These are the 3 we got from Chinchilla Estates a couple weeks ago, please excuse the cages, they are just temp cages and are not what they are kept in! First is a Het Beige female Second is a Dark Ebony Violet Carrier Last is a Brown Velvet (she looks a bit ratty in this pic, she had JUST...

It is super hard not to... but you just have to think, most people who impulse buy never truly do the type of research they need, they don't think to ask a vets advice either, they just do what the pet store tells them and assume its right : / Thats most of the reason I do not work in a pet...

I actually contacted the people who had them today, she said that she did clip them because her son was playing with them and got food or gum stuck in their fur, and she didn't want to just clip the part that was gunky because they would look silly -.- it took a lot for me not to scream at her...

Well we ended up with 2 more chinchillas today (still picking up the three on Tuesday too!!) A friend of ours that breeds chins was on CL today and saw an ad for 2 chinchillas that she was pretty sure she sold to someone 2 or 3 months back. She contacted them and sure enough it was them. She...

We are taking a trip on the 27th of this month to Paducah, Ky to drop off some Campbells dwarf hamsters to a girl who found us on ebay classifieds (we breed Campbells dwarf, Winter white dwarf Hamsters and Syrian hamsters) After deciding we can do this I did a bit of research to find a...

We just recently made a Facebook Page for our herd. We are Guilty Pleasures Chinchillas and located in St. Louis Missouri! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Guilty-Pleasures-Chinchillas/192328457503611

Thanks for the reply, I went ahead and bought a 55lb bale of Timmy hay from one of the feed stores about 30 miles from us for $18.

Oh, we have no problem keeping up with everyone :) Thanks!!!

Well, we'll find out tomorrow if we'll get them... I got a phone call from a friend of mine who runs a small specialty pet store. She asked me if I'd be willing to take on 4 chinchillas cages included for fee. They wanted to get them into a home by tomorrow night and the pet store owner didn't...

With 6 chinchillas it's kinda hard buying such small bits at a time so I was wondering if this mix was ok, a guy on craigslist is selling it for horses. Timothy, Lespedezia, Brome, Orchard Grass, and some Alfalfa Or if anyone knows of a place in St. Louis to get a bale let me know!!

It seems like it's been forever since I've posted on this forum, I just feel like I have no time for anything anymore. We've FINALLY started breeding hamsters after 2 years of research and building a vet fund and my room mate will be breeding chinchillas starting the end of this year after about...

Thanks a ton, there is a tile store near me that does 1 cubic foot of marble for about 7 bucks, the porcelain was like .59 per cubic foot. I think I'll splurge and do the marble... and maybe check price on granite :)

I've been wondering, to those of you who use the marble slabs for a cooling plate, would porcelain work too, since porcelain is so dense? I was thinking about getting a couple slabs for our chins but wanted to know what you all thought.

Sorry guys I just realized that I put in the wrong code LOL, NOW you can enjoy the pics :D

Thanks a lot!

I've been wondering about this particular chin color. Is the Wilson White just a mosaic with no gray/tan/ebony markings or is it a different mutation all together. Would breeding him to a female of solid color (other than white) produce mosaics? Thanks.
