American Chinchillas

The American Chinchilla rabbit originated in Saint Maur, France. In 1919 they were brought to the United States. Chinchillas were much sought   after for it's stunning fur. After the decline of the fur industry the Am Chin nearly became extinct. This now rare breed of rabbit is considered to be critically endangered by the American Livestock Breed Conservancy. The American Chinchilla is a great rabbit to use for meat production. They are docile and friendly, produce large litters and are excellent mothers. Mature does weight in at 10-12lbs and mature bucks weigh in at 9-11lbs.

(​We are not currently raising giant chins) The Giant Chinchilla Rabbit was created in America in 1921. It is a descendant of the Chinchilla Giaganta, which is known as the "Heavy-Weight" or American Chinchilla. The ideal Giant Chinchilla should weigh, when mature, 13-14 lbs for bucks and 14-15lbs for does. These mature weights make for ideal meat rabbits.

The Giant Chinchilla Rabbit is one of the few rabbit breeds that was created in America.   I descended from the  English breed known as the Chinchilla Giaganta, which incidentally corresponds to the so called "Heavy-Weight" or American Chinchilla.   When being shown across the middle west  they caused and still are causing a sensation.    The first Giant Chinchilla was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on Christmas Day in 1921.   Her very proud creator was Edward H. Stahl.   She was exhibited the following year and was called the Million Dollar Princess.  Now the breed is called the Million Dollar Rabbit.   Stahl perfected this breed by using over weight Chinchillas and White Flemish Giants,  just to name a couple of breeds used.  The Giant Chinchilla has been purebred for over 45 years.
The ideal Giant Chinchilla should weigh, when fully mature, 13-14 pounds for bucks. Does at maturity should weigh 14-15 pounds.  It is a proven fact that rabbits that weigh from 12-15 pounds at maturity have generally been accepted as the ideal meat producing rabbit.
Benefits of owning and raising the Giant Chinchilla. The Giant Chinchilla grows very fast when young and will weigh between 5-6 pounds when only 8 weeks old and 7-9 pounds at 12 weeks old.  Giant Chinchillas have no competition when it comes to producing meat fast and cost efficiently. Feeding cost is low! Giant Chinchillas are equipped for handling a considerable amount of hay, which is low in cost and they will not consume more pellets than other commercial breeds.  Remember that, although called a Giant, it is only in comparison with the smaller  Chinchilla varieties.
