Thanks for the clarification! And about the eyes, I'm sorry I didn't see your post before, but they have both been opening them fine. I think he was just tired. - Audrey

Wow, I didn't know that >.> So... what's the difference between a Wilson White, and a mosaic? Or is there O.o - Aaron

I love the idea. I'll have to do some looking, and see if I have any decent breeders anywhere in Texas. I have a feeling a road trip is in order :D - Aaron

I'm with Lilly, I love the idea of rescues. - Audrey

We got the chins from friends who could no longer care for them. They had previously purchased them from Petsmart. We live in a Military town, so that kind of thing happens a lot. Each of the chins is over 4 years old, and we've owned them for over 2, but you're right, we have no way of knowing...

First of all: shame on you Lillybabe. Berating another member is no way to get a point across, for all the good your advice may have done me, or someone else. Tunes: thank you so much. You've always been so helpful; I appreciate the advice, and will indeed abstain from filling the wishes of...

I have no background on our chins, as we rescued them ourselves from people who couldn't care for them. I'll be the first to say, but we've been incredibly blessed with them, as their tempermants are just incredible. I don't, nor will I ever consider myself a breeder. I'm trying to spread the...

Breeding is such a strong word. :P We're giving the babies we have to family and close friends, because EVERYONE loves our chins (and who doesn't?) We have over a dozen people on our list at the moment, and plan to keep between 4 and 8 ourselves as pets. So, I'm not concerned with having runs...

Totally agree!

I had great luck with hamsters as a child :\ I was surprised when my wife brought home Spunky, 'cause she's not a rodent fan :D Well... so she thought.

I thought this would be the best place to post this. So, we have 2 new babies in our home right now. We used to have Spunky/Minnie in our large cage, and Demon by himself (Spunky is super territorial with Minnie.) Since Minnie has had her babies, and we've seperated her and the babies out of...

Our chins love to lay on their side on their marble slabs, and for no reason. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. I caught Spunky on his back the other day dead asleep :P - Aaron

Negative or not, I(we) appreciate the feedback. On the same token, what does everyone here use? Glass mainly, I assume? Any suggestions? - Aaron

Oh, thank you! We performed very quick self-assessments of the breeds :) -Audrey

We're pretty stoked. -Audrey

I'm a huge fan of 1/2" x 1" wire, as if babies ever become an issue, you'll be set. I believe you wanna use 1/2" x 1/2" for the bottoms for their feet, but don't quote me on that. Hopefully AZChins will weigh in a bit :) - Aaron

Critter Nation My wife and I are getting our CN in on Wednesday, so I'll be able to weigh in a bit better then. I will say that in the 10ish hours of research I've done into cages, I've found the that CN's are nothing short of amazing, and other than hand-crafting one specific to your needs...

Thank ya! Thank you for your concern! No, it's not recent :) She's in a single story cage with no ledges, away from daddychilla. We're re-introducing at the end of next week, so fingers crossed! And yes, dad's cage is baby ready, thanks to all the wonderful advice you guys have given us. -...

Birthday! Our bebbies have the same birthday!! SQUEE! - Audrey, mommy of Spunky, Minion, and Demon. And now Gizmo(B1, 3-25) and Scrat(B2, 3-25)!!

Jealous! First of all, lemme say that I'm incredibly jealous that you got to visit the Shoots' farm. Like... wow. Now that that's outta the way, I really only have 2 tidbits to add. My chinchillas "cry" when they are super happy or excited, like when we open the cage door, or even just say...
