Hello! My name is Dar, and I am from Newport News, VA. I got into chinchillas last November when I first saw them in a local chain pet store. My husband, in all of his intelligence, wanted me to go home and research them to learn as much as could prior to owning them. About 6 months later, I was ready and met up with a local rescue.
We had only sought out to get a pair of them, and easily were talked into getting four. Avalance, Andes Mint, Butters and Pikachu. They were from a mass rescue from backyard breeding. They weren't in the best shape, but their personalities had me hooked. All four are standard.
Sadly, we lost Pikachu in July.
In mid-October, I will be getting 3 additional chins. A beige, mosaic, and a standard. I'm very much looking forward to when they can come home with me.
I currently work at a local shipyard as Production Control, as well as having a side photography business.
I've been married for 2 years to my husband Chris. He puts up with my chinchilla craziness.
We both go to school full time as well. I am going for Business Management, while he is going for Computer Science/Engineering. So to say the least we are always extremely busy.
I am looking forward to being on another forum besides just the ones I am on now, to get different opinions as well as hear about other chinchillas. I never knew how big the chinchilla community was.

I love their names!
