This is about Strangles, also known as Equine Strep and one of the most rapid-spreading contagious diseases known to horses. This started in CA and is now running around almost every state in the U.S. wiping out unknowing and unlucky herds and not even a PEEP out of people. There is no cure...

I built this for people looking for breeders near them. It can be updated by anyone; Instructions (it's really easy) https://support.google.com/maps/answ..._topic=1687289 ChinsNHedgies Map Login is [email protected] password is HedgehogsandChinchillas You don't need to put in your...

I've been asked how to do this a couple of times so made a video. First, take them apart -> Video Then throw them in a cup or container full of vinegar, I use apple cider vinegar. If they are as bad as the one in the video soak them overnight. Then shake/stir them vigorously to knock as much...

When you get a new chinchilla, give them a couple of weeks to adjust to their new home. Fill the entire bottom of the cage with the bedding you are going to use in the litter pan. Do not clean the cage for a week. Watch where they pee. There needs to be pee in there for them to be...

For those that use a watering system how do you clean them, and how often? I've been taking mine apart yearly and cleaning them all by hand. I do use filtered water but I'm sure bacteria still grows in the line because sometimes one will smell when I have to restart (suck on) it. I...

Eegads, I knew the rates were going to go up but to send a flat rate box out of the country jumped $10! Anyone else getting bit by the jump?

All of this little girl's photos in one spot for Brenda. For those that picked up some of Ronda's tan lines when she sold out this is very common. The whiter they are as a baby and at 10 weeks and the darker the tail hair - this little girl's was black - the darker they will be as adults. :))

What I would like to do here is help people understand how to set oneself up to achieve a goal over multiple generations. If you follow my posts you'll see that I talk a lot about different types of colors within a specific mutation like whites, beiges and ebonies. How different white lines...

I would love to chat with anyone that has worked with standard/mutation fur under a microscope. I've amassed quite a collection and would love to compare notes. Thanks!

This year I have a date, Jan 16th for 6-8 days. I just discovered that Disney and Universal are separate parks, any advice? Should I stay at one hotel for the entire time or book two hotels close to each park? We will most likely be driving but airfare is pretty cheap too. Depends on how...

Finally broke my male streak. I was stoked to see a Black Velvet, double stoked it was actually a GIRL! Then when I pulled her out for pictures today I saw the last 1/2" of her tail is white. :hearts: So cute. For the curious, I've had an 87.5% male birth rate this fall. I got the idea...

This came up in a recent thread and I thought it would be a great debate topic. :)) Do you feel it is appropriate to hand feed kits? If you do, do you feel it affects genetics to allow continued poor production of milk from generation to generation? For those that have chosen to supplement...

Anyone know of any brewing?

I've finally developed a nice fluffy cookie recipe that is chewy in the center. Notes: I am at 22ft above sea level, adjustments may need to be made for higher altitudes. 350 @ 10-14min 1 C. Brown Sugar 2 eggs or replacements (I use 2TBS ground chia seeds + 6TBS water mixed together and let...

I know the job market is still declining in some places. Would you be adventurous enough to move to find a job? This area has always had more jobs than people even through the 'recession'. Now it's ridiculous, pretty much everywhere you go there are signs up. Someone noticed and put a...

I took some pictures of this beautiful young homo beige's eyes. Traditionally my beiges have had slit pupils. This one is from Ronda and has round pupils, and they look really cool. I love the variety of colors chinchilla eyes come in. Anyone else have any cool eye closeups?

Another thread made me wonder about chins getting attached to other pets in the household. About 15 years ago I got my first chin. He was an only guy and got very attached to Evil Kitty and myself. When she died of cancer he cried and moped for weeks. Thankfully it was during finals and I...

What did and didn't work, and why? Why did you choose to go with what you are using now? How much of it do you go through vs. your quantity of chins?

Would you donate to a rescue that is not 501c3? (501c3 is non-profit) How do you feel about rescues that are for-profit? I am curious because in the next site rebuild Ronda would like to set up a donations page for products and funds dedicated to chinchilla rescues. What I have run into is...

I pass these when I walk around town and I'd love some for my yard. Does anyone know what they are? Both pictures are from the same plant.
