A friend of mine is looking into getting a hedgie. I'm not sure the breeder is reputable. Is there anyone who would be able to help me find out if this breeder is reputable?

I have a 3 week old kit that Ihave had to sseparate from his mother. She has plenty of milk, he weighs 151 grams. But he has been very rough on her nipples and has caused sores. She bit him today and caused a cut on his lip and above his nose. I have started handfeeding, and he also is eating...

My daughters had two adult male rats. Shortly after we got them, the bigger of the two rats had to be put to sleep because of several large tumors. I purchased a 5 week old baby male rat from a breeder. It has been 9 weeks since we bought him. For the past 9 weeks we have been doing...

Kaluha, a vey small malnurished female came to me february 13th with a male and another female. She delivered a 56g kit on april 21st. We call him "button" .After two days of the kit losing weight, he dropped 8 grams, I fostered him out to an older female “peggy" who had littered a single kit 3...

Just thought id share some pictures of my girls China, Isis, and Chevellle! All were bred by Casey Craner. I tried to get a picture of the male that came with them but he has proven to be horrible at taking pictures! lol!

This might do better in the debate section but I'll post it here and if it needs to be moved i'm ok with that. I'm curious to know breeders opinions on breeding a female after a c-section. Now, lets assume this female had littered several times before with no problems. would you breed the female...

I absolutly love genetics, it fascinates me. I understand that when breeding mutations most breeders breed back to a good quality standard chin (either every other generation or every couple generations) because mutations tend to be weak and need the standard genes to maintian quality in the...

On October 22nd I picked up three female chins from a lady who had decided to stop breeding (Two of my pet chins I bought from her 3 years ago.) She had sold most of her herd, aside from the few she was going to keep. She had some unfortuante family issue arise and could no longer keep these...

I happened apon an add in a free classifieds website and found it very interesting. first, they are selling an extra dark ebony kit that they posted the day she was born. they said she is "rare" because extra dark ebony is "the rarest color in chinchillas". They want $350 for her! bunch of...

I was browsing ryersons website and saw a "runway fork" for chinchilla breeding runs, what is it used for? it looks very interesting

I was updating my list of information, and realized I didnt have the dosing Info for metacam. can anyone tell me the proper dosing?

I'm curious to the ritual of keeping pedigrees. 5 of my chins are pedigreed, three have immaculate pedigrees. info included on the pedigree is name, chin #, ranch brand, color, and any place they took in shows. this info is given for every "relative" on the pedigree. two of these chins I bought...

one of my chins has a very interesting behavior, she is very slow at waking up. I've only had her about 6 months and honesty it scares me to death. I'll see her lying on the floor of the cage completely on her side, as if she were dead. I say her name loudly.... she doesnt move. I open her cage...

I'm going to try and make this as short as possible, while still giving all information needed. about 3 weeks ago my friend called me and said her niece's chinchilla was acting funny. she told me they thought "he" was constipated because "he" would stand on his back feet and push really hard. I...

So...... Some one dropped off a RES at my house last night and she has some nasty injuries on her front legs. It looks like some thing (cage mates?) Were eating on her. I have her dry docked and let her soak four times a day. But I'm not real sure how to help her heal. The vet admitted to not...

Ariel is acting really strange. she had one kit two days ago (baby is doing great) mom is feeding baby and she herself (ariel) is eating, drinking and pooping just fine. But, when I put the hay in her cage she instantly scatters it all over. She normally loves hay and will start munching right...

Well ariel had one baby. I believe it is a girl..... I think. She weighed 74 grams! Mom and baby seem to be doing great! I'm guessing she is a standard, but mom is a black velvet. Any ideas on color?

I want to go to a show really bad! Can someone help me find out what shows are in my area and the dates? I live in southern idaho.... Thanks
