Our priority is for my chins to find caring homes where they will receive the care they deserve. We ask that prospective adopters fill out a questionnaire so we can get an idea of their knowledge and dedication to the care of a chin. We are often able to deliver within a few hours from Las Vegas.
I require a $50 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit for chins over $50 or 50% of the chinchilla's price for chins $50 or less to be paid in cash, money order, or via Paypal in order to place a chinchilla on hold for two weeks or for a delivery. The remainder of the chinchilla's price must be paid prior to or upon pick-up or delivery. Animals must be picked up within 2 weeks of payment unless prior arrangements are made and deposits placed on kits will hold them for 2 weeks after their date of availability, post-weaning. If arrangements for pick-up are not made by two weeks past the available date, the chinchilla will be put up for sale.
All chins bred here have a fourteen (14) day health guarantee for illness or defects and we guarantee they are healthy when they leave Vegas Valley Chinchillas. Although we only breed healthy animals from lines free from genetic disorders, in the event your new chinchilla becomes ill or dies within the first fourteen (14) days, we offer a replacement animal as long as the animal is examined or necropsy is performed by a licensed veterinarian and a health certificate is signed by the veterinarian stating that the illness/death was caused by a genetic fault or negligence of Vegas Valley Chinchillas and not due to improper care by the owner. The health certificate or statement of death must be presented before or at the time the animal is returned. If you are a current chin owner, chins brought home must be quarantined for the entire 14 days (although we recommend a total 30 day quarantine) otherwise, the health guarantee is null and void. Replacements will not be offered due to injury or improper/unsafe environment provided by the new owner.
Chins which have been rescued and are being adopted out as pet-only are not to be bred. Many of these chins have had stressful lives to begin with, no background information or health histories, and it is my intention to make sure they find homes where they can leisurely live out their lives. Chins being sold without pedigrees are also to be considered pet quality and NOT to be bred. After completing the chin questionnaire, an adoption contract will also be filled out upon pickup of the animal for the adoption to be complete.
All chins come with a small bag of pellets to make the transition to a new diet less stressful. Pedigrees will be provided upon request to breeders registered with ECBC or MCBA as well as any show awards/ribbons the chin has previously won.
I reserve the right to cancel a sale up until the chin has been picked up or delivered. We do not offer refunds, but will offer replacement animals up to 14 days after the sale, under the discretion of Vegas Valley Chinchillas.
