CHINCHILLA SAN VALENTIN

Company Description

Our farm is located in the town of San Vicente in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It occupies a fraction of 15 hectares (within a larger area of property also owned by the company) originally occupied by two 5000m2 horse stables. The first building has 10 dwellings with capacity for 340 chinchilla families each.

The second building has 16 separate dwellings destined for young and future reproducers: 8 for females and 8 for males. Each of these dwellings contains 350 cages for eight to nine month old individuals, organized according to their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, some of wich are for breeding and the rest for pelts.

There is another dwelling reserved for imported reproducers, with capacity for up to 800 chinchillas, that are mated with the healthiest and most exemplary young individuals determined by genetic and fur characteristics. The farm is surrounded by indigenous trees as well as many 80 year old Australian eucalyptus trees. Since rodent incisors and molars need to be constantly worn down, fifty weeping willow trees were planted for our chinchillas in 2008.

Weeping willow also serves as a valuable dietary supplement and is known for promoting digestive health in rodents. Our farm was specially designed to provide the Chinchillas with an ideal habitat that is completely free of contaminants. Furthermore, the dwellings are designed to minimize animal stress, which is the primary cause of poor biological development in this species.
Each and every skin is evaluated according to specific sets of high standards, for example: volume of hair, size,c olor, finish, veiling coverage and clarity. However, other factors also apply, such as the length and density of the guard hairs, their silkiness and resilience.
By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that the description of each and every lot of skins is completely accurate.

Chinchillas San Valentin is proud to provide the necessary tools for starting serious and professional breeding operations, such as initial consultation, proper site selection and counseling so that new breeders can maximize the return on their investment and effectively plan self-sustainable projects.
Our professionals provide support in all of the necessary areas of operation: veterinary, administrative, logistical, training, and installations, among others. All reproducers are delivered with the warranty and documentation of their specific pedigree. We provide personalized professional support for two years, and will include consumable provisions for the first 60 days.
