My name is <b>Ladybug/Foster</b> and I
am a very special chinchilla! In January
of 2007, when I was just a little baby,
I was left behind in my cage by my
owners when they moved. Animal Control
brought me to the shelter and a foster
came and picked me up so she could care
for me in her home.<br>
<br>
When she arrived at the shelter she
noticed that I had no tail! The shelter
did not know what had happened. Of
course, I was immediately taken by my
new foster mom to the vet. By lucky
coincidence, the vet knew me because my
previous owner had brought me in
repeatedly to treat a problem I had:
constantly gnawing at my own tail! This
behavior caused the tail to be infected
and twice this vet had to amputate
sections until I was left with just a
little stump. The vet suggested I be
euthanized. I was underweight and had an
infection at the stump again. I couldn’t
help it, I gnawed it constantly. <br>
<br>
Food and meds had to be given orally
from a syringe several times a day. At
first, I gave quite a fight about being
caught and handled, and I was not really
interested in eating. <br>
<br>
The vet and my foster mom suspected that
my previous environment caused me to do
the gnawing. They suspected it was
noisy, chaotic or otherwise overly
stressful and this was my dysfunctional
coping mechanism. Accordingly, I was now
kept in a very quiet room, with few
visitors except my foster mom, and most
of my cage covered with towels to dampen
noise and light. I flourished! The
gnawing stopped, I gained weight and the
infection cleared. To help me regain
trust in humans, after I was better, I
had free run of the bedroom for months
because they thought I probably had bad
memories of my cage too. <br>
<br>
Fast forward to now, I am back in my
cage and completely fine. You really
don't even notice I am missing a tail. I
am curious and happy. Chinchillas need
time out of their cages regularly, some
sources say daily, some say weekly. I am
a rodent so you need a safe place to let
me out where I won't chew on electrical
cords, or otherwise get myself into
trouble. <br>
<br>
A bit about chinchillas as pets: they
are not like cats or dogs, cuddly and
“lap” companions. They are friendly,
though, and love people and attention.
They are little acrobats and will run
around like crazy out of their cages,
jumping and springing! Their
requirements are few: food is mostly
fresh hay and hay pellets with
occasional dried fruit or oats as a
treat, fresh water, a small box or
something as a nest, and dust. You buy
the dust, it is just for chinchillas and
we need it to stay healthy. Being
rodents, our front tooth grows
continuously so you have to always
provide things for us to chew on that
will wear it down. I love pumice blocks,
twigs from apple trees that have not
been sprayed, cardboard and white cuttle
stones like the ones that you put in
bird cages. My favorite is pumice
stones. You buy them as 2” blocks and I
whittle it down to the size of a marble!
<br>
<br>
Our cages do not get stinky. In terms of
cages and cleaning, we require less
maintenance than a rabbit, guinea pig or
hamster/gerbil. <br>
<br>
I require a fairly cool room temperature
because of my fabulous thick fur.
Anything over 80 degrees or so and it is
too hot for me!<br>
<br>
I will do best in a fairly calm
environment without children under the
age of 12. An environment with loud
music, television or games would not be
best for me.<br>
<br>
At my foster mom’s there are also cats
and dogs, but I am up off the floor so
the other pets don’t bother me. I have a
spot in a quiet back room in front of a
window with a nice view. I cannot be let
out of my cage with cats or dogs around
– they would see me as prey and try to
hurt me. To adopt her, contact her

This is <b>Petey/Foster</b> and he is a

rabbit. He is a rabbit that needs
special attention due to his behavior
issues and will nip . I have been
working with him to get him used to
being picked up and petted. I think he
was horribly abused by his previous
owners and that is why he is just trying
to protect himself. Petey needs a
good loving home with a person that has
time to give him the special attention
so that he can feel more comfortable
around people. He weighs about 2 lbs.
and his full of energy since he is still
a young bunny. He has been able to be
