Welcome to the Chinchilla Club Forum!
You are very lucky! You live only 105 miles from Auburn, Indiana. The M.C.B.A. has their Nationals in Auburn in the 4-H building every spring. This year it is on March 21st. You are lucky to live so close! Living in Virginia, we have to drive about 550 miles to get to go to it, but we try to go each year. Missed it last year.
You would be surprised how much you can learn by going to the shows.
There is a wealth of knowledge at every show.
