This isn't my chin, but he clearly has an eye problem. People talk about eye issues when a chin has malo. Is this what they look like? I'm guessing it could also be an eye infection or irritated eye. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/for/2062548449.html The sad thing is that these chins...

I have a rescue girl who came with a 15 inch Chin Spin, but a big section of the powder coating has come off on the running surface. A section probably 10 inches long and three inches wide is missing. There are random dots of powder coating throughout the big hole. The wheel is only two years...

An ad on Craigslist got me thinking again about chins and other animals. I know I've read that you need to keep chins and rabbits totally separate due to pasteurella. This ad on Craigslist implies a local rescue is doing otherwise -- and potentially keeping chins with other types of "exotics."...

I'm getting word of a new raid going on at a Petco, Petsmart, Petland, etc. distributor at Sun Pet in Atlanta today. It's apparently very similar to the one at Arlington, and the info comes from another Peta worker's experiences working at the facility. I haven't heard if there are chins...

I'm going to start a new thread and not invade Sumiko's, and I guess it best fits in this same category. I'm new at selling chins and would like to know how many people have had someone have a necropsy done on an animal they sold and had the cause of death determined? I know I get shot when I...

(Note: moved from this thread: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12506&page=2 ) Chinchillas are judged much like any other small animal species. Yes, the pelt is judged, but more than the pelt is judged too. Chin shows do use different terminology, but the concepts are...

Instead of entirely hijacking the California show thread, I'm going to move my post to this new thread. It is a continuation of a discussion started at http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11036&page=2 Thank you! That's a definition that I have a good feel for. And this...

There is a post in the classified offerring rose buds, and I've seen many ads for rose hips. What's the difference between the two (although I know what rose buds are)? Are these consider treats or part of a good diet? Linda

I am happy to have this list as a resource to help the chins I have accepted responsibility for. I first took on some rescue chins. Then I adopted an adult pedigreed breeding pair when the owner chose not to keep them any more. Now I am taking on a new rescue pair that someone on this list...

Many of the sales ads refer to a chin as being either "proven" or "not proven." This leads me to believe that a noticeable percentage of chins never produce. 1. Is producing kits a significant issue in chins in general? In approximately what percentage of chins do we find this as an issue...

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms, but what is the difference between the Empress Chinchilla Breeders Cooperative, Inc. and the Mutation Chinchilla Breeders Association? Linda

I was reading this thread http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?p=115277#post115277 And saw this quote within it. I am very interested in this information and decided it was best to start a new thread. Better understanding the research that led to the conclusion that malo is...

There's only a low probability that I'll be able to attend Nationals, but I wanted to check out when and where it will be. After reading the info on the MCBA site, I have some questions. (Sorry this got so long.) 1. I can see that a pelt show precedes the live animal show. I had never heard...

I was just reading the Mansfield post and wanted to better understand the claiming process. For instance, at what point in the show can animals be claimed. Who can claim them and how are prices set. How is claiming money split assuming that at least both the owner and the show-sponsoring...

Someone gave me a blue lava ledge for my chins. Is it safe? Linda
