My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Standard grey male chinchilla -- "Chico"
--furchewer--
Born 2013 or earlier -- 11+ years old

**Chico can go to his new home with his decked out Double Critter Nation Cage (pictured) for an additional fee. If interested in Chico+his-cage-bundle, we will also throw in some additional ledges & goodies. Inquire for more info.**

**Chico takes awhile to settle into his new home, and has absolutely no issues with being intimidating, barking, and occasionally lunging at anyone in his space. He has never bitten, but he can definitely be intimidating. This boy is not appropriate for a home with children any younger than brave teenagers (if not all adults). Chico would likely do best in an adult-only hold that doesn't stress him out too much (we wouldn't suggest pairing him). He's already a fur-chewer when being left alone to his own devices, so let's not add to his stress!**

**Chico enjoys the occasional goji berry, hawthorn berries, and rosehips (which can be given much more frequently) and will snatch them right out of your hand!**

Not too difficult to pick up, assuming you are smarter than a 1-pound-ball-of-fluff-that's-acting-initimdating
Actually pretty sweet when you're holding him (you just gotta ignore the "before" behavior)
Will chill with you for short periods of time
Does enjoy scratches behind the ears!

Adoption fee -- $100 CASH / $110 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT (not including cage)
