I have read up quite a bit on fur quality, mostly through the MCBA letters. They describe what certain terms mean that judges use at shows and how they determine if their fur is of good quality. Regardless of what others may think, I have spent more time learning about chinchillas, their fur...

Wow! Good luck, they are beautiful.

Well, what I mean by this, is she isn't out to make a profit from her chins. I still consider her a breeder, since she does breed even if its not often. I understand what you are saying though. On another subject of asking questions that may have been posted before, I just felt that by me...

As far as the rescue goes, I read a post online somewhere stating that you could actually be arrested for claiming to have a rescue. Would you happen to know who I could talk to just to be sure...maybe the Dept. of Natural Resources? Thats where I had to get my rehabilitator's license through. I...

I actually would be fine with rescueing chins, but from what I hear and read, you have to go through quite a bit to be considered a rescue. I believe that you can actually be arrested if you claim to be a rescue without the proper steps being taken first. I wouldn't even know where to start with...

Thanks for the advice missjess10475.

The female is 2 and the male is 1 year 4 mo. She weighs 690g. He weighs 780g.

I feel I am ready for this after tons of research. I am used to taking care of animals and dealing with birth. I am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. I have nursed squirrels, raccoons, kittens and puppies from as young as a few days old. I understand the risks and what comes with breeding. I...

I bought a pair of chins about two weeks ago from a breeder in St. Louis. She was able to give me health history and I saw the parents of the female and pics of the male's parents, so I felt confident in getting them. My male is and ebony, Sammy, and my female is a pink white named Squishy. I...

Its worth it to sign up if just for the newsletters...which are more like small magazines. They are full of info and tips. I've already learned things that I didn't know before.

So, I am now a member of MCBA...Midwest Chapter! I got my packet in the mail yesterday afternoon.

How thick are you needing the grape vine to be?

I will get a list of available items together and also a list of what we will have available this spring/summer.

My parents own a natural herb farm and I have access to a large amount of items that chinchilla safe. All are organic. They have everything from a variety of woods to herbs and flowers. Just about anything a chinchilla might want. Let me know what you are looking for and I will see what I can do...

My male Chincha will scoot against my sons' hands when they put them in the cage. He scoots forward and then backward then back again. He then will lay his head on their hand. I call it his little penguin dance because he looks like a penguin waddling.

Mine didn't come with a lid :( ...it won't be long though and then she won't fit into it...I hope lol.

How cute...my chins need a room like that.

My only issue is that there is just not a chapter close to me. I just applied to join MCBA, but even though their are chapters that are somewhat close, they are not active from what I hear. I would really love for there to be a chapter near to me formed(St. Louis chapter maybe?). I am near St...

I could not figure out how my chins were getting poop in their feed until I caught my little girl Marishka.

OMG! They are so adorable. I love the statue chin. Beautiful!
