How many chinchillas have you rescued over your time ? One-hundred and four chinchillas have passed through the rescue doors over the last five years .
Out of those , how many have you kept as forever pets / rescue fails ? We have had 27 chins who have lived out their days at the rescue – some of these chins had serious health issues , such as malocclusion , that lead to them needing to be euthanised , or had health issues that unexpectedly reduced their life expectancy . We ’ ve lost a chinchilla to liver cancer , two to strokes , and some more to heart problems . We ’ ve also had elderly chinchillas who have lived out their last years with us . We have had chinchillas returned to us on a couple of occasions due to unexpected lifestyle changes and the like , but in all of those instances the chinchillas were readopted not long after .
What has been your biggest struggle owning a rescue ? Time and money . Running a rescue for exotic animals is not cheap . In addition to running the Little Chintas shop , I also work full-time , which doesn ’ t leave a lot of time for the fun side of having sometimes dozens of fuzzy chinchillas occupying a room ( sometimes more ) of your house . The poop is also a lot to handle !
How can people help with the work you do ? The number one thing we need is homes for our rescue chinnies . Homes where people realise our chinchillas aren ’ t perfect – sometimes they have even more special requirements than your average chinchilla . We ’ ve had chinchillas that needed to be kept solo , or needed a small cage rather than a big one due to heart problems . We often have chinchillas that don ’ t look as pretty as you ’ d expect due to fur chewing , or that require special
additions to their diet due to health complications like seizures . People can also donate supplies – the Little Chintas website has a category where people can purchase treats or toy packs to be donated on their behalf to the chinchillas . The chinchillas always have the basics – food , water , hay , and wood for chewing – but extras every now and then are much appreciated by the chinchillas , particularly toys with different textures and extra treats . They are too expensive to be a regular occurrence when you have a couple of dozen chinchillas , but the chins really love them .
