This woman on craigslist who claims to have 15 years of chin rescuing experience refuses to separate a male and female bonded pair because they seem to be depressed when they're apart, and as she says, no one wants to see a sad chin. They've already had one kit together, and the woman seems to think she's pregnant again (the kit's only 12 weeks old). I offered to take the female, provided that they be separated, but she said that they have to go together. This just blows my mind. Is it just me, or is this a horrible situation for the chinchillas, who are rescues and most likely petstore chins?
How do you convince people like this to use their "experience" and do things that actually benefit the chins? I said that they had to be separated or he had to be castrated (and even then, they'd still have to be separated for 6 weeks). I don't have room for two more chinchillas (with more on the way), but oh god is it tempting.
