    Baby surprise!

    So, now I don't care about my animals or care about educating myself on them? Have you not read my post? I did research on then for YEARS before i got my first chin. I'm closed-minded now also. Huh, that's a first. Again, it really seems like no one can comprehend what they are reading?

    Baby surprise!

    I'm not getting defensive. I have done research on them. For 2years before I even got one. When I said that about the dust its because in the research I've done, its has said moms cannot have a dust bath 2 weeks before and after birth. I was simply stating I was a little concerned about it. And...

    Baby surprise!

    Ok, again thanks for the advice, its not needed. No, I don't have him with them, or close to them. I was glad none the least that I have this new baby. He is the only baby I have. And as far as I know, daddy has no more kits. Again, I was happy I had the baby either way, and i wanted to share. I...

    Baby surprise!

    Also, no they are not pedigreed I wasn't trying to breed them. And I do know what their genetics are. I do ask these things when I get my chins.

    Baby surprise!

    Ok, when I got Daddy, I got him from a breeder who was getting rid of him because he couldn't breed. So as I am trying to find him the best choice to date mate him with, I found it to be very difficult because he would not get along with any of them. The only one he was getting along with was...

    Baby surprise!

    So, last night as I am playing with my chins, I notice one of my females is pregnant. Now I had her with a male who had been thought to not be able to well ya know. So, anyway, I feel her belly last night, and told my boyfriend she was pregnant. He agreed, however, this is her 2 litter, and I...

    Hurricane Sandy and Emergency preparednes

    We are in south central PA I am hoping not to get too bad of weather. We are preparing tho. I have my chins in 4 different cages, two are very very large, so tomorrow I am putting them in the two smaller more portable cages. Just incase I need to grab and go. I'm not really worried about them...

    making noises while out of cage and seems to be looking for something

    I agree with Kelly, it is way too soon for you to try to pick him up, it could ruin any chance at a bond with him. He may end up feeling threatend by you. A key way to help him warm up to is open up his cage and offer him a treat when he starts coming near you. After a bit of doing this slowly...

    Chinchilla Introductions

    Well chin intro can be tricky because all chins react different. And some times they just cannot be paired I have one like that, and another who will not get along with any of them but his cage mate. Fur pulling is a sign of aggression, however it is something they may do only at first. I would...

    fostering chins

    Lol, I do fear that already. But I chose to foster instead of run a rescue because I want to be able to spend enough time with them all, and still have time for my own chins as well. So if I just keep that in mind I think I will do just fine. I hope. lol. I have a soft spot for the furry little...

    fostering chins

    Any of the ones in PA has closed. Any that I did find. I want to work with a well established rescue. The one I found in Fredrick md seems amazing. They even cover the vet bills from my understanding. I am waiting for them to contact me back. I am so excited.Megan, I will deff look into that ad...

    passing on bad habits?

    Again, none of them are spraying me. They aren't doing it for any reason really. Just doing it. Lol. I just wanted to know if there were any tricks to breaking the habit.

    fostering chins

    So, this a continued post from my previous. I wanted to start a rescues, I got some advice from others on here who have done it, and they suggested fostering. I thought that was a great idea, so I started looking for rescues in my area. Sadly there are none in PA, however, there is one in...

    Are these two getting along?

    That's great to hear they are getting along now. :)

    Are these two getting along?

    I did watch past the first one, I just watched them again. And I do see what you're talking about. I still think over all though it is the smaller one. And again, I'm not saying she's not being intimidated but the larger one, but for the most the larger one does her own thing. The question here...

    a little help

    Wow, I do think that is a great idea. I don't know why I never thought Bout that. I do also like Barbs idea also, but I think starting off with fostering is the best idea. Thank you all sooo much! Now to just find a chin rescue near me...

    a little help

    Dawn, when I said the "rescues" that are in it for money, I was saying they aren't really rescues at all, just saying they are running a rescue to feel better about them selves. I also was very clear that u don't want to get over run and have too many that u won't have time for. I think you...

    a little help

    So I was considering breeding my chins. But then I see all the time so many chins who need foster homes, chins being put to sleep because of over population, and so forth. So, I am now wanting to get my chins fixed, and run a true rescue. I urnderstand how much time and money I will have to put...

    passing on bad habits?

    I know what it means when the spray. There is no need for me to separate any of them from their cage mates. None of them sprayed until I got one who did. It's not all the time and I do intervene if needed, my question is if there is anything other than splitting them up (again they are in pairs...
