About Chinchillas.com

Established during the dawn of the dotcom era, in the year 2000, Chinchillas.com set out to revolutionize the chinchilla industry by creating a non-pelting market for the highest quality chinchillas. Chinchillas.com exports exclusively to select resellers and breeders who place a heavy emphasis on quality, education, and on providing a higher standard of life for chinchillas. Since its inception, Chinchillas.com has exported foundation quality breeding stock from the United States to over 26 countries on 6 continents - Setting New Standards Around the Globe! 

During the summer of 2001, following months of chasing the ultimate chinchilla domain through a network of registries, speculators, and cybersquatters, and with the help of an innovative intern and two attorneys, the elusive 'chinchillas.com' was finally captured! In the fall of that same year, the Chinchillas.com online live auction was initiated to offer international clientele equal access to rare hybrid colors, and to a limited supply of the best animals. For its first two decades, Chinchillas.com operated as a vendor based business, while simultaneously focusing on improving buyer-side husbandry for the high end chinchillas the business marketed throughout the world. 

Although Chinchillas.com made great advances through education and product development, in improving the keeping of chinchillas after they were sold, the breeding conditions in the US still lagged behind. While US & foreign breeders were beginning to adopt the hobbyist market inspired by Chinchillas.com, many herds continued using the old pelt production facilities with breeding collars and runs. Therefore, Chinchillas.com decided to use its influence to change production-side conditions going forward. 

In 2021, Chinchillas.com began a major restructure, moving away from dependence on outside producers. All operations were brought in house, and a dedicated herd manager joined the team to supervise. Chinchillas.com began construction on new facilities in both northeast Kansas and on the Treasure Coast of Florida, designed to provide optimal living conditions for the animals in its care. Simultaneously, a new herd was built, reflecting more than ever before the ideal 'Chinchillas.com' chinchilla that has become recognizable worldwide. 

"Our domestic environment is its own biome in which we become the natural selector, shaping a species over time. Thus, over the past twenty-five years, a unique aesthetic type has evolved into the classic 'Chinchillas.com' chinchilla."
