hello everyone!! im based in ireland, have been obsessed with chins for years. Got my first chin 2 years ago, but unfortunately she died. I got a replacement from the pet shop but unfortunately she died too. I figured i was jinxed and shouldnt keep them, was absolutely devastated. but it emerged afterwards that both were from the same litter and there had been a mix up between the breeder and the shop, they'd been put on rabbit food without being weaned!!! Poor things had died as a result. A few months later a friend called, she had found me the perfect little chin!! A beautiful white with pink eyes, named Koby. :) Since then i got a job in a pet shop, myself, 6 months ago we got some chins into the shop but one little fella looked far too young, we figured only bout 6 weeks, his tail hadnt even come on yet!! I brought him home to nurse him and bring him on. Hes still here  :::grins:: never made it back to the shop!!!! Hes now thriving, hes been neutered and is on co habited with koby.

I also have 5 bunnies which ive started breeding, a conure, a cockatiel, a guinea pig, a dog and 2 fish tanks  :) my own little zoo  :)

 ::silly::    Hi Koby!  Welcome to the Chinchilla Club Forum!

It's a shame that happened to the first two ... did they ever tell you exactly what was wrong with them?

When born, chinchillas are fully furred (tail and all), with their eyes open and playing within an hour or so.
Sounds like that little one had been bullied and maybe even beat up by his siblings.   But you have him now and he is safe and happy!  Sometimes all chins need is a good loving home and they will be just as loving, if not more so, than ones that were not.   Bless you for giving this little one a loving home.   :::grins::

Hiya Jo Ann, Thanx for the welcome and thanx for having him  :) When the first guys arrived in the shop they didnt have chin food so gave them rabbit food instead. Then the stress from transport was too much for the little guys. RIP little gizmo and erin. Little bambi (the "rescue") was so small. only bout 4" big.
Hes come so far now tho! Hes still much smaaller than my female but hes thriving, Hes a cheeky chappy  ::)
