Thank you for the help. We love the chins . I asked the breeder and he said that his 13 year old daughter has been caring for the 18 chins he still has and she didn't separate the litters in the colony. He admitted it was a mistake that wouldn't have happened when he was actively breeding...

Sorry if I offended with the color/pelting comment. My friend who sold me the 3 Chins is interested in the genetics of breeding unusual colors. He told me this is considered a no no in Chin circles especially because pelts need to be of uniform colors for coats. He used to breed calico...

Tiles I love the tiled floors! I bought one tile of marble for my 3 girls but didn't think of a whole floor. The cutting would be tricky though. Your chins cages are real cute. I have let my 21 year old daughter set up our cage since she has researched all the heights and requirements. We...

Thank you Thanks for the info. I do not know how to start a thread. I am experimenting to learn how to post. When I click on reply it lets me fill in this message. I use an Apple Netbook because it is easy to understand but this is the first blog I have tried. I am not ignorant in other...

Colony vs fostering I am confused. The breeder told me he colony breeds by keeping 3 females together and placing a male in with all three until he thinks they have all bred. He said they usually deliver at roughly the same time and will nurse each other's kits. He did this for a few years...

2 males If Puff is pregnant it was not intentional on the breeders part. There were 5 kits housed together. Two females and one male were born in December. One female and one male were born in March. The females are all full sisters and I purchased all three. The 7 month old male was from a...

third kit It is no comfort now but in the future if you can breed two or three chins together they will deliver at the same time and usually will feed each others kits. Since some only have one kit and some three, The average works out fine for the milk supply. This is called colony breeding.

Meanie Relatives You are a sweet, kind woman and he sounds mean as mud. You will never pacify him because his bullying you is just his way of covering his own lack of self esteem. If you asked him I bet he is unaware that he is cruel. He would probably say "I was just teasing, can't you take...

wedding dinner Yes, you gave a great gift, especially since they are just serving ice cream. Growing up as a Navy kid I had to take etiquette classes and that is where I learned about gifting. My mom also worked as a White House volunteer for Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush sending out cards...

Chin sale It sounds like the woman is lying through her teeth and taking advantage of you. Since she is collecting chins so quickly she must be planning on breeding so she must have money for cages which cost more than the chins. As a breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs I know that...

hula Very creative!

Gift :hmm::hmm:Yes , if you attend you should give a gift that if you can afford it will at least be equal to the cost of your meal. 25 years ago it cost $55.00 a person for my wedding reception with a sit down dinner. It would be more now but in a small town or for a buffet less. If you...

I just purchased three female Chinchillas from a local breeder. They are sisters from a December litter and an April litter. The beige girl and the ebony girl could possible be pregnant since they have been living with 2 males that were also born in December. What age do Chins reach puberty...
