Our pet chinchillas

Dumpy & Robyn

Dumpy and Robyn are two mature standard greys living together. Dumpy was born 1st January 1990 and was Albatross Chinchillas' first chinchilla. Robyn was born 2nd June 1990. Their ages are way beyond the 8-10 years normally cited as an average pet chinchilla lifespan.

The claim for the current oldest chinchilla is for an animal born in 1984 - can you beat it ?

Rocky and Maple

Rocky and Maple are two mature standard greys living together, and still of breeding capability. Rocky was born 14th October 1995, and Maple was born 7th June 1995.

Their last baby "a real devil" was born 06/06/06 and has been named Damia for obvious reasons.

Jazz

Jazz is a non-breeding black velvet female (due to being a fur-chewer), she was born 20th November 2001.
