As most chinchilla owners know, there is a plethora of incorrect and often dangerous information about chinchillas found in books and pet stores. With this in mind, The CHINformation Organization was created. Through years of experience in owning and breeding chinchillas as well as gathering information from respected ranchers and other long-term breeders, we have devised a means of sharing safe information regarding chinchillas, whether just pets or animals used for breeding. The information contained within The CHINformation Organization may change as more is learned about these exotic animals and additional information is constantly being added. The CHINformation Organization strives to never remain stagnant so that chinchillas can forever be given the best possible care. By clicking on the links above, you can find information on things to consider before you purchase your first chinchilla or a buddy for your existing chinchilla, the approximate costs involved in owning a chinchilla, an example schedule for chinchilla care, and even fun puzzles and games focusing on chinchillas. You will find state by state lists of chinchilla experienced veterinarians, rescue volunteers, and people who are willing to help transport chinchillas to avoid the expenses involved in shipping. Additionally, there is a forum organized to provide you with the answers to almost any question you could possibly have about chinchillas and the ability to ask questions if you don't find the answers you're looking for!
