Azure Chinchillas, based in Hampshire, is a small hobby set-up specialising in breeding quality Violet Chinchillas. The aim of the Azure Chinchillas website is to provide advice on chinchilla care; housing chinchillas (suitable chinchilla cages, environmental enrichment), feeding chinchillas (diet and nutrition), advice on breeding chinchillas (pairing up, looking after chinchilla kits, handfeeding), chinchilla health and a list of chinchilla illnesses (detailing easy-to-spot symptoms), showing chinchillas and occasionally we have chinchillas for sale too.
I hope that all chinchilla owners - (experienced chinchilla breeders or those new to chinchillas) - will be able to easily and simply navigate around this site, accessing some useful information (all rights reserved), which is based on my own practical experiences in keeping these intelligent and amusing rodents as well as my own research!!
You will also find chinchillas for sale as well as my acclaimed chinchilla herd mix, which can be ordered through the Azure Chinchillas E-shop.
I have been a member of The National Chinchilla Society from 1996-2010 and have enjoyed success with my chinchillas on the show bench. Please note: I do not support or have anything to do with the fur-industry. I have also had my articles on chinchilla husbandry published in Fur & Feather Magazine.
I have several of my original pets, now into their early twenties in some cases, living in comfortable retirement and some ex-rescues also enjoying a safe and secure life, never to be sold!
All my chinchillas enjoy cages furnished with ledges and sleeping pads, plenty of toys to ensure that they do not become bored, and the best possible diet. Their unit has plenty of natural light and ventilation and is fully equipped with air-conditioning and dehumidification, essential for our damp English climate.
I have learned much in the 20 years I have been keeping chinchillas, but you never stop learning!! I hope to be able to share some of my ongoing knowledge via this website, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
Azure Chinchillas will be attending The London Pet Show with CHINformative on the 7-8th May at Olympia.
