Alert .........Major Chinchilla Rescue

We are in serious need for your help. Have you been thinking about getting a chinchilla as a family pet? Maybe a Christmas present for your kids or even for yourself?

Twitch Chinchillas has just teamed up with Janie Johnson of Chintasia on a major rescue effort to save 300+ chinchillas!!!

A fur farm here in Texas is closing it's doors and needs to move their entire herd of chinchillas. These are the most beautiful SHOW quality standard grey chinchillas I have ever seen. This farm has been breeding chinchillas for the fur market since the 1930's and is retiring for good. He has a huge herd of over 300 chinchillas INCLUDING BRAND NEW BABIES that were just born. He has won several chinchilla shows for the quality of these anconsideredp; If we can not find homes for all of the wonderful animals they will be killed for their pelt this February. We only have a few months to purchase all of them.

If you have EVER concidered getting a chinchilla for your family, please help us out. We have made it our goal to place ever chinchilla so none will the slaughtered. We have allready purchased 2 of these beautiful chinchillas. Sampson and Delilah. If you are not looking for a chinchilla but would still like to help out, we are asking for any sized donation to help us buy them all up. We will then give the chins bought with your money to local schools. If you would like to see Sampson & Delilah please visit http://www.geocities.com/vaughn3951/rescues.html

Prices:
3-6 months.....$85.00
6-9 months.....$75.00
10-12 months.....$65.00
1 year and older.....$50.00
*** Please note the older chinchillas will be killed first. No chinchillas are over 3 years old.

If you have any questions or would like more info, please email or call me @ (940)380-8871 We need the money for your chinchilla ASAP so we can get them out of there, but I will hold any chins that you want to give as Christmas gift here at my house until Christmas Eve. You can come as late as you need the night of Dec 24th so your little ones can wake up to a great Santa gift. I also have some used cages that I will sell with them. A complete package will be $150.00 wich includes, one chinchillas any age, a cage, all cage accessories, and one month supply of food and hay. If you can purchase more than one chinchilla, the price will go down. Please call for a quote.

Thank you so much for all your help

Hi! Do you ship? I'm located in Singapore and I'm interested in the young ones (3-6 months?) We may buy in large quantity (10 or more) if the chins are of good grades. We are not in the pelt industry but rather, very crazy chins owners.

You have to go to the rescue section. There are still like 150 chinchillas that need to be rescued. Email Audie and she will give you all the information she can. Her email is Twitch_chinchillas@hotmail.com. Sorry I cannot help you anymore than this. Thank you.

How hard is it on the chins to be sent? We're in MN & I suppose since everyone wants babies I'd tend towards older ones & might be able to keep a few & place a few. someone mentioned as school pets - would they be good temperament for a classroom? I don't know anything about chins. >>>Are these tame or need to be tamed? <<<<< >>>Are males or females better pets? <<<We'd prob want all the same gender, wouldn't we? there seem to be plenty of homeless pets without creating more.

I am sorry no one has updated this post in months, but all of these rescues have found homes. If you are still interested in reading stories or seeing pics you can visit twitchchinchillas.com/2001rescuemain.html

We are currently looking for other fur farms going out of business due to the declining American economy so we will repost if anything comes up.

Thanks to everyone for all your support.

I am very glad the chins found homes!! And I hope more fur farms go out of business, not because of the economy, but because of people seeing animal fur for what it is - cruelty. And, of course, we all know, "fur is dead."

Thats because this thread is super old from 9/01. The poster already came back and said all the chins had found homes.
