Also interested in a Violet wrap male if I can't find a tan :)

A chin running loose would probably urinate on the floor as well......not pleasant if your floors are carpeted!

Still got my eyes out for a tan!

Still looking for one more saucer! :)

I have one flying saucer and my chins do LOVE it. I tried it with each one to see if they would indeed run on it before deciding it was okay to invest in more. I'm looking to get two more saucers so if anyone has one they don't need please contact me.

I would love to add a tan chinchilla to my family. The darker the better, I would prefer a male with good size and conformation...I love the big chinnies! I'll take a female if I can't find a male though. I'm more concerned with good health and a dark coat than anything else. I'm located in...

In my area the prices for chin food have gone up a bit, I also noticed they quit carrying manna pro sho so now I feed just the pro. Also cat and dog food has jumped a few dollars over the months.

When Milo is content he'll "smile", if I talk to him while he's smiling he sometimes winks at me!

Out of my chins I think Molly tops them all in doing the dumbest things. She tried to "get away" from me by first running like crazy on her flying saucer, she tripped on her own feet flew off and ran frantically for her ledge where she miscalculated her jump and fell flat on her belly with her...

The females I have, have all had at least two litters before I got them and they can safely pass kits. They are of good size, they look a lot heavier than they weigh, lol. I guess the weight loss can be attributed most to all the exercise I give them. Honestly if it weren't for the scale I would...

Thank you Shahna, those pictures are great! No worries I WILL get a mentor to make sure I'm on the right track, this forum has been so helpful and has really cleared up the gray areas on the types of set ups I can have and treating the chins as breeders and not so much as pets.

Thank you Tunes & Volunteerchin22!! I never let my females out if they've been with a male, better safe than sorry! I love them as pets and breeders but I see I can't have both at the same time, looks like I'm not going to get my cake and eat it too in this situation. Does the same rule apply to...

Okay, I've read quite a bit on breeding chins and how they should be at least 600g to breed or more, I've heard some people say that they will use smaller males to jump start a slow producing female. My question is, if you breed chins but have them in a colony set up and they get lots of outside...

Didn't really know where to put this, but I'd just like to share a little story working at a veterinary hospital. Well I worked at that vets hospital for about a good two years or so and I have to say it REALLY got on my nerves when the vet techs would insist on me putting my chins in water to...

I'm 21yrs old and have 6 chins. Milo, my first chin, I purchased when I was 17
