Edgar's eye was off so we took him to the vet today. His fur has been a little greasy around one eye for a few days. Sadly they think that it is malo and can see a spur on his front tooth. They took x rays and should be emailing them tomorrow. They recommended a consult with UC Davis and we...

Jackie turned two years old yesterday so I decided we needed pictures. As you can see he's finally settled in after being with us for three months. I love that he's so sweet and likes to groom us gently as we pet him. He'll also let us snuggle him but you can tell he doesn't always like it...

The mail came today and it had new toys for my guys. At play time I installed them and a new hammock that arrived earlier in the week. I have to say that the vendors who sell on this board know their chinchillas because I've always been very happy with my purchases. As you can see the boys...

While at the California show last weekend we decided to take home a beautiful violet boy. Poor guy had a cage mate who attacked him and damaged his fur so he wasn't able to be shown. Luckily the only permanent damage is to his ears and he doesn't seem to mind. Sadly the first night with us we...

We went to our breeder today and had a wonderful time. Edgar got a grooming to prepare him for the show in Santa Nella next month. We also got to look at a lot of really beautiful chinchillas and I got to see Edgar mom which was very cool. We intended to just look but a big beautiful two year...

Edgar got sick a week ago and so many helped that I decided to take a few pictures so you could see how he's doing. While he never acted sick we are lucky he seems to be all better. Hope you enjoy them.

Edgar has a vet appointment today at 5pm because I noticed last night he had soft stools and it doesn't seem to have changed by the look of his cage today. Weight, eating and drinking are all normal. I tried to rub his belly last night and can feel nothing but what is normal and did the same...

Yesterday brought us the unexpected rescue of a duckling. Because there is no reliable duck rescue he will be staying with us since we have experience. He's the cutest little thing and seems to be doing well. Thankfully I have a friend who is an expert duck rescuer and she has helped. I hope...

It's been four months since we've gotten Edgar and he's been nothing but a joy. While he's not a snuggler he does love to run around and be with you. I am also amazed at how silky and beautiful his coat is. He's also grown to a very nice and round 616grams. Edgar also seems to be getting a...

Tonight while holding Edgar I noticed a very small little bump on his skin. It's really small, maybe 2-3mm, and is just behind his arm. At first I thought it was a bit of matted fur but it is like a little ball under his skin. Didn't bother him at all when I was trying to figure out what it...

Edgar has been with us for a little over a month and a half and I have to say things are going great. He's an absolute ball of energy that has a curiousity that never stops. Everything must be tasted but we are lucky our little guy likes wood and have made sure he has plenty. We also have our...

We ordered a wonderful assortment of toys for Edgar for Christmas that we opened right before Edgar's out time. Of course we couldn't wait to give him at least a few. Like all little ones he liked the box as much as the presents which was really cute. Here are a couple photos. Thank you to...

We have had Edgar for two weeks and last Saturday he was weighed at the vet at 362 grams. Tonight we weighed him and it looks like he has gained almost 100 grams. Is this normal? Do they have growth spurts? Edgar was born on 9/8/09 and is on MannaPro pellets. He gets fresh timothy hay and...

Last Saturday we brought home the cutest ebony male three month old chinchilla named Edgar Wallace although he mostly goes by Edgar. We had most things ready for him but got everything else from his breeder who we liked very much. I really liked going to see her and meeting everyone available...
