Marianne Sansouci

Marianne Sansouci is a chinchilla breeder in Sydney, ME, serving Midcoast Maine and the Portland area. She has cared for chinchillas for more than ten years of dedicated service and maintains membership in the American Chinchilla Society. She sources breeding stock from established bloodlines known for longevity and temperament, all traceable through national registry records.

Animals live in climate-controlled indoor enclosures with safe dust baths, nesting areas made from natural materials, and daily supervised out-of-cage time. Her daily routine includes custom hay and pellet diets formulated in consultation with exotic animal veterinarians. Each litter is raised under constant supervision and early-handled to encourage positive human interaction. Records of health screening for dental and respiratory conditions are kept up to date, and routine veterinary checkups are standard. Drawing on her background in rescue work, she provides ongoing guidance to adopters to support lasting, well-informed matches.
