I did a you tube video of a breeding family of chins with newborns I have, so if you get bored...

Oh my goodness, that is just so precious. Thanks for sharing that, I love how Titan watches out for his little ones, and then how he gave in to the scritches after a kakk or two. Also, loved how the little one was carrying around a piece of the bedding. Soooo cute!

Titan sold out for scritches...lol

Cute kits and the standard male made me giggle as he was biting the camera - nosy chap, isn't he? LOL.

Pardon me but I noticed a wheel in the cage behind - in the UK those are not recommended as the chins can injure themselves in the crossbar supports etc - are they considered ok in the US?

are they considered ok in the US?

They are not. I never recommend them for the same reason as Claire stated above.

I have used those wheels for about 8 years now and have never had any injuries. I have about 200 adult chinchillas that use them and I produce over one hundred babies a year that start using them at 8 weeks of age. I do make sure they are 6 inches away from the cage wall if there are more than 2 chinchillas in the cage, so one chinchilla can't crawl up the side while another is running on it. The wire mesh is a tiny bit larger than 1/8" square. I know many people are against this wheel and we have already had a debate on CnH about it so, I won't debate it again, but I have to go with my experience with this wheel and it has been 100% positive. I do wish it was larger than the 11" in diameter because I breed very large chinchillas. I am in the works with a sheet metal company to try and produce the larger 14" in diameter sheet metal wheel with a solid side at a more affordable price and am waiting to hear back from him. If he is able to make that wheel, I would buy them wholesale and would ultimately like to use all of that style instead.

So sweet. The dad giving the kit a smooch was so cute I had to watch it twice. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! When I watched it, I thought "that is not my voice". "I don't sound like that" I guess I have way more of a southern accent than I realize (not that there is anything wrong with that, I just didn't know).
