Available for Adoption:
Name: Charles
Species: Chinchilla
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Male
This handsome, distinguished gentleman is Charles. With his giant ears and cute as a button nose, you can't help but fall in love. He's social and loves his pets but he's also an independent guy. Things that Charles appreciates in life are his independence, the quiet and tranquil home, snacks and pets. His curiosity in life allows him to explore every time he gets his out of kennel time throughout the day. Things that Charles does not appreciate in his life are dogs; he'd prefer a home without them. Here are some fun facts about chinchillas that you may not know: Their teeth grow throughout their lives so they need to have wood or wooden toys to chew on at all times to keep their teeth filed down. They can overheat easily- the best temperature is between 59 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. They need to take a dust bath in special chinchilla dust once a week (that’s a fun sight!) Chinchillas eat hay and chinchilla pellets, and can live for 20 years. For more info on this pet, visit https://www.dakinhumane.org/adopt-a-pet
