I was talking to a rabbit breeder about this, but the practice certainly applies to chinchillas, or any animal/object really. How do you feel when you offer to buy a chinchilla (or whatever) from someone and their response is "make me an offer"? Is it better either for the buyer or seller to...

Had a litter born yesterday. At first, I thought the boy was just a bit stained from being born, but his odd color remains today. They are out of two pure standards - the girl is named Cherry and the cinnamon boy is Clover. It's different... I haven't seen a cinnamon in person before, so I...

Caught a mom going in to labor when I did my morning check today, so I stuck around and got to see the births of A30-32. Both parents are section champions so I'm looking forward to how these kits will turn out. A30, Standard SC male, 46g: A31, Standard SC male, 44g: Aaaannnd A32, White SC...

In April of last year, I put a run of X-year animals together. In December, none of the females had produced nor showed any signs of pregnancy, so I pulled the male and put the females with other proven males just to get them producing. Today, I found an expelled fetus for lack of a better...

The pictures are graphic, but it's not that dramatic, I just couldn't resist the title. I saw the mating and this litter was due tomorrow, Valentine's Day. However, I found her with one live kit and still in labor this morning. She was in hard labor and after a few minutes, when she was...

Three months away! The show will be April 9th at the Dover fire hall in Dover PA. All the info can be found on the chapter's website. As always, we are looking for raffle, trophy, and lunch donations. Please let me know if you would like to donate a trophy or raffle item and I will update...

I've been expanding my herd and I'm trying to figure out how many more cages I'm going to need to make/buy. I know the rule of thumb is 3 cages per breeding female (does that include the cage the female is in, or is it 3 cages in addition to the one the female is in?), but I was wondering what...

I was semi-watching The Good Guys last night and thought I heard Dan Stark mention chinchillas. I just checked now that the episode is up on Hulu, and he did! I love it when I hear chinchillas mentioned in entertainment media, however it's odd that it always seems to be for comedic effect...

Looks like Becky has gone into labor, there's spotting in the cage and I've seen a couple large contractions. Tonight may be the night!! Watch along with me: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fondas...ngs-kitten-cam

Since I bought my house and now have a couple spare rooms, I've been eager to foster cats again. I just got the call tonight that there was a mom-to-be and her 8 month old sister in need, so I rushed out to pick them up. I got them all set up and am leaving them alone for the rest of the night...

X10 and X11 arrived yesterday morning. Their mom is my T4, a 1A Standard SC - and this is my first litter out of one of my own animals. It's a small victory I guess, but I remember my first litter (which T4 was one of) and now my first "second generation," so it's exciting for me. =) This is...

I had Fool's Day kits as well, two males! They were trips but X5 was not alive when I found them. The fooling, however, was because I thought this mom was due, literally, a month ago. I kept watching and waiting as she got bigger and bigger until I looked ahead on my calendar and saw she had...
