We are sad to not have our partner in expo there but we will be there!

School's back in session, and I'm finally regaining my sanity (and hopefully my ability to read calendars properly)! 🎉

Now, let's get down to business... UPDATE: Good news, pet lovers! 🐾 You've got until SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th, 2026, to place orders that you would like to pick up at the Canadian Pet Expo (September 19/20, 2026)! Just choose 'pickup' at checkout, and voilà - no shipping fees! Orders can be picked up at the Canadian Chinchilla Rescue booth.

Just a reminder that I WILL NOT have all of my stock there - The Canadian Chinchilla Rescue will have a small, limited variety of items available, so if you're after something specific please order ahead.

I have apple wood available. Apple twigs are $30/pound (variety of sizes). This wood has been scrubbed, boiled and baked and is fully organic. I collected the wood myself.

Apple wood toys have gone through the same process.

Pick up in Mississauga or shipping at buyers expense. Comment or message with how many pounds you want or how many toys.

Edited: thank you so much!! The cage cost has been covered and with the extra I have put in an order for hay at Fresh Hay! Any extra will go to pellets and shavings! We are going through lots!!

With the recent addition of pregnant chins I have ordered new maternity cages from Sunny Meadows Cages. The new cages were $200 and should arrive soon. If anyone would like to donate to this you can PayPal or EMT [email protected]

Maternity cages are a must with kits because they can squeeze through bars and climb. The maternity cages will be 18” high and the bars are 1/2”.

Zoey and Lilo's Toy Box has always been a big supporter of CCR and we have teamed up to do a fundraiser. Raychel has a box which she is going to fill with donations and then send it along. You can either pick something from our wish list or email her and just donate a set amount. Even $2 if you have.

Wow today is 16 years of rescue. This year is off with a bang as we have many chins in care with babies on the way.

If you want to help us celebrate our most needed items are pellets! (Oxbow essentials) as well as Timothy Hay and shavings.

Curiosity will always be what breaks a chin. She may not be sure about me but she is curious. I like to take it slow with new arrivals.
