Venting..

I purchase Tradition chinchilla food from a supplier half an hour north of where I live. I am also friends with this breeder on Facebook, so I see their updates frequently. They posted this ad:

Should a 14 week old female really be with a 2 year old male? AND they want to sell them to just anyone with no experience breeding chinchillas?

I really want to stop buying my food from them, but I don't know how else to get Tradition in a convenient way...

They also don't know what Critical Care is!

Just playing devils advocate as I don't know the breeder, but looking at that ad, it doesn't specifically state that they are housed together. It does say they have a "pair" of chinchillas and I could see where someone would think they are housed together but it just may be that they didn't think their wording out before posting the ad. Just a thought???

I believe Sandi on here sells Tradition. You could always PM her.

They posted on facebook that they can be "separated if needed," so I am pretty sure they are housed together. Good catch though!

Thanks for the suggestion Airyn!

I commented on the breeder's facebook post, asking if they should be separated anyway so inexperienced people don't try to breed them. They deleted my comment.
