Chinchilla Buddies Adoption Shelter
Application for Adoption
Never expect a child to be fully responsible for caring for a pet. Pets are a learning experience and need a responsible parent or adult to supervise and teach a young person. This is a family project to learn, love and respect together.
Chinchillas are very smart and are also nocturnal. They should not be kept in a bedroom. They are social and need to be part of the family so they should be near a main living space so they will be visited regularly.
Most shelter animals are adult, some are very tame others will need patience while learning to trust and love you.
Chinchillas are from South America up in the mountains. They can jump over 3 feet and have several traction pads on their feet to help them get traction. They are very fast and love to be active. This is one of their special traits that make them so fun.
Chinchillas are up in the early morning but need their sleep during the day. You cannot change their sleep habits but they will adjust to your am and early evening schedule. Chinchillas will be awake in the eve about 5-7pm and very active throughout the eve. They need to be fed in the evening since they are awake during this time.
