Delilah is a four-year-old spayed female. Chinchillas are social creatures that require lots of attention from an owner or another chinchilla companion. They can live up to 20 years. They require routine exercise and a large enough cage space to accommodate their exercise requirements. They also need a specialized "dust bath" to maintain their soft coat. Chinchillas have comical personalities and love to play with chew proof toys. When properly handled and socialized they will make a great addition to your family.

About CT Humane Society:
Way back in 1881, a Hartford High School senior named Gertrude O. Lewis wanted to find a way to help the animals of Connecticut. She gathered support in her community – including some of Connecticut’s most prominent citizens of the time – and that very same year, Gertrude founded the Connecticut Humane Society.
And all these years later, the work continues. CHS is the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state, serving thousands of pets every year. As an independent nonprofit organization, CHS does not receive any funding from the government and is not associated with any national animal welfare groups. The pets rely solely on the generosity and support of donors and volunteers.
