My Soon-To-Be Chinchilla!

[Rebecca1122]

I just came from the breeder's house. At first, I went in thinking that I wanted an ebony. She had around 6 or 7 available that I saw. They were all around 2-4 months, and then there was a 2 week old baby ebony. She showed me the baby, and he was adorable! I wanted to get him, but I couldn't really tell his personality. Then she showed me a light ebony one, around 2 months. He seemed cute, but he wouldn't really stand still.
Then one particular chin kept coming out of the cage and kept coming up to me. He was a three month old black velvet boy. He just kept coming to me and he was really friendly. He also jumped on top of his cage, and when I put my hands out, he jumped into them.

Anyway, I got a few pictures. They aren't that great because he kept moving, and my phone is not the best camera

--Some of the pictures got flipped sideways--

Congrats! Sometimes it's best to let the chin choose you.

lol - that is awesome! he looks like a cutie - reminds me of a black velvet female we have named Bella - she is an amazingly inquisitive sweetheart

Sounds like you both found what you were looking for!!!

 

[Rebecca1122]

Thanks everyone, I'm very happy and excited to be welcoming my first chin!

Yay...FINALLY! I can't wait for you to bring him home.

Nothing better than a smart, loving chinny. Congratulations!

Tim - Thanks, I can't wait either!!

Theresa - I know! And thanks, I'm very excited :bliss:

By the way, I am getting the chin in around 2 weeks or so, after all of my supplies arrives (A big thank you to Allison!), and I intend to take lots of pictures with my actual camera (not my phone this time).

You're getting a CUTE baby!

 

[Sandi]

LOVE black velvets! Congrats

 

[Rebecca1122]

I'm trying to think of names...Does anything come to mind when you see him?

Congrats! He's adorable. I'm happy you found your chin. He looks like a Sparky to me.

 

[CrazyForChinchillas]

I just love it when the chinchilla picks their person. I have had it happen a few times here and it is really something to see. Love at first sight!:hug2:

I tried inserting it so it would be in the body of the message, but the picture's not showing.

I attached it.

My dad said I should call him Oliver, what do you think?

 

[CrazyForChinchillas]

I love the name, Oliver! He is super cute! :cute: )
