Reccommended: Essential Guide to Owning a Chinchilla

To all prospective owners of chinchillas, I would recommend you pick up a copy of this. It has all information you need to get you started with understanding your new pet & friend.

This book is one of the best and is very detailed. You can pick this up from amazon.co.uk and it costs about £8 (or £6 incl postage if you dont mind getting a used copy)

A little update on the chinc/kits, 2 of them, will be ready to leave mum on 15th November. They are born on 23rd of August. They are as follows:

a) Hetro-Beige Male, £70
b) Homo-Beige Male, £70

Other 3 chins born will be ready on 16th January
a) Standard Grey Male, £65
b) Standard Grey Male, £65
c) Hetro-Beige Male, £70

That's all for now. I will be posting pictures of them as soon as possible.

3 New arrivals

We have 3 new arrivals yesterday. They are 2 Standard Greys and a Hetro Beige. We decided not to sex them yet as they are still suckling and mum is tired and tending to them. Pictures to follow soon :)

In the meantime we suspect Cotton, our pink white chin is pregnant... more updates to follow.

Back from holidays

We have just came back from our 1 month holiday. Apologies to everyone if we have not been able to answer your queries and questions.

recent developments in Chin-World

     After a week, Bubbles and Earl have got acustomed to one another and are not "fence fighting" anymore. Will observe them and see if they are ready to have the pop hole opened. Hope they both get used to each other.

Meanwhile, the 2 kits born on the 23rd of August are doing fine and are running and jumping all over the cage. Mum is doing fine as well. Had their first out of the cage explore yesterday.

Adpoted Chinchillas

We had an email a few days ago from a chin owner who had to relocate her chinchillas due to new family commitments. So we picked them up yesterday :)

here are the new additions

Star, a standard grey female born on March of 2008



Cotton, a pink white female, born on Febuary of 2008



Clay, a Hetro-Beige male, born on Jan of 2008



Earl, a standard grey male, born on the 10th of May 2010




We left one of our girls with her as she was looking for a suitable companion for her 4 year old ebony female chin. They got along pretty well and so we left her with her new companion.

Good bye little baby :) see you in the future.

New Arrivals!!!

Yesterday whilst routinely cleaning up the area where the chins live in, We noticed a small tiny tail wriggling.

Unaware that any chins are pregnant, we were surprised to find twins!!

We have transferred the babies and mum along with elder sister over to a different cage.

More pictures and updates to follow.
