Hickoryneck Rabbitry

Hickoryneck Rabbitry, a family-run chinchilla breeder in Virginia, in the Piedmont region near Richmond. Sarah Campbell has cared for chinchillas for many years, follows recognized care standards and conducts regular health screenings for each animal. Routine veterinary exams support long-term health, and documented pedigrees trace each animal’s lineage back several generations.

Their chinchillas live in spacious, well-ventilated wire enclosures furnished with tunnels, sturdy branches and nesting boxes, giving them room to explore and maintain their natural behaviors. Young animals are gently handled each day to encourage calm temperaments, social confidence and ease transitions to their permanent homes. Their diet includes high-quality orchard grass hay and formulated pellets, supplemented with occasional herbs and fresh greens recommended by veterinarians.

Started as a small homestead project, the rabbitry has grown steadily through personal referrals and word-of-mouth from satisfied owners. Visitors note the welcoming atmosphere, the careful record-keeping, and the attention given to each animal’s well-being during routine visits.
