Meet Jazmine, the fluffiest little bundle of energy you’ll ever meet! At just one year old, this sweet chinchilla is as curious as they come. Jazmine loves to hop around, explore her surroundings, and nibble on treats—especially if they’re made from timothy hay! With her big, bright eyes and irresistibly soft fur, she’ll quickly become your favorite little companion.

Chinchillas thrive on a diet of hay (like timothy or orchard grass) and chinchilla-specific pellets. They also require a large, well-ventilated cage with multiple levels for climbing and jumping. Did you know chinchillas can jump up to 6 feet in a single bound!? Not impressed? How about his fun fact: Chinchillas are considered to have the softest fur of any mammal. Since they can’t get wet, chinchillas need regular dust baths to keep said fur clean and healthy. This is a win-win for everyone, cause it’s pretty dang cute to see.

Jazmine stays active by running through tunnels and up and down the ramps in her enclosure. She enjoys nibbling on wooden chew toys and will sometimes get a little gossipy and tell you about her day. While chinchillas are more on the independent side, she will appreciate gentle interaction and with some time and patience, could even grow to enjoy sitting with you.

If you’re ready for a fun, fluffy companion, Jazmine is ready to find her forever home! Stop by our Adoption Center between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. any day except Wednesdays (closed) to meet her! Questions? Give us a call at 603-772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today!
