Relocation

Do you need to rehome your chinchilla?

I mån av plats försöker jag ta emot de chinchillor som är i akut behov av nytt hem. Jag gör detta kostnadsfritt, vilket innebär att du inte betalar för jag ska ta emot, oavsett skick på djuret. Jag hjälper till med transport så gott jag kan, och tipsar även om att du själv kan söka transporthjälp i t ex Djurtransporthjälpen på Facebook.

Information I need from you

Jag föredrar naturligtvis att du är så ärlig som möjligt och berättar om chinchillans bakgrund. Det handlar inte om att döma dig, utan om att jag ska kunna ge chinchillan rätt vård och eventuellt hitta rätt nytt hem. Berätta gärna:

  • Why you need to rehome the chinchilla
  • How the chinchilla has lived with you and how long you have owned it
  • All conceivable information about the chinchilla's origin (breeder, pet store, previous home)
  • If the chinchilla has moved around a lot between different homes
  • If the chinchilla is shy, aggressive, or might have dental problems
  • If the chinchilla needs to live alone

If I don't have the space myself but want to help find a home with someone else, does the new recipient need the same information?.

If I take back a chinchilla I previously sold

I mån av plats tar jag även tillbaka de chinchillor jag tidigare sålt om behov finns. Jag köper inte tillbaka några djur, whether you have owned the animal for a month or a year.
The reason is simple: it costs me time, space, and money to receive or take back chinchillas. Nor can I sell my own bred animals at normal price after they have come back, but instead a rehoming fee applies – since I cannot guarantee how the animal has been cared for while living elsewhere.

That is how things are done here

  1. The chinchilla is getting a fungal treatment (bathing sand with sulfur powder and Pevaryl)
  2. I am performing an external health check to detect signs of injury or illness that require veterinary care. The chinchilla is weighed and placed on a simple hay diet for the first few days (exceptions are made if the chinchilla is underweight)
  3. The chinchilla is placed in quarantine and kept under observation for the first few weeks
  4. If the chinchilla lacks a known background, pedigree, or other papers, it is registered as a PET in the CAS association and receives a registration certificate where sex, color, approximate age, and other information are listed (previous owners are not listed).
  5. If the chinchilla is assessed to be in good condition, it can be taken to an exhibition for further evaluation.
  6. Chinchillan får stanna här så länge den behöver. Bedömer jag att den skulle må bättre i ett sällskapshem, omplaceras den.

Buying a rescue pet from me

Rehoming fee: 500 SEK
Applies regardless of known background or not – even chinchillas from my own breeding that have moved back after a time in another home. The fee exists because I cannot guarantee that the chinchilla has received proper care or diet while it has been away, and therefore cannot guarantee the new home that it will not develop dental problems or other issues.

Requirements for adopting a rehomed pet

  • The purchase agreement must be signed by an adult
  • You are over 18 years old
  • You should have previous experience taking care of rescues, and be well-informed about behavior, diseases, and ailments.
  • You must be prepared to keep the chinchilla for the rest of its life. Otherwise, the chinchilla must be returned here, unless otherwise agreed between you and me (a clear plan must be in place)
  • Chinchillan får inte avlas på
