« on: July 01, 2009, 06:42:13 PM »

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to make this post so people could say:
1. How many chins do you have currently?
2.What are some of your chins names?
3. What do you like most about chins? ( I love everything about chinchillas! What's not to love? )  ::shrug::
 
Also, feel free just to leave a note.
 

 1. I have 1 chinchilla.
 2. His name is Fluff Muffin.
 3. I love everything!!! as I said before.

I have 2 chins. Male MeeKeeMoo and the Female named Chuppers. They live together and MeekeeMee has been nuetered. I do not suggest Nuetering a chin  :noway: Especially with what we went through. He pulled through though and is doing well with his girl friend and it makes Me so happy everyday to see them together.

I love how they look at Me. I love how they beg for raisens. I love to watch them play . I love to watch them sleep. I love how Chuppers complains when the TV isnt on the channel she wants it on. I love to hear Her scolding poor love sick MeeKeeMoo . Its quite funny and He plays the in the dog house part so well. Then 10 minutes later they will be cuddled up together asleep. I love how they feel when I scratch they chins and chests and how they lift an arm and push out so I get the right spot.

I love it when they groom Me . I love how they bounce around. I love their shape its cute. I love how they play with My dog and think he is just another chin. I think they are great all the way around.

  :noway:  I don't plan to neuter my chinchilla, he lives alone. Well, maybe not alone, my hamster lives in a separate cage about 4 feet away from him. Although, I would say that Puffy, my hamster, doesn`t run around in his cage much. He just eats, sleeps, and other stuff. I hardly ever see him. He has a wooden house he lives in.

     Anyway, Fluff Muffin, my chin, has the time of his life in his CHINCHILLA MANSION as I call it! :2funny:   He is always running up and down my legs as I sing to him. :::grins:: My dogs come up and watch him every morning. They play together through the cage while Fluff Muffin runs around and my dogs try to guess which room in his cage, Fluff Muffin will be in next. It is SO funny!!   rofl

   But watching freaky movies or just hearing a scary story would freak me out  ::scaredspeachless:: so any sound that goes bump in the night gets me "lecturing"  my animals saying, ` Excuse me, Fluff Muffin and Puffy, do you mind? Some people are trying to sleep and not just me! ` ::silly::

 ::silly::
1)  I have 100+ chinchillas (at one time I had 200+)
2)  Each has it's own name from Adam to Zeus
3)  What do I love about chinchillas?  They've given me a purpose in life, they need me and I need them.

After my accident, I could no longer work and felt useless.  I had my right shoulder rebuilt, 9" rods in my back and brain surgery ... followed a few years later by eye cancer. 
Between my husband and my chins, they would never let me get down or depressed. 
How can you feel bad or depressed when you have these soft, fluffy, furry little clowns popcorning all over the place? 
And those eyes ... looking at you with those big round dark eyes that twinkled with mischief.
Some will dance and some will do back flips for me. 
One likes to scare me by playing dead, then when I come running, she jumps up and looks like the picture of innocence.
Another likes to have long 'conversations' with me ... I talk ... she listens ... she chatters her chinchilla talk ... I listen ... this can go on for as much as 15 minutes ... we are very polite and never interrupt each other or blab our secrets to others.
The nurturing sounds the kits and momma chins make when they snuggle and nurse, reminds you of a time you held your little ones humming and rocking them to sleep.
They are always glad to see you and run to the cage door for a nose rub, or a scratch, or a treat ... or to show off their new kit.
Chinchillas are a little bit of heaven on earth.   :::grins::

I'm down to about 24 right now, have had as many as 40, and I too have gone through the alphabet several times with names, I name most of the kits.
I also had an accident, about 20 years ago and couldn't work any more. My chins were my savior, they gave me love with out question, danced for me when I was down, and groomed me when I didn't look my best.
I have loved watching them grow from kits to seniors, and so enjoy the bond I have with each and every one.
Not only did I have something to do, but I had so much to learn and that gives me a good reason to get out of bed when I can hardly move. Even to this day and I have had chinchillas now since 1998.
I just can't picture my life with out them. ::kiss99::
And now I get to share them with the grandkids. ::wub::

I couldn't have any more kids. I always wanted a chinchilla, so that's how I got my first one! Then I loved the little guy so much another male. After that,along with lots & lots of research I got in to breeding, They give me so much joy & happiness. I can never be sad when I am with them. I have close to 140 now & counting! lol And I have small herd dwarf/dwarf carries too! They all have names as well from A to Z!!!

She was my 1st, I'm happy her name got noticed some, everytime someone is over at our house, everyone looks at Mystery (ebony) and says awwww that name is great for her, and Cherry (Standard) seems to get ignored a little, they are both special to me though and thats what matters.

1. How many chins do you have currently? I only have one little boy for now.

2.What are some of your chins names? His name is Zeus and he's spoiled rotten

3. What do you like most about chins? Everything! Even when he's being an annoying brat cause he wants out and I'm not willing to let him out (usually because I can't at that moment)... I plan on having at least one more... Knowing me I'll eventually start breeding them.

1) I only have one for now, although I'm exploring finding her a friend. She's about three and a half months old.

2) Her name is Frida.

3) When I open her cage door for her evening playtime, the first thing she does is lean out and wait for someone to kiss her on the nose. She remains motionless and will even let you do it more than once, and then she commences with her antics.

1) I have had two chinchillas, one after another.
2) My first was named Blue. My second is named K'ulu.
3) Chinchillas are fascinating to watch and interact with. You never know what new and interesting behavior you'll witness next.
