Cuddle Bug Chinchillas

Cuddle Bug Chinchillas is a chinchilla breeder in Aurora, CO, serving the Colorado Front Range near Denver. Founded by Stephan Kern, the operation has been quietly raising small herds of quality chinchillas for several years with memberships in national chinchilla associations and a focus on routine health screenings.

Each chinchilla lives in roomy, multi-level enclosures with natural dust baths and careful temperature control to reflect their high-altitude habitat needs. Stephan places emphasis on gentle handling and early socialization, welcoming visitors by appointment to observe pups in a calm, home-based environment. Highlighting a track record of well-adjusted pets, past adopters often note friendly temperaments and quick adaptability to new homes. Diet includes high-quality timothy hay, chinchilla pellets, and the occasional fruit treat to support dental and digestive health. The breeder’s transparent approach includes sharing lineage records and care tips to ensure lifelong wellbeing.
