I know this is a long shot, some of you may remember me. I had to sell my herd several years ago due to autoimmune issues. Some of my favorite chins were "sold" (money still owed) to JoEllen Wiese here in Nebraska. She later sold them and I was not notified. I would have wanted some of them...

I will be letting my website lapse at the end of this year. I am offering the chance for anyone who would like to use the information on the site to do so as long as it is credited to Rivendell Chinchillas. If there is information or pictures that are not mine, then they will be credited to the...

I have about 5 fur ads out of old magazines for Empress furs. $10 shipped in a shipping tube if anyone is interested! I also have an old brass chinchilla cup trophy, $20 plus shipping if anyone is interested in it. The engraving is light and it's boxed already, but it's a breeder cup for NCBA...

Anyone have issues with having their wisdom teeth pulled? I have mine pulled over 3 weeks ago now. I am on several drugs for some health issues two of them who's side effect is immune system suppression, the other one's main purpose is immune system suppression. The oral surgeon knew about...

Well not here. But here is a kit out of a pair I set up and she was bred when she went to JoEllen's! A black female out of a recessive white female and a black male, so she'll be a great asset to JoEllen's RW program! There was another pic or two but I couldn't get them off my phone and onto my...

If you own these animals bred by me, I have their Empress registration certificates if you want them! ;) I'm sure some of them have been resold, or possibly lost, but if anyone here does have them I'd be glad to send them these certificates from their show registration! :D

Many of you know me although I've not been able to be online a lot lately between finishing nursing school, work, health issues and family issues with my oldest daughter's half sister being diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 4 years old this year.... I also said that I would never sell. I...

Someone else posted about adding on to a CN/FN from the old style to the new. It is possible, but you have to have the right equipment. I didn't think to get pics but we did this just the other day on an old style FN, I added a 1/2 section of a new style CN to the top for a 3 tier. To do so you...
