Oh, I see. Great to hear. It will be worthwhile and you'll learn a lot! Don't worry about coming and going. People leave and come back whenever they want. Plus, you have to stay for the silent auctions and raffles! They're half the fun! 😃 if you can only make half the show, the mutations should...

Sorry to hear. Get well soon, and hope to meet you at a future show!

Sorry, you won't avoid the rain, but snow I highly doubt and there is none in the NOAA Weather forecast for your route. You'll be fine!

For those making the journey to the show (some of you 19 hours!), safe travels and looking forward to seeing you. Willingness to drive that far to support the show and show off your chinchillas demonstrates your dedication to chinchillas! See you after 6pm on Friday!

I use it in my herd for the ones that pee a lot. Its fine. I know of breeders that use it in both wire bottom and pans with shavings. I have had no issues.

Thanks for your support Christine! I am sure the lucky raffle winner will be thrilled!

These are my FAVORITE bottle guards. They work with both Edstrom Water Buddies and the Lixit Quick Fill bottles. I love these! I have never had problems with these guards...mine have lasted 5 years and have no rust...and I've never had a chewed bottle! Glad to see someone is having them made...

Thanks for the offer, Sumiko! You must have lots of room in your car!;)

Less than a week to go! Finishing up touches on the show... We have some great prizes for the raffle table again this year. I jut received some amazing donations for the special raffle: a Flying Saucer wheel and a couple beautiful handmade scarves with chinchilla fur spun in! Don't forget to...

I prefer the Ridgid brand (not Shop Vac). They are available at Home Depot. I have one that is 5 hp. I like the larger hoses (I think they're maybe 2.5" in diameter?) so it is less likely to clog with hay and shavings (but still does) and I purchased the expensive fine dust filtering filter and...

Two weeks to go until show time! Hope you all are dusting your chinnies! Don't forget, there will be breeders bringing animals for Silent Auction and sales after the show, so be ready to go home with some nice animals!

No, but we still have the Standard Breeder/Junior Breeder and Mutation Breeder/Junior Breeder awards for animals you have bred. The color class breeder award is to recognize breeders who specialize in mutation colors.

Congrats to the winners! Good job 4-H! Were there no violets or ebonies entered?

Tell me about it! I don't have five of any color this year! :facepalm:

No, You must have a minimum of 5 animals in the same color class and points totaling at least 27. Only one breeder need show in a class (as long as they meet the requirements) to win the award if there are no competitors.

Announcing that we will also have new awards for Color Class Breeder. Minimum five animals, breeder with the highest points of those five animals wins the Color Class Breeder rosette for that mutation color! Bring those animals! The competition is ON! :thumbsup:

One day shows are often difficult to socialize when we have live animals and many travel far or have to catch flights. I like the California show for that reason. Maybe someday in the future we will have enough participation to warrant a two-day show!

A few more things to pass along: 1) We have decided to do a silent auction for animal sales. Animal sales will need to be paid to the breeder in cash so please be prepared if you are interested in purchasing pets or herd improvement animals. 2) All animals must be tagged. Empress ear tags will...

Less than a month to go until show time! Looking forward to seeing you all at the show :) A few things: 1) If you are interested in Blue Cloud Dust, don't forget to contact Nan (snickers) via PM to reserve your bags. 2) There will be some animals for sale at the show. Contact local breeders...

Not sure what the question was here :) but I know mine do the same. I think they love eating paint or metal. ha.
