I didn't see a color forum started yet, and I have been trying to find an answer on different breeder sites, but can't seem to. From what I'm understanding, the only real difference is that a white ebony carries ebony gene. I don't see a significant appearance difference but please correct me if...

I have a year+ old female and a 9 month old male who have been together since he was about 3 months old. My female is pretty dominant so introducing them took some time, but now they eat and sleep together. I know male chinchillas sexually mature faster than females, and I was hoping by now they...

I've never had a baby chin before, so I'm not sure what to expect. The other day I drove to Alabama to pick up my 9 week old beige mAle. He is tiny and precious and his name is Peanut (or Winston!). I held him the entire drive home, he was very calm and mostly slept (he is a baby after all)...

I was originally using a Tupperware cup to hold Olives hay in. She continuously knocked it over, so I tied a different tray with holes in it, to her cage. But now she's using that as a second potty. Keep in mind that were working on finding a hay she likes, she doesn't seem very interested in...

So this is not a BreeDING question as much as a breeDER question. I am about to drive my happy self to Alabama to pick up a kit. It seems that we are meeting in a possible parking lot. My question is, as a breeder, what do you feel is the proper way to sell your kits? Do you welcome potential...

This is something Olive does from time to time, it happens most often when she seems "confident" (ie letting me touch her or wanting out of her cage). She sort of hugs my hand/fingers but doesn't really do anything with them. Anyone know what this is?? http://youtu.be/J8NHv5HSIvE Thanks in...

So, I looked around on the forum for some general ideas of what's going on, I haven't found much. Olive has been itching for a couple days now. She uses her feet, rolls around the cage, and even gets under her wheel and uses it as a back scratcher. I looked at her skin, it is a normal flesh...

Hello, I'm Natalie from Georgia, and I joined the forum because I have recently bought my second chinchilla. However my first chinchilla was from when I was very young, so I'm considering myself a "first time" owner ;) I have already posted quite a bit, but I suppose I haven't actually...

So of course, this is all hypothetical, but I've suddenly become very interested in showing over night ;) Mostly because it seems fun, and the chinchilla community has proven sparse in my area so far. I understand you can bring any sort of chinchilla. No pedigree or lineage, just pick one up...

So before I begin, let me be clear. I understand there is no "number one" brand of food. Chinchillas are individual and the best food for them depends on them. However, I would love to know which brand *you* prefer! I bought some "Sunburst" Brand, which has a lot of pellets and whole grain, but...

Hello guys, I got my second chinchilla last night. However, my first chinchilla I had when I was younger, and I barely remember anything about her, so I'm definitely considering myself a new chin owner! So as I was reading some threads, I decided to name this cutie Olive. She's black velvet, I...
