FAQs

How much does a chinchilla cost?

The cost of a chinchilla in the UK typically ranges from around £120 for standard grey chinchillas purchased at pet stores, up to £700 or more for rare colours or breeder-quality chinchillas. Specialized breeders offering show-quality or rare mutations can charge significantly higher prices, sometimes exceeding £3,500. Initial setup costs for housing, food, and accessories often add £350 or more, with ongoing monthly expenses around £30-40.

Should I buy one or two chinchillas?

Chinchillas are highly social animals that generally thrive in pairs, as companionship greatly reduces stress and encourages natural behaviours. While single chinchillas can do well if given ample daily interaction and mental stimulation, two chinchillas are usually happier and more active, making it the recommended choice for ethical pet ownership.

Is it legal to own a chinchilla in the UK?

Yes, owning a chinchilla as a pet is legal throughout the United Kingdom. However, it is advisable to check any local council regulations and ensure you meet animal welfare standards, as responsible ownership requires proper care and housing.

How difficult is it to own a chinchilla?

Chinchillas require a moderate to high level of care and are not ideal pets for beginners. They need a large, well-ventilated cage, a strict diet of high-quality hay and pellets, regular dust baths to maintain their fur, and protection from heat and humidity. They also need daily social interaction or a companion to avoid loneliness, and an emergency vet fund should be considered.
