I am new and wanted to introduce myself
« on: February 13, 2007, 01:44:16 PM »
I hope this is in the right place!  However, I'm sure one of the nice mods will move it for me if it's not.  I am new to this forum and I just wanted to say hello to everyone.  I just adopted my first chinchilla on the first of February.  He is a standard gray named Raisin and is about 9 months old.  He's very sweet and is warming up to me quicker then I expected.  Currently I am finishing up college.  I am an elementary education major and I am student teaching with 4th grade this semester.  I will graduate in May.  I am excited to meet you all and know I will enjoy chatting with everyone.

Hi Jenni,
Nice to meet you.
So what made you decide on a chinchilla as a pet?
Be careful of their cuteness, it's very powerful, folks seem to become addictive ;D
I did pretty good going from one pair to 30 chins, some of the gals fell hook line and sinker and have 100's.
We would love to see a picture of your first chinchilla Raisin. ::nod::

PS Please do not take the chinchilla in for "Show & Tell" ... they don't do well with loud or sudden noises.   ::)

LOL my kids are already bugging me to bring him in.  They are 4th graders so possibly they could handle it but I don't think I'm going to risk freaking the poor guy out. 



This is my curious little guy.  He was wondering what the camera was.  I'm sure if I let him get close he'd have tried to nibble it.

As a 4th grade first year teacher who just inherited a Chin as a class pet.  Don't take it to school.  Mine is doing very well, but the 4th graders are still very inquisitive.  Good luck with the chin and the teaching.

I hope you take that baby home a lot.  Since they need lots of playtime and they aren't really up during the school day.  I did consider bringing mine in just for them to see but I'd never have a chinchilla as a class pet.  About the only thing I would consider as a class pet would be a fish.
