Hello everyone! I am Jess.
I had a pair chins a few years ago, but due to a few issues, had to rehome them...
I do animal rescue (all types, specialize in giant breed dogs, mostly great danes, but we have all sizes/breeds)
My personal pet family is rather large, consisting of : 3 great danes (mystery & Rocky) & a papillon named Jack, I also have a horse (Gemini), a cat (siamese named Karma), a scarlet macaw (shadow) and a red-eared slider turtle (who doesn't have a name, but has lived here for 6 years!) (and now 3 chinchillas)
We live on a decent sized farm, and also have chickens & a turkey (who was dumped at the dog shelter)
Almost ALL of my animals are rescues...
anyways, on to the chinnies
I have been considering for some time now adopting a pair of chinchillas, a friday, I was contacted by someone who wanted to surrender a trio of chinchillas to our rescue! I said yes, and decided that I would get to know them before deciding whether or not they would become permanent additions.
I was told they are "black" chinchillas, they don't look ebony to me (they are light) but are a bit dark for the standard grey.
They are 2 females & a male (who were all housed together, meaning that the 2 girls are more than likely pregnant!)
They are: Cinnamon- approx. 4 yrs old, Luna- Approx 1 year old, and Charlie, approx 8 months old.
Cinnamon & charlie beat Luna up pretty badly & the family had seperated her (luna) out by herself. These guys were last minute, and i quickly grabbed out 2 cages & set up. Currently Cinn & Charlie are together, and Luna is in a nice big cage alone. I plan to seperate charlie tomorrow, when I get a chance to dig the other cage out of storage! (I had to work this weekend)
I brought them in & gave them a few hours to sette in & get used to things, then went in to talk to them, Luna barked at me a little, but they all 3 allowed me to pick them up with little to no fuss!
i was able to sit them on my bed & take photos while they just checked things out!
they are very patient!!
Anyways, I will post photos later, and I look forward to learning about these guys... It has been quite awhile, and I find I am rusty on a lot of chinny stuff! lol Any advice/pointers are greatly appreciated!
