I have a extra dark ebony boy. He also has deformed genitals... Let me know if you want me to get you any pictures.
 
I will try to take a few good pictures. You will see what I mean when I say it's deformed... Can you pm me your email? I don't think everyone wants to see my boy's deformed gens... The breeder says that he came out that way. His shaft never retracts... And it's bent, but he was premature. And he was the only one who made it. And oh yeah, you have a extra dark eb... LOL! I forgot!
 
Sorry that I didn't get you pictures yet. We were very busy this weekend. I did finally get pictures yesterday night, but I haven't sent them. They came out kind of blurry...
 
Sorry it took so long for the chewing pictures. It was hard to get a good picture of it.

As an FYI, I know I have heard people talking about rescues they take in and how their fur was chewed and how horrible it was and how horrible the chins were treated. Because of this I don't post full body pictures of Chula in fear of being judged. He is a happy, healthy chin. He is also my friendliest chin. He has a chin spin, and half a FN to himself, with more toys inside then you could ever want. He even has his own TV that is on every single night. He also gets playtime every single day. I have tried everything to get him to stop chewing to no avail. I spoil him rotten, so please, please don't judge. He is who he is.

And just because I love his smile I had to post this as well. You don't have to use this one. I just thought he needed a redeeming photo. :p

Aww, look at Chula's smile. There is a genetic predisposition for fur-chewing so sometimes even if the chin is in a good environment, they'll still chew out of habit or compulsion. He is a cutie though, even with his chewed sides!
 
Thanks so far everyone! Bumping this up, as I still need pictures of:
Fungus
Eye infection
Handfeeding
Difference between male & female- basically just need a pic of female
Chin colors- violet wrap, dark tan

Also still looking to add people to my breeder & supplier directory. Thanks!
 
Maybe you could classify these under "Extreme Fur Biting"
Dexter is the happiest Chin we have, and was one the reasons we picked him from Susan. He does this regardless of care, environment, feed, and has also taken to carefully removing all the hair from his cage mates feet(who gladly lets him). He is 509 Grams, but with the lack of fur you would think he is near death.

I have a violet wrap male I took in from a breeder who was moving/selling out. He is very mousey-looking and small but he is a cutie-pie and very calm! I can get a picture for you - he'll probably allow me to pose him in any way, lol.
 
Thanks everyone for contributing so far! I have all the pictures saved in a big file. The website is probably 75% done. Right now my big project is working on the Health section. I'm hoping to document all of the common illnesses/disorders associated with chins with pictures, symptoms, treatments, etc. along with putting together a large directory of breeders/rescues and suppliers. It's long and tedious but once it's done the biggest part will be over. After that it's basically just tweaking what I already have and editing a few things.

I'll post the link again so if you'd like to see what progress has been made or offer suggestions, feel free!

I'd also really appreciate if you would like to link my website on yours :D

Hopefully my website will overshadow the others that offer outdated and incorrect info and can supplement our wonderful CnH!
 
Wow that looks great so far. I know it was very annoying trying to find chinchilla information before I bought mine and your site looks like a great place to find a butt load of information!
 
My friend's Dark Tan boy

Hi!! Here is a few pics of a Dark Tan boy that my friend has. He was told to another girl by Sandy in NY more than 4 years ago. Then, my friend adopted him (Vicencio-nick name Vicenti) from the girl since she was going off to college. What do you think? If these are used, I want a credit!!!! My name is Nana Sawaki:thumbsup:
