I'm so frustrated! I'm interested in adopting another girl chin and although I have nothing against breeders, I just prefer to adopt chins that are no longer wanted or can no longer be cared for in their current situation. I have two single ladies that I adore. I responded to a Craigslist ad for a female chinchilla who is being rehomed because her owner is moving (her second owner in 2 years). The owner contacted me with photos and let me know that her chin girl "loves" playing with ferrets. WHAT? Ferrets are predators that hunt and attack rodents. She said the ferrets love to chase her chin and her chin has a great time wall running to get out of their reach. More like her chin is running for her life! Then, she goes on to tell me that it's not a good idea to introduce a chinchilla with rabbits because she tried that too and the rabbit attacked. I very gently counseled this young woman about exposing chinchillas to ferrets, I kept my mouth shut about the rabbit. As gentle as I was about this, I guess I still offended because she stood me up today for our initial meet and greet. I so badly want to go get this girl before something happens to her. Hopefully, she ends up in a better home. Next time something like this comes up, I'll keep my mouth shut on all of it and immediatly go get the chinchilla. I don't claim to know it all, but I have made it a point to educate myself with these sweet animals and I'm still learning new things and gaining new ideas....but come on....would you put a child in a tigers cage and hope for the best? :zipped1:
