I've had my chinchilla for a little under three weeks now and he's settled in very nicely. I love him so much that I am considering getting another chinchilla at some point in time. I have read about the 30-day quarantine and the possibility they may not ever like each other. If I needed to, I could keep them separate. Obviously I'd prefer if they could keep each other company, but I have the space and resources to care for two chins completely separately if need be.
So of course, in considering what I would like in my next chinchilla, coloring is a factor. I stumbled across several photos of goldbar chins while reading information about mutations. And I absolutely love the color, it's just stunning.
Problem: can't seem to find them anywhere! Are they so rare right now that the prospect of having one as a pet is simply unrealistic? Or do I just not know where to look?
