back in 1963 when someone suggested that we look into raising- chinchillas we had our doubts at first an old two family house in downtown toronto seemed like an unlikely place for raising one of the worlds most valuable for bearing ani mals we knew how rare and expensive chinchilla fur was and had always thought chinchillas need a cold climate and com plicated housing it came as a real surprise when we found out that chinchillas can be raised anywhere they dont need coldto de velop their rur and theyre so neat clean and odorless you can keep them in your spare room canada is one of the worlds largest suppliers of chinchilla pelts and most of the largest ranchers in canada started in basements garages and spare rooms weve always liked animals so we de cided to give it a try we started out with only a few chinchillas but soon had a sizeable herd females average about two babies lo a utter and can give birth two or three times a year all the thou- sandsof chinchillas in the us and canada are descended from seven males and four females that were brought to the us in 1923 even though we soon had a lot of ani mals the cost of feeding them was only about 350a year per animal the profit from one pelt was more than enough to feed quite a few mamas and their babies for a whole year there was never any shortage of buyerseitber it takes from 80 to iso pelts just to make one fur coat withinafewyearswehadquitealarke herd yet caring for than never really i became too difficult cruncmlas are so clean and odorless their bedding only needs to be changed once a week and they only need to be fed once a day in fact chinchillas are so cute and friendly raising them is fun in itself we traced the growth of our babies like proud parents watching as each one grew up and hadafamflyof its own i we even found an organization called the united chinchilla breeders associa- tion that helps beginners with just about everything they need to run a successful business theyput out training manuals have regular workshops and publish monthly bulletins to keep everybody up to date on whats new and interesting they even come by to check your setmp for you every so often so you can always be sure everything is just the wayit ought tobe the association makes sure new ranchers get only top quality breeding stock they are very emphatic about it all the animals are inspected and tested each new rancher is guaranteed in writ ing that he has top quality healthy ani mala that will breed and reproduce we urge anyone who likes animals to find out more about raising chrnrhillas they take so utile time to raise and the rewards can be so great its impossible to describe the thrill and pride of market ing your first pelts or selling a live animal for breeding quality pelts bring from 20 to 50 apiece and top quality breeding an sell anywhere from 300 to 600 since youll be starting with the best you should be producing only high quality animals although our herd has grown so large we moved out to our own ranch in the countrjrwere up- to 800 animals now jack still works full time of course im not working anymore but its by choice with our new business i dont have to l
