On the farm we have also breeding of chinchillas.

We find that Angus livestock and chinchilla trimmings are ideal for breeding on the same farm according to the workload. We can recommend this for small farms which want to have livestock breeding as an income.

We have fitted up an old two-storied stable building with cages and installed a mass oven in which we only have to light a fire once a day.

Chinchilla farming does not depend on the season as there will be chinchillas ready for skinning round the year.

They are with young for 111 days and usually get 1 to 4 kits per litter.
