Hi there!

[chinvet]

Hello to everyone who already knows me and to those of you I have yet to meet. My name is Angie Martin (aka Angie Keffer, VMD) and I am a small animal veterinarian from Pittsburgh, PA with an interest in chinchillas as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and mice. I have a small herd of chinchillas and have been breeding for about 10 years.

I am going to be working along with the wonderful people who set up this site to try and answer one question a week about chinchilla health. I am NOT a reproduction expert, so I think most of those types of questions should be shared with others who have been breeding longer then I have. If I don't have the answer, then I should have the resources to find it, but some things may just be unknown. We are still learning about these special creatures daily and as the pet population grows, hopefully more research will be done in the future. Hope to chat with you soon!!

Hi Angie :wave:

 

[HedgeMom]

Hopefully we can learn for each other!!!

I doubt there is much we can teach her; she's experienced as an owner and a vet. Kinda the double whammy in chinmanship.
