Hmmm...that's very interesting to know (about the anise seed) :) I don't use CalfManna here but it's not out of the question so something to keep in memory. On that note, Manna Pro is generally very good about customer service. I've had to call them several times about issues I've had with...

As the questions have already been answered fairly sufficiently, may I just say how refreshing it is having someone WITHOUT a chinchilla...coming on here and asking GOOD questions before getting a chinchilla? Congratulations, I know you'll make a good owner. Stick around, ask any additional...

I agree wholly with what Amethyst has said above. Males do not go into heat, only females. Males go through puberty but if your chinchillas are older than a year that's not the issue. A little more background would help determining WHERE things went wrong...but now that things HAVE gone wrong...

Two things I wanted to follow up on, while all breeders vary on PERSONAL lowest weights for breeding...MOST will agree that for any breeding animal (in any herd) the lowest that SHOULD be considered for breeding would be 575g for males, and 650g for females. Some breeders don't LIKE breeding...

As breeders this is one we deal with all too often. The "baby buyer". The new "want to be owner" that has to have a chinchilla as young as possible :( I always try to explain that babies are SO unpredictable. That they require a TON of work and special consideration while an adult can be SO...

Maybe, just not sure when? I'm in the middle of processing a HUGE batch of ash right now. Do you know how much you'd be interested in?

I would not breed a male whose adult weight was less than 575g or an adult female whose adult weight was below 650g. Those would be absolute minimums, with all other qualities being stellar. Most of my animals, even my males, range way above that. My smallest females being around 675/700g and my...

Right, standards are the same but I know that age IS taken into consideration more for an MCBA show than an ECBC show. I've always been told it's more favorable to bring a hefty mature chin to an ECBC event ;) As for combs, while there are always people willing to help groom...I'm of the...

I've tried many brands over the years. Some were excellent feeds, just hard to get regularly. THAT is a BIG consideration...can you get the feed reliably? Over the years let's see: Mazuri- mostly an alright feed but some of my animals got soft stool that would NOT clear up and lost weight from...

First, great job on weight tracking. It's something I do but not in an electronic manner. That said, as mentioned, that information will mostly be useful to you for your health/pregnancy tracking purposes. I would take note of overall weight gained and size of litter as that information could be...

Well, that IS provided it's an MCBA show. In ECBC age really isn't a consideration. So it will also depend on which show you'd like to attend? Likewise, even if it is MCBA (as mentioned) it will only really matter if the chinchilla is under 7mos of age so your best bet is knowing at least "round...

Sponsorship opportunities for this show!

SO, I recently had some discussion on the benefit of taking a list of "normal" or "within range" vitals statistics along on vet visits. Especially for new owners, going to a new vet. I feel that not enough vets really KNOW what is normal and this can lead to misdiagnosis and worse. SO, can...

FYI- angoras are NOT solely bred within the US and from what I've heard, not solely bred by .com within the US anymore either. Likewise, there are other, newer mutations out there (in other countries) being shipped in. If you'd like put in touch with someone who has done a lot of international...

And ABSOLUTELY (I know it's been said) CHECK MILL DATES! I found several local mills that were selling 6 month old food!

This is perfectly normal, I've had babies & adults with this...sometimes I do notice that it runs within lines. Other times it could be caused by injury, regardless if she's always been like that...it's not a problem ;)

I'm with tunes, the chemicals you used to clean the spot would DEFINITELY be more harmful to breath in than chin pee...I also agree with white vinegar...stuff is a godsend, we keep it on hand here by the gallon :)
