Need to rehome Two chinchilla boys

Before anyone start to judge. Please give me a chance to explain my situation.

I have these two boys for 3 years, they have some physical flaws when I adopted them. Due to changes that are going on inside the US, I have been offered a better chance at another country. I have contacted the airlines and the customs in that country, and unfortunately it is illegal and not allowed to take rodent. Some pet shipping company that I've contacted want $12000 for moving them and there's still chance if custom find them, I can't take them back

For Oreo and JoJo, I can't trust to let them go through this dangerous moving process, I don't want to put them in risk. It is not easy for me to make this decision, but all these moving and changes are really not something I can predict.

I have contacted some rehome shelter, but everyone is in full capacity and unable to take them.

Here are photos of my boys, I also post them on Home to Home website.

From pictures you can see they have cataract on one eye. Oreo also lost his left paw and tail in a fight with another chin. They are sweet boys but these flaws will make them hard to be adopted in the shelter.

I will attach link to rehome website, If anyone is interested, please contact me through there. I can provide the food they eat, chew toys, snacks and their nutrition paste. The only thing I can't provide is the cage.

Please know that It is a hard decision for me to make, and I want them to end up being loved again.

For anyone who want to take them, or any questions, please contact me without hesitate, I don't check reddit often, but I can always reply through email.
