Title: My Chinchillas, New Here
Post by: Courtney on May 10, 2010, 03:58:19 AM

I'm new here so I thought I would show off my chins. I have six of them. I used to be a breeder but stopped for a while. I was breeding them to keep not sell, I was up to eight. Im thinking of breeding again. It was such a blast raising babies. I lost a kit which was really sad but the others are still with me. The names of my chins are Tucker (pink white), Candy (Gray), Chilly (gray, mother of Chicklette and Digit), Digit (Gray), Chicklette (beige), Silly (beige, father of Digit and Chicklette.)  Im thinking of breeding Tucker and Chicklette. Or Tucker and Digit. I also had a chinchilla named Peeps, her parents died when she was one week old. I had to hand raise her myself. She lived seven years and I recently had to put her to sleep do to infections in the gums, loose teeth and malocclusion. She was like a cat, she had play times on my bed every day, we ere always together. I miss her with all my heart. When I put her to sleep my heart felt like it was being ripped out. I miss her so much and loved her so much.

Peeps

Thanks, that was little Peepster. I still have all of her stuffed animals. I was devistated when I put her down, I seriously went into a depression.
