I was 14, I had to earn my own money (mostly by chores) to buy Mr. Chin, I also took 6 months to wait and pick out the perfect one!!
PS- there is a huge difference in 14-16, and 17-20. If anything the categories should have broken down the younger years into more groups and done big blocks for...
It was great fun last weekend, I loved being able to hang out afterwards this year to get to know people better. =D
I was also a bit star struck by Gary, it's cool to meet long time breeders! Can't wait for next year, muhahaha...
Also, if you get small bags of hay from petstore it tends to be old and tastless, I get bags of hay from a feed store that gathers hay from the big bales, it's only 7$ for enough to last me a month with 6 adult chins. It's fresh and smells sweet and they pounce on it. They also waste about half...
Oh the other thought I had is that, in humans if the pupil (normally black) is solid white, it's called leukocoria and it can be from birth defect too, several causes from cataract, detached retina, to tumors ect.
Sounds like a defect in formation. The brain and eye are connected so a defect in one can be linked to a defect in the other. They are likely blind if it's totally white And possibly deaf too. I found a picture of a guinea pig with microphthalmia, does the white eye look similar...
Well I checked when I got home last night, it was a white female, and she had a second white girl! 66g and 55g. :dance3:
It was poor lighting but I got a few more pics.
So my poor breed back female was on kit watch and due tomorrow, when I was checking water bottles this morning I got to see her birth a kit! I had to run to work so idk if there were multiples and I didn't check the kit yet.
Baby started nursing the second mom cut her loose though! I think I...
Female fleece is the best kind of fleece. Also if it smells like pee then it's pee (also if it's light fabric the pee would be orangey) when dried I notice pee can be crusty. I only have girls with fleece items atm though so I could only relate that. :P
I have 2 beige chinchilla charms left over from the WA branch ECBC show. 100% proceeds go to the branch, if shipping is less than posted I will also refund the difference. USA shipping only (well unless you want to pay the shipping!)...
I have a standard female kit to sell to a loving pet home. Born Nov 1, 2014 and available in mid January.
I hold her and her sisters 15 min+ a day as often as possible to acclimate them to people (besides that's the fun part of breeding!) So she is friendly. This girl has a sweeter more timid...
