Caitlin's Chinchillas-Chinchilla Information Caitlin's Chinchillas Providing you with useful chinchilla information, and beautiful, healthy, home raised pet chinchillas. My name is Caitlin. I live in Northern California and I have been breeding chinchillas as pets for over 5 years. I currently have 16 of my own happy, healthy pet chinchillas in a beautiful array of colors. I started out with just one, but it wasn't long before I became addicted.
Chinchillas make great pets for many reasons.
They are cute, soft, furry and fun, and they are relatively easy and inexpensive to care for. Chinchillas have an average life span of 15 years in captivity and can even live up to 20 years. Another great bonus is that they don't have a lot of dander like cats, dogs, and many other animals, so many people with allergies can have chinchillas as pets. Most of all, I hope you'll have fun, relax and. . .
