i love doing all kinds of graphic work

when i went to pick my pair up we had a very long drive back it took a long time for them to accept a treat from up we had to lay it in the cage for them
they are now very friendly but my female was so very pregnant and the night we got her the lady told me she might be pregnant and then jerked her up by her tail \
i could see she was very close to delivery but it was to late to say anything about the way she picked her up
then there was the drive back home anyway she went into early labor the second night we had her i believe she was in labor all that first day and she had 4 kits that night 3 violets and 1 standard male he made it but the 3 violets did not he is quite healthy though and my oldest daughter is taking him
my male is very pretty how do i tell if her has tov he looks so hazy i have never seen a violet in real life untill i got my male and i dont know how to tell if he has tov
i emailed the lady i got him from and asked her if there is any velvets in his blood line
wow i ramble bad sorry but i forgot how fun it is talking with other chinny people

the second cage thing only applys to permanent cages we have a baby cage we have a dad cage i dont breedback so dad gets his own cage for a few days or mom and kits move to a new cage it depends on the situation but the big cage is the only permanent cage
i have like 6 cages all different sizes but the big one is the only one is always in use

i had 13 chinchillas when i got sick i sold alot of my bigger cages when i sold my herd they over ran the living room so i promised my hubby i would keep it small
i am not healthy enough for large scale breeding and even when i had 13 they all had their own large cages i had beige's black velvets standard greys and a mosaic
 
as a matter of fact my avatar has been floating around the net for years but it is my very first chinchilla her name was mitchew and i cut her out of a pic mirrored it and boom it looks like she is running 
bye for now ...Tami

General Breeder Chat / adding a female to the cage

« on: February 25, 2012, 03:40:32 PM »

hi all i am new to this forum i am not new to chinchillas i had the years ago
then i had to let my whole herd go when my health went down hill  
my health is now managed by alot of meds I now have just 1 cage with a violet male and a standard grey v/c female
my hubby told me i can add 1 female to the cage so i am very excited but i am not sure what color to go with since my male is a violet
can anyone help me with my color choice?
i am thinking about a mosaic can you breed a violet mosaic? if not why?
maybe a pink and white
see i am just lost i want to maximize my chances for color mutations
i promised my hubby i would not add anymore cages to the house so i want to be careful about my choice
i have never put more than 2 females and 1 male to a cage even if the cage is huge so i want to make the best choice i can since its the last one i may get for a long time
bye all thanks for your time and help bye for now...Tami
