Long shot, but does anybody know the name or contact information of a chinchilla breeder who actively bred a while ago (not anymore, I don't believe) in Vermont, who also did rabbits? She had a rather unique first name that I could never pronounce correctly. VT isn't a big breeder state so there...

So now that it is getting nice and hot out here I'm trying to make my house a little more comfortable for the chins. My air stays on a good temp and their room always stays a little cooler. The issue is that their room get a ridiculous amount of sunlight so I think I need to put curtains or...

I'm needing to purchase a 6-hole carrier before my move in late December, and I was wondering if the flat Ryerson-style carriers or the stacked carriers are better. The stacked seems best for traveling, since my dog and hamster also have to be in the car to save room. I am worried about it...

Since I've started working at home I've had a lot of down time on the computer. I read a couple blogs regularly, but I thought it would be nice to share some favorites, I always love new material. I read best of craigslist and visit most of the I can has cheezburger sites. Also read...

I've had chins for almost three years now. NEVER have I seen such an issue with loose hair. I moved mine back down to my dining room from their own room because their window AC was leaking. Cranked my own central air because it is pretty hot here. Every morning, there is a layer of hair over...

We moved into our new apartment in February, when it was nice and cool. I got to keep the chins in the dining room area, easily visible from the living room and kitchen. When it started getting really hot about a week and half ago, we had to put them in their own room with an A/C, since our...

I've love to see pictures of every ones dogs! This is Macy, our English Setter. She is from the shelter, we are at least her 3rd home at 3.5 years old. Luckily she has settled in well here. These were before here (very traumatic!) bath experience, but she didn't look too bad. And these...

Anybody seen this? I was a little disappointed, but it gets filed in the "cute" category for me. I enjoy 3-D movies so this was a chance to see another one, but I wouldn't have spent the money if I knew how I felt about it now. Animation was great, though. And Seth Rogan was, as always, very...

In 2006 I had 7 chins dumped on me by my ex boyfriend. That is when I started leaning about them - and I had to do it in a short time. These are pictures from the first time I saw the chins he owned, before they came into my care. Hetero beige male (still have) and standard male (rehomed)...

I'm curious, what kind of cell phone/smart phone do you have, and what carrier do you use? What do you like/not like about your phone? We upgraded two of our Verizon lines at the beginning of the month. We purchased LG Versas. I had the LG enV2 before, and he had the LG enV in green. We both...

Does anybody have a printable care sheet I can use? I've run into somebody with chinchillas who is asking me a million questions, which I have no problem answering - but they don't seem to be absorbing it like they would if they could look over the info anytime. They don't have internet. I've...

Does anybody know who BD is? Bob Smith is BD89, but I just have BD on this one pedigree. They are descendant of a Wisconsin Chinchillas' chin. I also have "VIN" - all I can think of is Somavia, but his is QS.

This question is more for breeders that depend on adding outside stock to their herd, and for large breeders who sell herd improvement animals. Pet people please chime in too. Has the condition of the economy, unemployment rates, etc - kept you from purchasing new animals (or for big breeders...

My fiance is a big Chicago fan. Cubs, Bears, Bulls, etc. I'm allowed to buy all the printed fleece I want with the logos, so I guess my boys are Chicago fans too. I know a lot of you are probably Packers fans, but try to look at the chin, not the fleece :p Now if only I could find a...

So we have the original Ferret Nation, and then the Feisty Ferret. The Critter Nation (made by the same company that makes the FN) just came out a few months ago, and now we have the Marshall "Estate" Cage :rolleyes: 1" longer, .2" wider, and 3" shorter. $20 more expensive on Ferret.com. My...

I went to Home Depot today and left empty handed because I just couldn't figure out what the appropriate tubing would be. I was wanting to use PVC, but the 4" pipe looked a little tight. The thinner stuff was better, though still 4", but only came in like 8' segments. It didn't look like the...

How old is your oldest chin? I have a soft spot for seniors, though my oldest is only 9. He is a beige from Kessler. (poetrue and mapache will know this guy!) His neck has definitely gotten a bit more "dippy" over the last 2.5 years I have had him... but he is a very sweet boy.

I wished they had made more chin-safe changes, especially since they have chins pictures. What do you think? Would you order it over the Ferret Nation? Still plastic, still the same (I think?) ramps. Just different bar spacing, you also don't have to use tools to put it together. Critter Nation

Ricky and I just moved up one floor in our complex, from a one bedroom (3 room apartment) to a townhouse. We moved into the 3 room (kitchen/living combo, bedroom, bathroom) because we knew this one was about to become available. Neighbors just moved into our old 3-room below. How do I know...
