Home > Adoptions > Adoption Fees

Guinea Pigs:
Our guinea pig adoption fee is $25 for one and $40 for a pair. If the pig has already been neutered or spayed, add $15. This helps defray our surgery costs.

Rats:
You can adopt a rat for $10 for one and $15 for a pair. If the rat has already been spayed or neutered, we will simply charge you for our costs: $25 for a male, and $40 for a female. Since this fee only covers our surgical costs, please consider making an extra donation. The future rats we save, feed and house will thank you!

Hamsters:
The hamster adoption fee is $10 for one and $15 for two (although some species of hamsters should always be housed separately). All of our hamsters live in foster homes and are screened for temperament before going out for adoption. Handled correctly, they should not bite. If you buy a hamster from the pet store there is a good chance that you will bring home a biter, or worse, a pregnant hamster!

Mice:
Our adoption fee for mice is $10 for one, and $5 for each additional mouse. Our adoptable mice have not bitten and are 100% *not* pregnant!

Rabbits:
All of our rabbits have been spayed or neutered. The adoption fee is $40 for one and $75 for a pair.

Chinchillas:
We often have chinchillas available for adoption. Chinchillas have very specific housing, climate and diet and requirements and live 16 - 20 years. Please do your research before thinking about bringing a chinchilla into your life. If you are still interested in adopting a chinchilla after doing your research, please contact us to see who is available. Our adoption fee for chinchillas is $75 for one and $125 for two.
