So one of our girls (Eevee) eyes have been slightly watery. So we took her to the vet today to see what the vet would say. We thought our chosen vet would be ok with chins...since our old vet left. However, she really has me worried. We mentioned that we did not want males due to hair ring...

So we received a notice today that our apartment complex will be sprayed on the 12th to prevent insects. We are planning on taking the girls to my grandparents for the duration, but I am unsure how long we should wait before bringing them home. The apartment complex requires that the interior of...

Sooo my girls were out for playtime tonight and New Mexico is being over whelmed with moths right now. So a month flew down and landed on the ground. Thinking that the chins would just ignore the moth we ignored it, but one of the girls chased it down and ate its wings. She may have also taken a...

On a regular basis I go by the pet store in my city in New Mexico to look for leaping ledges and make sure that the chins are getting their baths...as well as picking up hay and looking for safe toys for my 3 girls. The last time I was in there, however, the owner of the shop told me a...

My honey loves to spoil our girls, so he is constantly on the lookout for a new treat of some type, since we love to mix up the treats that they get. We know that they love shreaded wheat, rolled oats, and dries rose petals. however, have a question on a new possibility that he recently picked...

Ok, can finally afford to get my girls a wheel and I can not decide which one would be best for them...and me. We have a FN142 and would like to minimize noise if possible. We are looking into the silver sauce, flying saucer, and chin spin. I like the silver sauce for it being all metal, plus...

OK, so my honey and I tried using KD pine shavings on our 3 chinchilla girls. We have found that we absolutely hate the smell and want to find something else. It is not that the shaving start to smell from the urine and ammonia therein, it is just the scent of pine. Is there anything else that...

First, I am really not sure I am in the right area so sorry if I messed up. Second, I need help trying to find a fleece that will match the one that I am wanting. I want to make double sided chinchilla hammocks with a solid print on one side and this...

I would LOVE to go to a show...but I am not seeing any that are closer than 20 hours, which would be more than a little painful without some plane tickets. Anyway, I was hoping that there might be something closer. I checked the MCBA and Empress websites, but Empress does not appear to show any...

So brought home my newest (and last) of my fur babies the other night. Put her in her temporary quarantine cage and ran to walmart for a few minutes to get some fleece to put under her house, since she looked so sad in there all by herself. We come home 30 min or so later and I plant myself in...

So I have been searching around the internet lately, because I would eventaully like to make toys for my honey's on my own. Now, however, I have a question. Where do people who sell chin toys/treats in bulk find their supplies to make such things? For the most part I have found that buying the...

So I have had Sasha now since early April. Since then I have habitually been searching craigslist looking for a bigger cage, hoping to find a FN. Unfortunatly I was not able to find a FN, but I did stumble across a chinchilla. I have known since we got Sasha that we wanted another one (Sasha is...

So I was messing around with the genetics calculator here, http://www.silverfallchinchilla.com/genetics/ChinCrossCalculator.aspx and have kind of an odd question. If you breed a standard to a violet you get a standard (violet carrier), if you breed a standard to a pure sapphire you get standard...
