Thanks for the response! I tried calling around to a few farms in the area, but being in Metro Detroit they're all a little far. One is near the TSC we buy everything from though, so hopefully they'll get back with us soon!

What do those of you with larger herds do with your waste bedding? In the past we've placed it in lawn bags for it to be picked up weekly by the compost truck. New to this summer our city changed when they're picking up these bags. They just suspended this service last week without notice! We...

I'll be there tomorrow. It's our first show, so we're more going to see what it's all about, buy some chins, and see what we have to do to get some of ours into some shows next year. That was promising to hear ChinchillasByDesign that not all the good animals will be taken tonight! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. I have no idea what could have caused it. Neither of us have had pink eye or been in contact with anyone who has had it or any other eye illness. The only thing that we've changed in the routine with our chins since last October has been the dust. I think in the past year...

About three weeks ago we went down to Ohio to buy some dust. We talked about eventually showing our chins, hopefully during next year's season. We had previously been using Blue Sparkle, but we were told that the judges preferred to see Blue Cloud dust on the chins. We ended up spending the...

We're excited to be there! With working weekends we've never been able to make it to shows, so this will be our first. We're not bringing any chins to show, but maybe a couple to sell. Is that okay? We'll probably start showing chins next year when we have more of an idea of what goes on.

Welcome! We just joined recently too! Your chins look awesome! You did a great thing pulling Leeloo out of that pet store! Did you get her name from The Fifth Element?

Hi lauralynne, momenteller, and chinchillanerd! Thank you for the warm welcome! Jags, thanks for the info! I'll get it in the mail today or tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to commit to carpooling for the ECBC meeting. If the weather is good (fingers crossed!) I'll be flying myself out...

Hi, Becky! We're really excited to go to the claim show! We're really looking forward to it! We usually can't make it to shows because of work schedules. We usually don't find out about them until it's too late to take the time off or until a week or so after they've passed. We're also going to...

Hello! We just found this forum and saw it was incredibly active, so we decided to join! It's great to see such an active community of owners, breeders and enthusiasts! We run Detroit Chinchillas, located near Metro Detroit, MI. We have about 150 chins in breeding, plus a handful on reserve...

Hi! The info we have on it is that it's on October 27 at the American Legion hall on Trux Rd in PLymouth, OH. Registration is before 9am. I haven't heard anything official, just through the grapevine. We're excited to be there!
