Everyone evaluates the profitability of pedigree breeding of chinchillas for himself!

Is it profitable to breed chinchillas, because all costs and efforts should be rewarded with a good profit. What can you get from this case, and how much are the skins of this animal?

What products does a chinchilla breeding company provide, and how much does it cost? The most important product of chinchilla breeding is animal skins. What about their fur?

In natural conditions, chinchillas live in areas with cold climates, so they have thick and warm fur.

For 1 sq. More than 25 thousand hairs grow per centimeter of skin - such a density of fur is very rare among animals.

The structure of the fur is also not quite usual - 60-80 thin hairs grow from one bulb, and fur does not have hard guard hairs, the thickness of the downy hair is only 12-16 microns, the thickness of the covering hair is 24-28 microns, and they are several millimeters longer than the downy ones. ...

Chinchillas are herbivores, so their fur does not smell like sable, mink or arctic fox.

These animals do not moult, so you can slaughter them on fur all year round, but in winter their fur is still better. The color of the fur is different and depends on the breed - white, black, hazy, beige, variegated. You can sew stoles, hats, fur coats from chinchilla fur.

The disadvantage of skins is that they are very thin and fragile, special knowledge and skills are required to make it, and it is very easy to damage it. And chinchilla fur products do not have special wear, as, for example, in minks. However, despite this, there are no problems with the sale of products, products made from chinchilla skins are very expensive and only wealthy people can afford them. The cost of a fur coat from animal fur in Russia reaches 200 thousand rubles.

How much does one chinchilla skin cost? In Russia, on Avito, factory-made "gray standard" skins are sold at prices ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 rubles apiece.

The SilverChins enterprise located near Moscow buys dry unmanufactured chinchilla skins from farmers and breeders at a cost of 1 to 2 thousand rubles. Therefore, the answer to the question: what to do with the skins is very simple. They can be sold to a company that has specialists in the manufacture of these delicate products.

How many chinchilla skins do you need to sew one fur coat? The body length of chinchillas is only 22-38 cm, and their skins are not large, depending on the size, one fur coat will require from 100 to 300 skins, while it is important to choose a color pattern, since it is different for males and females.

Diet chinchilla meat is also highly valued; it can be sold in restaurants and cafes at a price of 750 rubles per kilogram. In addition to being a delicacy product, chinchilla meat should be consumed by people suffering from cancer, tuberculosis and sclerosis.

A business for breeding and growing chinchillas can be built in a different way. It is not necessary to raise animals for the sale of skins and meat - the animals can be raised and sold for breeding to other entrepreneurs. Or as a pet, since the demand for unusual pets is constantly growing, besides, chinchillas are cute, funny, quick-witted animals that do not need a lot of expensive food.

All over the world, chinchilla is prized as a source of chic fur. The business associated with breeding these furry animals does not imply serious investments. A chinchilla farm can bring a very tangible profit to an entrepreneur.

What are the advantages of a chinchilla over other types of fluffy animals

First of all, chinchillas are valued for their lack of smell, this is due to the fact that they do not have sebaceous and sweat glands. The animals eat vegetables, fruits, grass and do not need meat at all. Chinchillas are not subject to seasonal molting. This explains the ideal condition of the skin at any time of the year.

As for the cost of one chinchilla skin, it is 250 times higher than the cost of, say, a rabbit. The price of finished products is more than one thousand euros. Thus, a chinchilla farm is a low-cost business that you can do throughout the year.

• single agricultural tax - an entrepreneur pays one tax, instead of the four prescribed in the traditional system, but there are restrictions on the amount of income

Chinchilla fur is gray-silver-pearl with a dark shade and silky shimmer in the light. The most expensive fur in the world! Chinchilla skins and chinchilla products are in great demand, and a chinchilla fur coat is every woman's dream!

Initially, chinchillas lived in the highlands of the Andes - in Chile, Peru, at an altitude of five thousand meters above sea level. A sharply continental climate, suggesting humidity rarely exceeding 30%, temperature drops, both seasonal and daily average, scarce vegetation does not imply an abundant and varied food base. To survive in such harsh conditions, the animal must save energy from each dry blade of grass - like the well-known camel from the well-known camel thorn. All this led to the unique structure of the chinchilla fur.

In ordinary fur-bearing animals, one hair usually grows from one hair follicle. In a chinchilla, from one hair follicle grows from 60 to 80 (!) Finest (cobweb-like) hairs 12-14 microns thick. There are 25 thousand hairs per square centimeter, the pile height is 2.5 - 3 centimeters. The fur is a continuous layer of elastic, silky down. In nature, it serves as an excellent insulator, on the one hand, preventing the icy wind from passing through, on the other hand, preventing heat energy from leaving the body. In such a fur coat, the animal can live and reproduce peacefully, despite the unfavorable conditions of existence.

Breeding chinchillas as a home business

Chinchillas are cute and affectionate animals, it is pleasant to work with them in all respects, because they are distinguished by a friendly character and do not require special care conditions. To keep them comfortable, little is needed: feeding once a day and periodically cleaning the cage.

Chinchilla skins or live weight are willingly bought by fur auctions and fur farms in quantities of 10 or more. and more. For example, for 1 live chinchilla at a slaughter age of 7-8 months, they give from $ 20. This price can be much higher in the case of breeding white or other purebred species. Skins are more expensive, some craftsmen can earn more in this business. Moreover, chinchillas have dietary meat. They are treated for tuberculosis, and with sclerosis, it is simply irreplaceable.

The high cost of chinchilla products is due to the physiological characteristics of the fur. In ordinary fur, only one hair grows from one hair follicle, and in chinchillas - 60-80 finest (12-14 microns) cobweb-like hairs. This design is an ideal windbreak on the outside and an excellent heat insulator on the inside.

Breeding chinchillas as a business is profitable or not

1. Initial investment for the purchase of animals. One chinchilla per brood costs an average of $ 30 to $ 50. We multiply this amount by the number of animals from which you plan to start, and we get the amount of the initial investment.
2. Arrangement of their habitat. On 2 square meters, you can keep 20 individuals and this is taking into account the corridors between the cages. Each chinchilla uterus over three years old will need its own cage to ensure the well-being of the individual and the excellent quality of the fur, because this is the guarantee of your successful business... The cells can be made by yourself, then they will cost a symbolic amount.
3. Regular maintenance and food costs. Considering the small weight of the animal, the cost of food does not seem intimidating either. Chinchilla eats once a day (mainly vegetable and dry food). Some farmers add special compound feed to the diet to increase the nutritional value and improve the quality of the fur. On average, feeding one chinchilla per year costs about $ 240, during which time it will bring offspring, which will not only pay off all the maintenance, but also give you the opportunity to make tangible profits.

Chinchillas breed much worse than rabbits. There are usually 2-3 babies in one litter. But this fact makes the chinchilla fur coat much more expensive with lower maintenance costs.

1 chinchilla fur coat requires 100 skins on average. Pregnancy of a female lasts from 110 to 115 days, while babies will need another 7 weeks to grow up and become independent. All this time, the cubs stay with their mother. Then you can deposit. And at the age of 7-8 months, you can remove the skins.

Helpful advice! 1-2 months before slaughter age, it is advisable to lower the temperature to +5 degrees in the room where chinchillas live and increase the intensity of their feeding. This will significantly affect the density and commercial quality of the skin.

How many chinchillas do you need to breed? You can determine the size of your farm and the number of animals yourself, depending on the area of ​​the room that you have and your capabilities. One person is able to serve up to 500 chinchillas. If you want a larger number of individuals, then you will have to take care of attracting additional staff.

Conditions for polygamous breeding of chinchillas

Chinchillas are unpretentious creatures, but this does not mean that they do not require attention at all. The basic rules for the household care of a chinchilla are as follows:

• feeding, changing water and cleaning the cage occurs daily (once a day is enough);
• the sawdust, which is the bedding of the cage, needs to be changed weekly;
• Once a month, it is necessary to sift and calcine the sand, which is very important. The animals bathe in the sand and clean their fur.
• every six months it is worth performing general disinfection and cleaning of the premises where chinchillas are located.

When creating a chinchilla farm, you should pay attention to the fact that the room is always clean, warm and dry.

It is also necessary to take care of the access of fresh air to the animals, but not to allow drafts.

The cage is also important for polygamous breeding of chinchillas. This is a whole system in which everything must be thought out. For example, sand trays should not be connected to each other and should be placed separately in each section. It is better to buy such a cage system on wheels to make it easier to clean outside the breeding room.

Even schoolchildren can take care of chinchillas. You can also keep them in a city apartment, if you do not plan a large number of individuals. On the other hand, it is worth noting that chinchillas do not shed depending on the season, their fur is always of excellent quality. He is always ready for implementation at any time of the year.

For polygamous breeding of chinchillas, the following ratio is usually taken: from 2 to 4 females are acquired for one male.

Important! You cannot destroy the "working" family. The animals tolerate this painfully, and you may not get the desired result. It is also highly undesirable to cross related animals. This leads to their inevitable degeneration.

Collar for polygamous breeding of chinchillas

In polygamous breeding of chinchillas, it is important to observe one more condition: a special collar ring is put on the neck of each female. So the female will not leave the cage, and the male, in turn, will be able to move freely from female to female.

The cost of such a collar is in the range of $ 1-1.5. It is made of plastic. The collar can be used many times without causing any inconvenience to the animals.

Interesting fact! In nature, chinchillas usually form monogamous pairs. In the same way, they can be bred at home, although it is rather difficult to do this in industrial conditions because the number of females usually exceeds the number of males. In this regard, it can be quite difficult to find a pair for each bored male.

In the Middle Ages, only kings were allowed to wear chinchilla fur. Over time, these furs became available to the middle class as well. At the end of the 19th century, this led to the complete extermination of animals in Latin America. Today in the wild, chinchilla is very rare, but in captivity it is perfectly bred.

As you can see, breeding chinchillas is an easy and uncomplicated process. The demand for their fur is constantly growing, so you will not have any problems with the sale of finished skins. The internet is full of buyer's ads. In a few months, you will not only get back all your invested funds, but also get a significant profit, so we wish you success and good sales of beautiful individuals!

First of all, do not confuse a chinchilla with a chinchilla rabbit. Chinchilla rabbits were bred specifically as an inexpensive substitute for a real chinchilla; their fur is similar to chinchilla only in appearance. They appeared because chinchilla breeding as a business has not covered the need for chinchilla fur for several centuries.

Chinchilla fur is unmatched, but relatively short-lived, and the skin is very thin and delicate. Even the wives of oligarchs and superstars do not wear chinchilla products every day. A chinchilla fur coat or hat will not pass from generation to generation like a sable or beaver. So there is no end in sight to the demand for chinchilla. The forecast for Russia gives a consistently high demand for 40 (!) Years ahead. Among other goods, there are probably no analogues to this indicator.

A little about chinchillas

There are two types of chinchillas: coastal long-tailed (Chinchilla lanigera) and large short-tailed (Chinchilla brevicaudata). Both are the size of a small rabbit or a large rat; the quality of the fur is equivalent.

The animals come from South America, from the Andes. They are unpretentious to feed: rodents, they eat rabbit feed and hay. They live in polygamous families - one male for 4 females. Public animals, at least two families must see each other and visit each other. Chinchillas are peaceful, they never fight. Live up to 20 years.

These animals breed very poorly for rodents: in captivity, the female gives 1-2 litters of 1-2 cubs per year. They are very demanding on climatic factors and water quality. It can only be kept indoors without drafts and scorching sunlight, but the air should be fresh, not musty.

The temperature of the content is 18-24 degrees Celsius. The maximum permissible water hardness is 12 German degrees, but already at 8, the animals feel bad and stop multiplying. Chlorine, impurities of industrial pollution, organic matter in water are unacceptable. In fact, the water must be artesian tap water or spring water.

Air humidity is permissible no more than 68-70% average and 85% short-term. Better to keep it at 60%. Dampness, condensation will nullify all the efforts of the chinchilla grower.

Chinchillas have toilet skills and care is easy. Having asked in plenty of dry food and water, you can be absent for several days. But chinchillas do not tolerate anxiety and visits from outsiders.

Chinchilla

Chinchilla fur is unique in structure. Animals with such fur had to go a long way of evolution in the specific conditions of the Andean highlands.

From one hair follicle in a chinchilla, 60-80 fluffs grow (hairs, or even more so, it is difficult to call them awn) less than 15 microns thick (thinner than 0.015 mm). Human hair is 4-10 times thicker. The density of fur is more than 20 thousand per 1 sq. see Natural color - bluish gray.

Business on chinchillas

The first Spanish conquistadors tried to breed chinchillas. But seemingly fantastic profitable business: breeding shishillas never became widespread. There are several reasons.

Firstly, chinchillas are animals, although they are public, but their communities are rather closed. It is impossible to organize a large commercial chinchilla farm: the animals will feel there like a bushman snatched from their native Kalahari and thrown into a gas-filled metropolis teeming with people. With mass breeding of any animals, it is impossible to ensure the complete absence of ammonia in the air, and for chinchillas it is destructive.

Secondly, chinchillas are painful animals, and with a mass accumulation of them, any epizootic develops rapidly.

Thirdly, industrial methods of processing chinchilla skins have not yet been found. The skin of the animal is so thin and tender that it tears to meat under the fingers. You can take a chinchilla only by the ear or by the tail. Chinchilla skins can only be made by individual furriers - virtuosos, and almost all of them have their own secrets.

Therefore, large-scale commercial breeding of chinchillas is too risky, given the magnitude of the initial costs, and the benefit of the chinchilla business is based on the high price of finished products. On a large scale, it is more profitable to breed a chinchilla rabbit and trade in a natural chinchilla substitute.

Is home chinchilla farming profitable?

But is it profitable to breed chinchillas at home? Are there entire lucrative industries based on individual production?

At first glance, the prospects are tempting: middlemen willingly take a dressed chinchilla skin for $ 1000 or more apiece for its standard color. Skins with color variations are sold individually, often at auctions. The price of a finished chinchilla fur coat of US $ 300,000 is not considered excessive.

But the technology for making chinchilla in Russia is unknown. The animal is taken for slaughter at 20,000 - 60,000 rubles. with a standard color, and chinchilla nurseries offer them from 2000 rubles. But keeping more than 10 families in an air-conditioned apartment is unlikely to succeed.

Families cannot be broken; extra males go to the slaughter. At the above-mentioned rate of reproduction, we get 10 - 40 marketable animals per year. In the best case, this is 2,400,000 rubles. per year or 200,000 per month, with a minimum initial investment of 800,000. Current expenses do not count, they are negligible.

As you can see, the business plan for breeding chinchillas, according to the final results, looks more modest than the "rabbit" or "nutria" one, while the prospects are bright at first glance. World practice confirms the calculations - until now, despite the strict laws of the countries of their original habitat, chinchilla poaching is widely practiced, which makes the natural population of chinchillas endangered.

Let's say that the calculations did not cool the enthusiast, but he also dreams of unraveling the secrets of making a chinchilla, getting rich on this and becoming famous. What do you need, besides money to buy animals, to start working on a chinchilla?

First of all, the solid experience of the rabbit breeder. Even chinchillas - pets - rarely survive in "zero" owners. The rest is not that difficult.

Accommodation rate - 10 families (male + 4 females) per 20 sq. m. Aviaries are one-story. Chinchillas are not rabbits, they will not tolerate stomping over their heads and debris from above. Conditions of detention are as described above.

Aviaries - with mesh walls, so that the animals can see each other, rub their noses and tickle each other with a mustache. You don't have to worry too much about strength - chinchillas are quiet, couch potatoes and neat.

The floor of the aviary should be covered with gravel or pebbles. It is imperative to arrange a sand bath - chinchillas, like sparrows, love to swim in the sand. Put a shallow flat dish for toilet needs. If the animals ignore it, put a little “that one” there during cleaning and leave it that way. As a rule, after that, chinchillas begin to walk as intended.

Daily care comes down to cleaning, cleaning and feeding. Feed - rabbit compound feed, hay; seasonally - feeding with herbs, in winter - carrots, cabbage. Do not neglect dry food: chinchillas, like all rodents, need to grind their teeth. Food can be given for future use, chinchillas are not gluttons. Chinchillas need a little water, but it is better to change it more often to fresh, so that by the next change in the drinking bowl it remains on the bottom.

Once a week, you need to wash the gravel and sift the bathing sand, and change the sand that is too contaminated. Change the sand completely once a month. Once every six months - to transplant the family for a while in another aviary and arrange a general cleaning in their home with disinfection and calcining of gravel.

Chinchilla fur is one of the most demanded and prestigious materials in the global fashion industry. fur products... But these are not all the advantages of these animals. Their dietary meat is recommended for the treatment of tuberculosis, sclerosis. It has been proven that its properties have a beneficial effect on the condition of patients with cancer.

Not everyone knows about the uniqueness of chinchillas. Even the ancient Indians noticed that these fur-bearing animals live in areas of deposits of gold or precious stones. Therefore, if it is customary to take a dog for hunting, a pig to search for truffles, then treasure hunters use a chinchilla for their work.

Many treasure hunters today have changed their status to entrepreneurs and receive a high income from breeding these animals at home.

Breeding chinchillas as a home business

Breeding chinchillas at home is a promising direction, which is just beginning to develop in our country.

Advice: according to experts, there will never be high competition in this business. This is due to the increased demand for fur and long period breeding chinchilla.

The profitability of this type of business is due to the following factors:

• lack of competing organizations;
• high demand for fur in the world market;
• relatively small financial costs for organizing a business;
• high prices for fur, the possibility of selling meat;
• quick payback of the project (with proper planning, start-up costs are paid off in 18 months);
• caring for animals is simple and does not require a lot of labor.

Today it is fashionable to choose exotic animals as pets. Therefore, a business on or chinchillas gets new distribution channels - pet stores, which are happy to take animals for sale.

Business registration

Chinchillas are undemanding animals, so they are easy to breed at home. At small volumes at the start, you do not need to register a business. The fact is that the breeding period in animals at home is quite long. Therefore, it is not advisable to pay taxes while waiting for the offspring.

After the promotion of the business, when searching for distribution channels and when selling products to private firms, registration will be required. To do this, you must choose one of the organizational and legal forms:

• peasant farm (KFK);
• individual entrepreneur;
• limited liability company.

LLC is suitable for a large farm. Beginners are advised to arrange, which will make it possible to sell not only animals, but also related products- skins, meat and even finished fur products.

For registration farms the following package of documents is required:

• application form P21002;
• an agreement on the establishment of a farm, certified by a notary (if the number of applicants is two or more people);
• a copy of the passport of each founder of the farm;
• a receipt for payment of the state duty (800 rubles).

Sometimes additional documents may be required, for example,.

Room equipment

The main product when breeding chinchillas at home is fur, but some manage to establish meat marketing channels. The quality of the skins largely depends on the conditions of detention.

Despite the fact that these animals are undemanding and unpretentious, they can reproduce even at a temperature of + 40 ° C, when breeding them at home, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

• indoor humidity level - 55-60%;
• permissible temperature - + 18-21 ° C;
• lack of direct rays of the sun;
• no drafts, sharp temperature fluctuations.

Many entrepreneurs, who did not know, and preferred to try the business on chinchillas, at the initial stage raised the animals in their own house or even in an apartment. But when the business expands, it is necessary to build and equip the animals with a separate room. The main condition in it is thermal insulation. The big plus is that the animals do not require a lot of space. A room with an area of ​​18-20 m² is sufficient for keeping 100 individuals.

To breed chinchillas at home, it is enough to purchase the following set of equipment:

1. cells;
2. automatic drinkers;
3. bunker feeders;
4. devices for heating the premises in winter (the best option for this is the purchase of convectors);
5. swimwear;
6. air conditioning;
7. low power lamps for lighting.

In the cage, you need to install bathing suits - containers with sand so that the animals can clean the skins. It is better to buy automatic feeders and drinkers to constantly provide the animals with food.

The height of the cage should be 40-45 centimeters, the landing area - 30 cm² per individual. For the production of cages, it is recommended to use a galvanized mesh with cells measuring 2 x 1.5 centimeters.

Advice: chinchillas should not be placed in wooden cages, as the animal will quickly gnaw through partitions of any thickness.

In a room with an area of ​​18-20 m², 6 sections can be placed in 2 rows. On the front wall, doors are installed to get the animals, change water and add food, as well as a drinking bowl and a feeder. On the back wall there is a "lounger" 10-15 centimeters wide at a height of up to 20 centimeters. To ensure cleanliness, stands with wooden sawdust are installed under the cages, which must be changed every 5-7 days (as they become dirty).

Preparation of the food supply

Chinchillas are herbivorous rodents. As a rule, when breeding at home, they are fed with compound feed. The food supply can be divided into several types:

• concentrated feed - cereals (wheat, corn, millet) and legumes (lentils, beans, peas);
• dried herbs;
• hay.

An adult must eat at least 25 grams of food per day. For catering, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

1. taste habits are formed in these animals immediately after birth, therefore, new foods are introduced gradually and with caution;
2. in addition to the usual food, the animals need to be given vitamins to strengthen their immunity. For breeding chinchillas at home, specialized vitamin preparations designed for ferrets are suitable;
3. it is imperative to give food in the evening, since animals are awake at night;
4. water should be boiled or filtered.

Features of caring for chinchillas at home

Simplicity is a big advantage when breeding chinchillas at home. For the maintenance of 20 families in the first stage, as in the case, one person is suitable.

Every day, such animals need to be fed, changed the water in the drinking bowl and the sand in the bathing suit, monitor the cleanliness of the cages, observe the temperature regime, and ventilate the room.

Features of breeding chinchillas at home:

1. puberty begins from 6-7 months;
2. females carry the fetus for 106-114 days;
3. the ability to reproduce lasts about 12-15 years;
4. the lifespan of these animals is about 17-18 years;
5. the cub is weaned from its mother at the age of 2 months with a weight gain of 200 grams;
6. a newborn animal has teeth and sees well (unlike nutria);
7. begin to feed babies on the fifth day after birth;
8. the growth and development of young animals lasts up to 12-13 months and ends after gaining weight 450-500 grams;
9. the animals mate at night;
10. during pregnancy, the weight of the female increases by 40-50 grams.

According to experts, even with the rapid development of this business, the overproduction crisis will not threaten this area for another 100-200 years. The reason lies in reproductive traits. For a year, a female can give birth 2-3 times to 1-4 cubs when breeding at home.

Chinchilla families can be both monogamous and polygamous. If breeding is planned and individuals are distinguished by high productive qualities, have good breed qualities, they must be placed together in one cage (female plus male). In another case, one male is kept in a cage with four females.

Financial calculation

If, when looking for an answer to the question "?" you decide to breed chinchillas at home, you need to make financial plan... According to experts, it is better for beginners to start with 20 families. This amount does not require large investments and equipment of a large room. Working on a small farm will make it possible to calculate the profitability of the project and really assess your strength.

Approximate starting costs for breeding chinchillas at home:

1. purchase of young animals (20 families consist of 80 chinchillas, each of which costs about $ 50) - $ 4,000;
2. preparation of premises, installation of cages, purchase of equipment - about 4 thousand dollars;
3. food costs (each individual eats about 20 kg of feed per year) - $ 820

In practice, to organize a mini-farm for 20 families, costs of 7-10 thousand dollars are needed. We will form a family of one male and 3-4 females, each of which brings offspring 2-3 times a year, 1-4 cubs. On average, each female gives birth to 6 cubs per year. Therefore, 360 animals can be obtained on a small farm in one year. Selling them for $ 50 will generate $ 18,000 in revenue and cover all start-up costs.

Sales channels

It is possible to achieve a quick payback of the project by establishing a competent sales policy. Ways of implementation when breeding chinchillas at home:

1. selling animals for pet stores or as an exotic animal;
2. sale of skins at fur auctions. This option is suitable for large farms, since such an event is attended by enterprises with a large turnover (from 5 thousand skins);
3. sale of young animals for divorce;
4. sale of meat;
5. sale of fur in the atelier and specialized organizations.

Chinchilla meat - price

Do not forget about the dietary and healing properties of the meat of this animal. Naturally, when selling skins, there is a question of selling meat. It has been proven to help with sclerosis, tuberculosis, and oncological diseases.

The meat is quite suitable for food, in taste and nutritional value it resembles a rabbit. Today it is not in high demand, so the prices are low - 250-400 rubles per kilogram.

Breeding chinchillas as a business - reviews

Helena:
My parents breed chinchillas at home, for this they have allocated a small extension. This case has certain nuances that are worth considering. For example - the temperature regime, which should be within +18 - + 24ºС. Recently, the heater was not turned on on time, the temperature dropped to +14 ºС, so 6 animals out of 40 died. Although the care is simple, you will not go on vacation either - you need to feed, clean the cages, etc. every day. A big minus is the lack of technology for skinning, and only expensive restaurants with exotic cuisine (at a low price) take meat, so parents raise them as pets and sell them via the Internet. Despite this, I want to leave a positive review - they eat very little, the cost of feed is insignificant. The cages for them are small, there is no need to buy a large breeding room. The meat is tasty and tender, they say it is also healthy.

Evgeniy:
I always wanted to organize my own business, but without competition. After rereading reviews and advice on the Internet, I settled on a chinchilla - the care is simple, the start-up costs are low. I do not regret it, because in a year and a half I paid back all the expenses and went to zero. But I recommend starting only for those who are really ready to devote themselves to these cute animals. Start small to learn breeding technology at home. Today I sell these animals in Russia and neighboring countries. Most of my clients are young farmers who buy young animals for divorce. Sometimes they take it for home keeping as a beloved pet.

Maksim:
If your chinchillas do not get sick, do not die, quickly become pregnant and give birth to young of beautiful colors of the desired sex, if you yourself know how to build cells, if you do not spend money on buying new individuals, then you will quickly recoup your investment (in 1-1.5 years). But, unfortunately, one cannot do without the above nuances. Any financial waste, illness, elementary reluctance of the female to mate, unsuccessful childbirth will nullify all efforts. Think - are you ready for difficulties? If such problems do not scare you and you are ready to try, everything will work out. Think carefully about each step, think about the ways of implementation already at the start, and your business will be doomed to success.

Lack of competition in the market for the production of chinchilla fur, ease of care and maintenance, low start-up costs make this business demanded and promising. But those who want to organize a business for breeding chinchillas at home should take into account all the pitfalls and subtleties. The animals need to be looked after regularly, to prevent drafts and temperature fluctuations. Also, no longer start, you need to take care of the distribution channels.
