Yes, one of my females run until she is out of steam. Then she lays down for a bit, you need to keep an eye on it though because you don't want to have a heat stroke on your hands. If he ever has a heat stroke he will be lethargic/not moving. What I do in those situations (only been in one) I...

I am a member of plenty of forums and even someone admitted to breeding a sugar glider without lineage. They were very respectful and went about it in a way to help the owner. I just feel that some of the postings were very rude towards the owner of the male chinchilla. I am entitled to my...

I thought some of the postings on here were harsh/rude. Instead of prosecuting him, rather inform him. You do not know if he does not have a pedigree for his male. Also if he used the term "girlfriend" I don't see a problem with it. Just my opinion.

You can store it in the fridge to prolong the expiring process and keep it in an air tight container. :)

Sorry for the HUGE picture. I am trying to shrink it down. :)

Hi, I have recently had 2 chinchillas surrendered to me. A male and a female pair. The woman said she was unable to feed them and they haven't been fed in about 1 week very casually over the phone, after that I knew I had to rush over there. They were skinny but they were normal bouncy...

Hi, I have bred chinchillas for a few years and I decided I want to embark on a new adventure. I am getting a beautiful 9 week old female hedgehog from a breeder on Saturday. Since this is my first hedgehog I have a couple of questions before I bring her home. 1st question: Caging, I see many...

I would describe a backyard breeder as someone that doesn't care about their chinchillas. Breeding to try to make profit, and not getting them vet checked if needed. I wouldn't describe someone that breeds a petstore chinchilla a backyard breeder, just not knowledgeable about the dangers of...

I would never buy from a mass producing exotic pet store. I do have an exotic pet store near me that only buys from breeders. She does not buy from puppy mills, she breeds her own STOs, Hamsters, and Degus. She buys chinchillas from a breeder in CA she also buys hedgehogs, reptiles, amphibians...

Thank you all for your warm welcomings! I absolutely love this site and all the people here are very compassionate and caring. I am so happy to be apart of this site. Thanks again :)

Thanks guys for your help! It was a brief call so I will definitely call her back to get the details about why he had passed. I am just looking out for my kits and I wouldn't want them to get hurt in anyway, she had said she had him for 6 months but he was 4 years old. She sounds like a great...

Also if it is in the wrong section please transfer it to the right one, I couldn't really find a good section to put it in. Thanks, John

Hi, I had a woman call me today saying that her chinchilla died today and she wanted to buy a new one. She said that he was 4 years old and she had to put him down. I am not sure if I should sell a kit to her so I would love your help. Do you think it would be okay to sell a kit to her if I...

Chinchillas are better than any pet I have ever had, they had taken over my world and I'm absolutely fine with that. Chinchillas are fairly easy to take care of if you are an animal lover. Requirements: 1 Hour of Play House Temperature at 72 (They can get a heat stroke and die in temps 80 or...

Hi, I am a small hobby chinchilla breeder from Las Vegas, Nevada. We breed to improve the health of chinchillas. Not to mention how adorable kits are! We have a zoo in our house. Here are our pets :) Our Chinchillas Mary Pink-White Female Joseph Standard Male Speedy Gonzalez Hetero Beige...

It varies from chin to chin. Some of my chinchillas love to roam around with Almond my guinea pig. But a territorial male (that is kept alone as a pet) had gotten out and pulled her hair out. Thank goodness that it wasn't that bad (because she is a texel). Be careful when introducing them and...

I would definitely sell your male and maybe keep the 3 females as pets? If you would like to continue breeding be sure to find a pair of chins with pedigrees so the mysterious deaths will not happen. I am sorry for your loss its always heart breaking when a chin dies. Good luck :)

Congrats! How exciting :)

" We also have a large hutch, litter box, locking food & water bowls, 2 tiers for his hutch, food, hay and hay trough, and aforementioned special towel. ONLY $20.99-but if you call in the next 24 hours, it's only $20!!!! " I guess Billy Mays uses craigslist also.

He definitely needs a vet waiting is a death sentence for him. Please take him to a vet chinchillas deteriorate quickly.
