Hello all.
I am new to the hobby of 'chinchilla shows'.

I was extremely interested in attending the upcoming chapter show in Auburn, IN; however, I will be having eye surgery the 1st and will not be able to attend. How often are there "shows" in the Midwest area?

Must I bring my own chinchilla show cage? I found a link for this one http://www.chinchillas.com/estore/detail.aspx?ID=31
It seems reasonable, but I want to make sure its the right one / safe.

I am sure I will pester you guys for advice later on proper show grooming and all that good stuff...until then.. :)
 
Show cages are supplied at each show by the chapter that is hosting the event. So don't buy any.
You will find almost all shows posted on this forum, or look at the MCBA web page or Empress web pages.

Combs can be purchased through the Ryerson chinchilla ranch/company. I would suggest going to shows before investing in combs.

Before attending a show you are interested in , place a post in this area of the forum and ask if someone can help you groom at the show. You'll find out there is much more to grooming/dusting weeks before showing. However this is a good start.

Everyone has a preference for comb sizes. I use a 2 and 4. Every person is different.
