Chinchilla Amore

Chinchilla Amore We're a small pet & prize winning show quality breeder of chinchillas. Member of ECBC & MCBA We are Chinchillas Amore ! We handle our chin babies every day.

We are a small ranch located in Orangevale, California (right outside of Sacramento). We have many wonderful pets including our Chinchillas. This is my hobby with a focused on chinchilla care, education and to breed pedigreed show quality chinchillas that will make great pets! Our chins are use to all sorts of different noises of a busy family of 5 with several musicians, noisy teens, daily vacuu

ming and a yappy but happy Pomeranian. So our kits hear all this in utero and why we feel our chins don't seems to get stressed as easily like chins typically do. Making these exceptional pets. Our chins come from pedigreed bloodlines from only reputable breeders. I do take in rescues and surrenders. These are never to be bred and we spend a lot of time socializing and caring for them. I'm not a 501c. So all care and veterinary needs comes out of pocket. I love all chinchillas and feel all reputable breeders should give back to do their part for chinchillas in need. My family with help from several foster families rehabilitate and socialize many each year. We've been very successful placing most into good new homes typically within 6 months or less. Any with severe behavioral or health issues are always welcome to live their lives out at our home and be spoiled. Our oldest Chinchilla's Birthdate is March 23, 1994. We treasure him and he's still in excellent health. I am a proud member of Empress Chinchilla Breeders Cooperative. www.chinchillaamore.com

A fun read on a study about the size cage chinchillas prefer and why. I often see chinchilla owners get massive cages. Which can be dangerous. Especially if there's areas a chinchilla could drop far if they lose their footing. This can cause damage to their teeth or jaw, which then can cause maloclusion, or they can break a leg or neck. Chinchillas can live happily and feel more secure in smaller habitats.

The authors investigated what size cage adult chinchillas preferred when given a free choice. Compared to the cages traditionally used in chinchilla farms, the tested cages had a larger floor area, higher height, or both. It was found that the ...
