They do have pedigrees. Yes. I only recently got the girls. I have the boy since he was 12 weeks. There was a quarantine before the initial vet appt. I then kept the girls separated to avoid stress. Now they are in the boys *room*. Since he seems the less dominant one. I am more...

Yes . The potential was to bond and breed. I am financially stable, with ample space and extra rooms I keep neutral rooms strictly for bonding (and reading). and I have done more research on breeding, pre and post natal care for the female, and the housing requirements than I have on bonding...

Hello folks. I'll try to keep this on point and as specific as possible. My 7 m.o. male chinchilla is housed alone, and my new 3 m.o. and 10 m.o. females are together. The girls bonded on the ride home and are fine. I have been switching items in their cages for scents. I let the boy run alone...

Must we always quarantine the newcomer? Is there noticeable damage if we go straight to same room neighbors.... Not side by side.... But same room? Is the *damage *irreversible if we skipped the quarantine to process? Or should I just remove the two new girls from the boys room and then try...

Thanks shenanigans for the concern. I am aware of the breed back potential and I would keep Cake separated from Brody for at least 2 to 3 months after the birthing so the kits get the cage they need, while still being able to play with dad if he's a good father, but giving mom's body a...

Are they 3 boys or 2 girls and one boy? Guinness could be a girl too! : ) Congrats on their friendship! :)

The female has a pedigree as does the male :-) . As far as their personalities... This is still hard to say. Brody is normally hyper as ****. Last night he was scared to come out of his cage. Now he is back to his usual self before during and after playtime. I've only had the girls.. Who I...

Thanks folks! Such good advice. I have officially brought home the girls. (names coming soon). They are eating, drinking, and the babe is dust bathing. I have them in the same room as Brody. I have given him the option to exit his cage to play as usual and he is not wanting to come out...

adorbs The cuddle cup tutorial is extremely helpful! Thanks!:clap1:

Hello all. I am new to the hobby of 'chinchilla shows'. I was extremely interested in attending the upcoming chapter show in Auburn, IN; however, I will be having eye surgery the 1st and will not be able to attend. How often are there "shows" in the Midwest area? Must I bring my own...

Hey Tunes! Thanks for a speedy response. I googled the Ryerson advice and this is what i found... http://www.ryersonchinchilla.com/110702_037.jpg ^^ Is that what you're talking about for emergency transport? As far as a 3-4 hole carrier...are you talking about one for small animals or is the...

Gotcha! Thanks Thanks tunes. That is very insightful. I definitely would not want the baby to be pregnant that early. No way. Are you suggesting I attempt to bond the girl first after my return home? The car ride is 3.5 hours back and I have a for one and a cardboard pet transfer box for...

Hello all! This is my first post on this site...so be patient with me :) I currently have my 9 month old male (not neutered) chinchilla. This Sunday, I plan on bringing home 2 new additions to add to the chin loving family . One is a 15 month old female, and the other is a 9-12 week old female...
