Thank you for stopping at Mt. Zion Chinchillas.  My name is 
Barb Alton

What is a chinchilla ?? - one of the most delightful creatures God 
has created - Sure they are rodents, and many people think of 
rodents as 'yuk' -  but these characters are similar to squirrels 
in intelligence and love to run and play.

Chinchillas are the 'clowns of the rodent world' - They can make 
people laugh just watching them go thru their silly antics.  All my 
chins have 'play' time where they get to run around a 'chin' proof 
room and interact with me. They are all been handled since birth - 
some more than others (their choice) 

I have been breeding since 1994 and each year I find I love these 
little creatures more and more.  So as  to not repeat what has been 
said by 'experts' in the chin world, and for the most up to date 
information about chins, go to my provided LINKS  (they say it better 
than I can). -  I  am NOT a pet store - I am a hobby breeder so my 'hours' are when I am home

PLEASE DO NOT  come  to my home  without an appointment -  I will have  to turn you  away -  lets face it - it is too dangerous - not  knowing who you are

Disclaimer:   if you 'google'  my name  to find if  I have a good reputation as a  breeder    I have to tell you that  I am    Not  the person mentioned.  I am horrified but there is nothing I can do unless I change my birth name which I am not willing to do.  Just looking at me you would know I am not that person.  I am over 60 years old and very much over weight

Our Mission

Mt. Zion Chinchillas strives to breed the most  people  friendly chins  we can   We breed mainly for temperament
 and, of course,  good health.    My chins come from good pedigree lines -  Chincherub/ Chin-Vet / FurryAnimalsOhMy / Jags/ Ryerson / Whitewoods / Lowcountry / Ritterspach and Gallagher.   I have bought some new chins so I  could have some kits from  RAF /more Ryerson / Shoots / Edger Hykes /  Longenecker/Tiffany's Chinchillas and Silkrhein's  lines.  Although my chins have good pedigree lines - remember these chins are my PETS and are treated as such
