How many pets do you have?

[Chinchillaville13]

15 Chinchillas, soon to be more as one of my Angora girls is due kits.
3 Snakes
1 Bengal cat
1 Northern Inuit dog

Nice! Do you breed chinchillas or just keep a zoo of them?

I'd intend on breeding and selling but wouldn't be able to let the fellers leave and would just need to make a chinchilla "exhibit" for my "zoo"

PLEASE, never breed or allow any of your pets to breed. There are too many animals without homes as it is.

Yes I breed them. My breeding males & females are all pedigreed show winners/show quality chins & pedigreed Royal Persian Angora chins. There’s a good demand for them in the UK & for importing/exporting throughout Europe when it comes to RPA’s & certain mutations, so most of my homes for them are already lined up for them before they’re born through my waiting list.
It is very hard to let them go though, if I’m honest I do sometimes hold back the ones I know will either do very well in shows or produce some fantastic kits...or even the ones I’ve developed a special bond with. One of my favourite hold backs was a little boy being bullied away from the nipple by his 3 siblings that I ended up helping out with top up feeds, he was a still is the sweetest, tamest guy I have. He’s 3 now & his favourite place is still sat up on my chest trying to tuck his chunkiness under my chin lol.

I always try to rescue. I won't even go to PetSmart for a pet, no matter how long it takes to find a "used" or rescue critter.

My dad buys any of his dogs from breeders, and I love them no matter what, but if I ever got a dog to call my own it'd be a rescue or stray.

I suppose I worded that wrong. When I said that I'd intend on breeding, I meant that if I did breed I would never be able to sell and would end up keeping all my critters

Nice! Hey, do you sell your Chins to anybody or do you have them fill out applications to make sure they'd care for them right? If you don't do applications, may I suggest you do? It'd be very reassuring knowing that your little floofers go to good homes
