Hi! We're new owners of two amazing standard grey chins, male and female, from Winnipeg. They are Rambo and LaFur, both a year old and is living with us for 3 weeks.
The first time I laid eyes on a chin was when we went to a petstore to look around at the animals. I fell inlove instantly and wanted to get one right away. So I did a little bit of a research about them before purchasing one. We we're saving up for them when we saw an ad from a retiring chin farmer on kijiji who is selling his herd. So we went to see his farm and chins and it was like walking into a, as my boyfriend calls it, "chinchilla death march". The poor chins! We adopted LaFur and Rambo right away that very moment. We gave them their first home which may not have been the best, but most definitely much cozier than their previous habitat. We made it as comfortable and safe for them as we can. We didn't realize that Rambo fits his name until after a week. I was watching him eat when I noticed that he is missing his right arm. He also has a screw tail. It made us feel so sad for him, and felt more convincingly that it was right for us to go to that farm and adopt them. We hope though, that the other chins left in that farm found their furever home and never suffer the terror in that kind of place again.
Now, we got them a bigger home which we ordered online from All Pet Furniture (Prevue Hendryx Feisty Ferret Home) and they couldn't be any happier. They enjoy running around and jumping on the ledges which we had to adjust. We are still working on getting to know them and providing them more attention and care that they deserve. We hope to learn more from this forum about chin care.
