy - so all the chins we have bought in unnamed or bred ourselves have been called after plants! Makes thinking of new names easier - but also more difficult sometimes to make it fit the personality of the animal!

Our aim is to show all kits before a decision is made on rehoming, some of these animals may be available in the future.

 

Some of the chins on this list, have come in as rescues, so stay only a few weeks to ensure they have no obvious problems, others long enough to have kits or veterinary attention. These animals do not have a full history, so therefore would not be recommended for future breeding from but would make ideal pets.  - contact us for details of the rescues currently awaiting new homes

 

Most of the kits that we produce are for sale due to limited space at home for more cages.  Therefore we reluctantly do have to part with them.  For more details see our For Sale page or contact us.
