Davidson Chinchillas - Specialising in Charcoal Chinchillas

The information on this website has been drawn from many sources. Personal and professional experience, respected chinchilla persons, forums, and a wide variety of reading materials. Some publications are very difficult to obtain now and it had taken considerable time and financial resources to collect my chinchilla care library.

This is, by no means, and exhaustive list - but it does cover some of the resources in the Manor Library.

Too numerous to mention!

I have collections of magazines and journals dating back to the early 1940s - these provide a fascinating insight into the history of chinchilla keeping and husbandry, as well as some interesting ideas.
