We all know how terrible the current chinchilla books on the shelves are. So I decided to write my own book. It has taken me pretty much all year, but I finally am close to being done. I just got my proofs in the mail today! YAY! Now I just need to do all of the edits and add my table of...

I really wish I could find a spiny mouse forum or talk to someone that knows more about them! I've been asking this question to everyone I know, and a lot of people here breed chins, so I thought I should ask. Less than a week ago, I adopted two female spiny mice. They were being rehomed...

I'd like to introduce you all to my new little baby Blossom. She's a 12 week old short tailed opossum. This is how she was sleeping when I brought her home She loves her hanging house Such a scary little opossum! (she was just yawning. lol) Me and Blossom.

I know it's been a LOOOONG time since I've posted here, so I wanted to share some new pictures of Yuki and Momo. Momo Yuki Where's the chinchilla?! "Hi, Mom!"

I just adopted two spiny mice today. Mouse 1 Mouse2 The problem is, they seem to have been fighting. I think they've been together since birth, and I wasn't told anything about this before adopting them. One has a missing patch of fur by his ear and bite marks all over his tail, and the...

I just got her last night, so she doesn't have a name yet. I'll introduce her to my other two girls after quarantine. Isn't she cute? :) Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYwUyCePVPw

I love the tiny dark spots between Yuki's ears. They keep getting darker, too. Enjoying a stick inside her house Momo being crabby Yuki has a habit of popcorning and landing on Momo. lol I can't believe I was actually able to get a picture of it.

My two girls seem so small compared to most other chins. They're both 9 months old and one weighs only 485 grams and the other only 504 grams. Will they most likely keep growing? I've heard they can gain weight until they're 2 years old and keep growing, but they haven't gained much weight in...

Yuki and Momo just got their first wheel! (Well, Yuki had one when she was 5-8 weeks old and loved it, but that was with her breeder and she hasn't had one since then). Here's a video I took of both of their first times on their new wheel! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BAGnucsIyo Yuki...

I opened a Cafe Press shop with chinchilla stuff! What do you guys think? What else should I add? http://www.cafepress.com/candygraphics Have I mentioned that making chinchilla stuff is just too much fun?!! I love doing this kind of thing. :)

And the girls seem to be enjoying it so far! Today they were even popcorning in it which made me very happy! They never popcorned in their old cage. I made pillowcase style pan liners to cover the plastic pans. Here's their old one and their new one: And here's a video taken right after I...

These are the colors I have so far: I need to make ebonies, sapphires, tans, other variations of mosaics, and maybe brown velvets. Anything I'm forgetting? Also, would making funky colored ones like pink, purple, and blue be cute? I'm also thinking about making them holding different...

I thought I would share this picture since I thought it was adorable! My hubby bought the Pokemon chinchilla toy for me yesterday. Isn't that sweet of him? I entered Yuki in a photo contest! I won the last one thanks to you lovely people!! To vote, you have to "like" this picture on...

My girls are 8 months old, and I've been starting to think about getting them a wheel. Some people say to wait until they're 6 months old and others say a year. Which do you recommend? I want them to be as big and healthy as possible, so if I need to wait until they're a year, I will do so...

A friend of mine built my chinchillas a new awesome fort! He did it using no tape and clever cutting and folding of one piece of large cardboard! The chins LOVE it! Momo enjoying the fort And here's some random pictures because I'm sure by now you all know how much I LOVE taking and sharing...

I didn't get any good shots of Yuki, but luckily Momo is pretty photogenic. Haha! Yuki could care less and would rather sleep....standing up

I just wanted to share some recent pictures I've taken! I wish I knew how much they weigh now. Last time I checked, they were about 450 grams, but the scale seems to be broken now. It probably got too much dust in it. Haha! WINK! Momo getting some cuddle time. She loves jumping into my arms to...

I just got back from an 8 day vacation at Myrtle Beach and my friend did a wonderful job watching my 2 chinchillas. He obviously dust bathed them since their fur was very pretty and fluffy. He fed them well, one gained 15 grams and the other gained 25 grams while I was gone! I was a little...

I just got a gram scale, and I weighed both of my chins. They both, oddly enough, weigh the exact same at 430 grams. They're a little less than 5 months old, and they're both females. Is this a decent weight? How long do chins continue to grow usually? I want to show them at the Wisconsin...

Momo has a love/hate relationship with this toy. She enjoys chewing on it, but she HATES when it gets in the way of her begging to come out of the cage. Haha! She has such an attitude sometimes! But she's a sweetie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qDKl-FIzjw (and pardon the messy cage. The...
