Cages / Re: Wire bottom cages

« on: November 13, 2006, 07:49:05 PM »

My husband and I just got done building our chinchilla's cages.  They are each 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep and 2.5 feet heigh.  We tiled the bottom as well as the sides of the cage, it looks great and the chinney's are seeming to really enjoy their LARGE cages.  I currently own 5 chinchillas, there are three cages and we made them big enough that once our females start having kits we can slide a seperator wall and they will still have 3 feet of room.  I personally like the solid floor cages, I had them in wire cages and they seem a lot happier in the solid floor ones.

My chinchillas range from 1-3 years in age, I have my beige female with her mate in a large cage with the wire squares small.  One female is housed separate, and my standard grey female is with her mate in a large cage as well.  I understand that chins live a long time and I am fine with that.  I really hate when I get so attached to a furry friend and then they die on me....it breaks my heart.  I am not planning on getting rich by breeding chinchillas, I want to breed them mainly to share them and allow them to have loving homes.   Thank you for the helpful site...it is very informative.  I will have pictures of my furry friends soon.  I am still learning my way around this site.

I have 1 beige female, 1 grey/silver female, 1 violet male, and 2 standard grey males.  They are all great, they love to be held, and when I am holding one the others begin to chatter at me as if they are saying, "hey, its my turn...pick me pick me"  I am loving them.

Hi, my name is Luann and I am new to the chinchilla world.... who knew there were so many chin lovers out there   I picked up my very first chin on Aug 20, his name is Hennesey and he is just now starting to love on me.  I have done research on chinchillas and I think I am going to start breeding them.  On Aug 23 I picked up 4 more chinchillas (3 females and 1 male)  I am just allowing them time to relax in their new home with me and I handle them once a day so they will learn that it is I that needs their love    The lady that I bought the 4 chins from said that the beige chin is pregnant and should be giving birth sometime in September.  I would love to become a registered breeder, but I am unsure how to go about it..... any helpful tips??  Also, is there really a high demand for chinchillas?  Like I stated before, I really would love to breed them, but then again I do not want to end up with 50 chins running about.
