We hope that you can make it!

Well first, you should make sure that both of these animals are pedigreed and are from show lines. If they are not, they shouldn't be bred. If they are pedigreed, both should be shown to find out if they are matches for breeding - they must compliment each other so that you're not pairing two...

You have to tug them out. They will come out, you have to put force in the pull. The fur has to grow back completely and you will have a bald spot, but the tufts need to come out. Pull from the interior of the tuft firmly.

Have you tried just using blu-kote? I practically use it on all wounds.

They open from the front and have individual doors.

Excited for this show. It will be my first time in California.. can't wait to see you all there :)

I'm about 3 hours from the area on the NC/VA border. I have several animals available at this time and some that will be available in Dec - Jan.

Try Monika at Pony Trail Chins - she's in MD. There just aren't many breeders in VA unfortunately.

I've never heard of it either. I've been to several meetings / seminars where the Hubbard nutritionist Dr. Bonnette has come out and spoke about the feed and I don't remember him speaking about ever needing any type of supplement either. I feed it to my chins, but I don't supplement.

I've had no issue with getting dark / extra dark ebonies out of 1st or 2nd generation and I pair extra dark eb to dark standards. I get a crap shoot, from medium to extra dark. My darkest eb I've produced was out of a dark standard with crisp belly and an extra dark eb. I've taken my first...

I will be there as well. Hoping to bring close to 20 animals.. we'll see :)

Yes, the ACS show will be in Milesburg, PA in April of next year.

First, that's not a "homo" ebony. Ebonies shouldn't really be considered homozygous anyway based on how they appear phenotypically - we call them extra dark ebonies. I would label that animal as a dark ebony, not extra dark and it will most likely lighten with age from the way it appears. As...

Ebony can pop up generations down the line.. at least one of the parents was carrying ebony.

The video of cervical dislocation and the electrocution IS NOT from Valley View ranch in Cali - it's a video taken by PETA years ago at a ranch in Michigan and they decided to throw it in this video for effect. Yes, I'm sure they did amputations on their own in the past, but the majority of...

She was asked about their past methods as they were pelters decades ago and PETA twisted it to make it seem as if this is what would happen if the herd wasn't sold off... when that's not the case. It's easy to manipulate words online.

The issue is not that we're doing anything wrong in the beginning - the issue is the fact that PETA believes that breeding as a whole is wrong, and that breeders who have chinchillas in large quantities must breed for fur, which is not the truth. They go after ranchers and try to attack them in...

I'm not a fan of the ranch in itself or their practices of not keeping pedigrees and producing just for pets and not for quality, but the entire situation has been blown out of proportion. The animals were purchased for $50,000 through a PETA operation, not surrendered. $100,000 was given for...

If your animal came from a "quality" breeder and they meant for you to breed it, you should have gotten a pedigree, unless this breeder isn't "quality" after all or the animal shouldn't be bred to begin with. I don't give pedigrees with animals that should not be bred.
