Im so pleased your chin is ok
And lucky you were around

Its amazing what chinchillas can get up to
Years ago I had a chin who must have jumped funny and got stuck between mesh and house 1 toe she was 12 weeks old and was hanging in a rather stange way but her food dish saved her I reackon
She had to have the toe amputated but made a full recovery but if the food dish wasnt there she made have broken her leg trying to free herself.
Accidents seem to happen no matter how careful you are chinchillas just do crazy things!

I also had a baby get its head stuck in a toilet roll came in to see it running round the cage in a panic was a real sight now I cut all toilet rolls so noone gets stuck

Thanks guys
I was known as Natasha on the other forums if any of you remember me.
Havent been as active on forums in last 3 years as we have had our own 2 boys 18months and 3 years  
It took 1 and a half hours was my first tattoo was painful at times but tolerable and if you have been thru child birth its a breeze!  
They used a picture I took in of Milo he was a stunning baby I bred but unfortunetly he died at 10 weeks old I was devestated he was my first bred brown velvet about 8 years ago. We found him limp in the cage and rushed him to afterhours vets never new what happened. I never forgot him and thought of him often so used him as a tribute to all the chinchillas I have lost over the years. I had a really bad tradegy last year  I lost 7 chinchillas in the summer as we had a freak heat wave and air con wasnt up to it. I was extremly tramatized and saved 2 at the vets with IV fluids
Chinchillas to me are such a huge passion and love them heaps so have always wanted a chinchilla tattoo and had googled for ideas and only found 1 only that was done. When I went to the tattoo artist he thought it would be great to do it as a portrait
Attached is a pic he worked off
Will add new pics as it heals
And will be more active on the forum
