Bean is 1 week old today! ;D She is now a wopping 62grams and is doing great. We just love her SO much! Having a baby chin was never in the plan but I am so glad she is here. And more good news... Mocha still ISN'T a mommy! Each day that passes I get more relaxed that she didn't come to...

Do I need to feed Mama only Timothy hay? She is used to Orchard Grass but I switched her over after Bean was born. She is definitely eating it but there is SO MUCH waste with the Timothy! I can get Oxbow Timothy (or Kaytee) not sure about other brands locally or shipped.

Many thanks to everyone who looked at my video yesterday and helped me confirm the sex of our little suprise package! For your reward... cute baby pics!!! Meet Baby Bean!!! (Mama is Latte... get it??? ;)) She is doing great! She has gained 2 gs since yesterday!

One of our rescue girls suprised us with a little baby yesterday. Mama and baby are doing well! I was hoping you all could answer a coupld of questions for me... I took all the high shelves etc out of the nursery cage but baby keeps climbing the walls! Yesterday (her first day of life!) she...

Latte suprised us yesterday with a little fuzzy bundle! Yikes! I took some video of Baby... can you help me sex it? I am thinking girl, but would love some expert opinions. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ8Qn5lcgm8&context=C3d7552fADOEgsToPDskJIaYR-Alqb15ojFmLtqBAA

So I can't confirm, but I think I might be Christine's biggest fan (and customer :youwoman:). I don't want to get in any more trouble for posting my raves for her work on her classified threads, so I am starting my own!!! Here are some of the goodies she has made for me lately! A custom...

So I kinda feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Since I rescued Daisy May and Pippin I have learned SO much about chinchillas and just think they are great. Once I learned about beiges I was in love. Secretely coveted every one I saw. Never thought I would have one though b/c I figured...

Anyone have one? Would love to see pics of them set up. Thinking about one of their medium townhomes. Thanks!

Christine (Twilight Chinchillas) is my hero!!! After 2 adorable but apparently to-fragile-for-my-Princesses fleece houses, I accepted that my girls are fleece seam eaters :rolleyes2:. I needed to get them a wooden hidey house. Christine made this!!!! It is more than I could have even...

Daisy May and Pippin have a new summer retreat!!! Actually it is their evacuation cage. We are in a high wildfire zone, so we need to be prepared. For an evac cage, it is kind of huge I guess. But it is getting pretty hot (for CO) around here so I am going to keep this one if the basement...

I took the girls to the vet for the first time yesterday. I got a great recomendation from Lynnandthechins! Nothing was wrong, just wanted to establish a relationship. Aside from an ugly drive (I had to leave my mountain, not too many exotic vets up here) that took an hour, it went great...

So I troll Craigslist pretty frequently. Just in case a great cage comes up, for the most part (who wouldn't want an extra FN lying around). I am really not ready (read "Hubs will kill me") for a new chin. CL is CL and I know there will always be chins on there. But I have seen 2 or 3 ads...

So it is getting warm here this week. We live on a mountain at 8200 feet, so it usually isn't too bad at all. I have two granite tiles and some frozen water bottles in the girls' house. They almost never use them. In fact one still loves curling up in her fleece tube! Should I not...

Would you keep Critical Care (or another supplement) in your emergency evacuation kit? Is there something I should give the girls in time of stress and change???

So the girls ate their new hidey house. They didn't eat a hole into it, they ate the stitches out of it. Took a whole seam right out (efficient little critters) and started in on another one. Can I just sew it back together or now that they know there are seams (string) in there will they...

The girls' cage is on a hardwood floor. I got them the Pink Princess wheel and it is great. But when they run on it the cage does rock. Any ideas on how to eleminate (or reduce) the amount of cage rock??? Thanks!

So I think I have my own source of grape vine cuttings... in the middle of the mountains of CO! Yay! I know the rule is NO fresh veggies or fruit, but my friend also offered some fresh grape leaves if I want them. Can chins eat those?????

So I made my girls this... In their house... Princess Pippin Not bad for a gal who hasn't touched a jig saw in like 20 years, eh?!?!? It is more open than a hidey house. Has a pillow in the bottom and I am going to cut a piece of marble for the top as a chiller (it is snowing like a...

I have NO idea where I should put this question, so please move if necessary. So I have noticed that a lot of the "show" chins have tiny metal tags in their ears. When I got Pippin I noticed she has a notch in her right ear... pretty much where I have seen those tags. You can see it here...

So today we received TWO packages in the mail for Daisy May and Pippin. One was from Essentia, with our first package of Chin Salad. The girls got a little pinch. I wouldn't say they snarfed it, but they did like it. (Give them a break... a month ago they were eating guinea pig food...
