That is so sad. Chinchillas always look so cute and fluffy. If I wasn't poor/also in rented accom I would totally want them!!!

Maybe advertise in your local paper and just by doing a google search I found some websites such as clickpets.co.uk and 123pets.co.uk.

Maybe you could put a poster up in your local vets.

They're sooooooooooo cute. Seriously if I knew how to look after chinchillas I would love some. (I've heard they're kinda not that low maintenance with the sand and being noctournal and stuff, but if I was gunna get some I'd obv do my research.)

I reckon people look at supermarket notice boards (my Mum does anyway ha ha.) Could also see if the local newsagent has a notice board in the window. Libraries usually do too.

Maybe you should like devise a little test for whoever decides to buy them so you know they're prepared and that they're gunna go to a good home.

Or could you not maybe see if a local pet store would either take them or pass you onto a good breeder?
I read that as 'I have two children for sale where can I advertise?'

:sigh:

yeah they can take a lot of time to get use to their habits and what they need but once you have a routine they are fine. i think i'll print up a few ads tomorrow and have a drive and put it in local shops / newsagents / libraries / vets. Bristol is quite big so pets at home seem to have driven out all our little pet shops, which is a shame =[

Hope you find them a good home.

thanks, seeing as how big bristol is theres hardly any pet shops left =[
yeah i hope so to.
i've found a few dedicated chinchillas forums and the such and posted on there but most members seem either up north, or only interested in show / breeding chinchillas.
