The oldest I am aware of is a 30 year old in Houston, TX. The largest I've seen was over 1300g. No pictures. Here is the most morbidly obese one I've ever owned; http://chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showpost.php?p=321160&postcount=74 The heaviest I've owned was ~1200. You will find the extra...

You can use it anyway. With the Sapphire / Violet nomenclature the Stds + sv paired with Stdv + vs does not give you a good option for all combinations; Viophire/BD Violet sc Sapphire vc Standard dual carrier I haven't taken the time to sit down and figure out as I already know what the...

I grabbed this wonderful genetic information from Chinbin's site before she shut down for good. It is how I learned the colors as we didn't have the handy dandy color calculator back in the day. It is not accurate, especially the Gene Formulas she uses for Violet and Sapphire (Blue Diamonds)...

I've found that ebony is a fairly accumulative gene - eg, if you bred him to another medium or a dark, kept one of the darker kits(G1) and bred that kit to a medium or a dark and kept a dark (G2) kit you would have a much higher chance of getting dark babies out of (G2) and any non-ebony female...

Can hear the crickets chirp in here. Surely someone has an update of how the trial drugs went? Have you been able to swab/test for it in chinchillas that carry it to determine either way? I'd really like to know, I quit taking in rescues until there is a way to check for it and treat it.

Chins like it, I like it's consistency, lack of extra sugars (molasses) and no ash content. I would be hesitant to use it in states with a high wheat/legume production as the ambiguous ingredients at the beginning basically mean that they use whatever by product is in season and available. In...

Lynn's chinchillas in Orlando breeds and sells lockens along with Jim. Bobbie's chinchillas in Winsconson breeds and occasionally has Angoras available.

Curious to see how the treatments were going for the involved herds?

The racetrack always gets the best stuff and I'd get it from them if you can. Probably cheaper. I find it amusing people are so set on the 'cut' nowadays, good hay is good hay. Go look at it, touch it and smell it. Up north you get 2-3 cuts, down here in the south you can get up to 6. What...

If you really need sugar-free feed this stuff is very nice but my chins didn't find it palatable - it is extremely hard to wean anything off of the taste of sugar, including humans! But in your case I would give it a try; http://store.naturalrabbitfood.com/

I've been using the Producer's Pride brand for the last year. I'm happy with the results and they haven't had the seasonal quality control issues that Manna Pro was having. I'll keep using it until they change the formula, that seems to happen with feeds every few years. Regarding the...

Judging by the lack of any variation in the tail that is a dark tan baby. Ebony can definitely be carried, likely by both parents.

Oops, you are right. I was thinking the Feisty Ferret one where only half of the front opens. They look similar to the FN's but are smaller and have a wire floor.

Absolutely agree, and the best thing about the FN doors is they are easy to just slide right off giving access to the entire width and height of the cage. Get the urge to re-outfit all the shelving? It is a snap for a single person with a FN. The CN's and the QC's are a fight because they...

Shoot, the play sand is more expensive than the blue cloud. :/ Not heard of that one either, and what a mess to try and mix it.

Found an example for you, it is not a dirty belly but of a faded belly line. Most people don't notice this until someone points it out. :p You can see the grey bleeds into the white on the bigger female along the entire belly and chest area. Due to having amazing traits everywhere else I...

I find them pet homes and split the parents or get rid of the line that brought it in - especially the ones that wrap under the neck/chin only or have a faded belly line. I dislike the look. I do this because what you put into a line = what you get out. I focus on mute x mute breeding and...

Thanks Dawn! I don't think she realizes that email is still there, I'll make sure she starts a new thread with the correct information, that email was for a dial-up account that she used until she got DSL last year.

Dawn which email did you send it to? I checked both of her accounts ([email protected] and [email protected]) and do not see anything from you beyond the initial order. She asks to allow 5-7 business days for shipping. This allows her to deal with unforeseen events (like a lovely...

lol, it's only in the 30's here and my pipes are frozen to the kitchen. My house is not designed to get this type of cold this far south. Going to have to let my shower drip, no way I'm missing a hot shower in the morning!
