$850 Sing

the TALK method can work with SG authorities?? I'm afraid they won't let me through or confiscate my chin

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that chins from SG are of better quality. Its just that i find it hard to find chins for sale in KL. Sometimes I see them in pet shops, but sometimes i dont see any for a long long time. And also, sometimes the ones in petshops seem to have some skin problems, botak here and there. If there is a breeder in Malaysia, i would definitely prefer to get from that person rather than go through the hassle of driving to SG, going through customs, etc. I will definitely only buy from a good breeder, not like that girl you wanted to report to SPCA SG I would prefer if the breeder socialises with the chin when the chin is a baby, and also I want to get a bonded pair (probably female & female pair, cos i don't want to breed)

Shingin, I have come across adoption posts before. Sometimes a small fee is required. Sometimes they use the term 'rehoming' because SG AVA is very strict about the sale of pets. I have nothing against adoption, if there is a chin which is going to be abandoned, i'd be more than happy to take it in.

This is something your may like, it is sooooooooooooooooo adorable....

-----------------------------------

I have tried before to adopt from them, but is it very very hard, i even get cheat! I mean cheat is not in money by when i confirm with them to save the chin and make an afford to ask my friend to travel there to get from him, his said he already GIVE TO HIS friend to adopt! imagine if i go down to singapore from KL, how much time and effort waste which this kind of singaporian!

Those Singaporian who choose to give up chin, when they choose to do that they will dump to who ever can help them to get rit of the the chin as fast as possible to let them self loose. This is one of the chin i try to save...




see what the hack this idiot is doing! The owner may have release him in the wild already...

to take an animal out from SG, you need a SG export permit. That is the info i got from their AVA website. but i guess in practice its different? so the SG customs saw your chins but didnt ask for any export permit?

how is that chin now? poor thing.. luckily you're giving it a good life now!

BTW, your friend who is a breeder, is he from SG or Msia?

SG Custom didnt say anything.

About the chin, as I said, I been cheated by that guys, he didnt even pick up my call when my friend waited in front of his house! so we give up and later I ask my sis to call from singapore, then only he tell that he gave to his friend already. MY! Then don't confirm with me the time and the date!

Anyway I hope this chin get someone to take care off too.

oh, sorry! i misunderstood you i thought that guy cheating you was one situation, and the chin in the photo was another chin that you rescued in a different situation hehe

poor thing how can ppl be so cruel!

OMG!!! this is soooooooooooooo cute!!!
How can it realise that it has already finish chewing and look for food in the cup while sleeping... awesome...

Ikano pet shop are selling few chins there, price range around 650-850.. but the cage their using to put the chin is those rabbit cage (wired ground)

Ya, I saw that at Ikano, well they have put some newspaper inside the cage floor, so the chin's leg wont get stuck on the wire bottom. Of cause newspaper is not a good choise, but is better the broken leg. I have suggested few more thing to them, hopefully they apply. Toby pet's boss is very welling to receive the suggestion, you can see it from his attitude, but dont know the stuff ...

That chin cute isnt it? I am also get poison by that, never thought of Chin, while sleeping still can be eatting as well!

I read your post about chins quite often, and I noticed at Ikano that the hay they are putting for the chins, almost 90% of the hay fall down to the bottom of the cage, leaving few straws only... They planning to starve the chins izzit?

The boss should check on thier staffs and the animals they are selling loh for the sake of responsibility... Few days back I went to taman megah pet shop (beside ming tian food court), there was a dead hamster flesh inside the cage with other alive hamsters!!

The hay?

I can said 100% of the hay they feed them is useless, is completely dead brown. So drop on the bottom of the cage or not , doesnt really matter.

Chin: Thank you so much for the video... soooooooooooooooo cute!!!!
Later I have search for some other video and found some very interesting video of Chincilla [Sand Bathing] Super interesting!!!! Go to youtube and search for chincilla sand bath... so many out there. My favourite one is tis one, chincilla singing in the shower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iY7zjRJ4jE Cool

After seeing the photo you posted online (the one going to be abandon/homeless chin)... I feel like whacking the owner. I really hate this type of ppl... they got no right to keep any pet in their whole life.

Jan11: I saw some very nice chincilla at ikano, 3 black RM850 each, 2 cinamon RM750 each, 6 grey RM650 each. The sales girl told me that those chins are imported from Spain. I have left my name at the pet shop earlier and they called me to view the chin... have you gotten any from Ikano? If not... may be you can leave you name at the pet shop, the malay sales girl is very friendly and she will call you when there is any new chincilla. Happy Hunting!!!

Thanks shingin! i did see the chins at ikano, but when i was there, there were only 5 left. really really tempted to get a pair, but we're holding off at the moment until we move to a bigger place next year, then i can give the chins one whole room to themselves i hope there will be chins available when i'm ready for them!

how about you? did you get any chins from ikano?

Everytime I enter this thread, Chinchilla always make me sad .... coz I cant get it now and I love them so damn much.

Whats with the Chin Chinchilla?

My chinchilla is fine. But currently I don't have any chin available yet, all get book. If planning get chin from Ikano,I suggest get the Standard grey, the other mutation doesnt look good(fur and health) to me.

Chin, when will ur baby chins available? Once i'm ready to have a chin, i sure find u... last month a petshop ask me if i want a chin (he knows i'm a pet lover), but i'm not ready to have one at this moment. Plus, i dun have any knowledge about keeping a chin. Must learn first... Betul tak Chin?

Haha.. thanks for your free Promo.

Ya, must learn first, is good for your chin. I go for quality fresh hay, not much on brand. With the chins I have now, I need lots of hay. They eat about 12kg of timothy hay per months now and increasing. I am very picky on hay.

Actually how many chin do u have now?

Today saw 2 Chin @ Pet safari, both black. Likes jumping..

wow 12kg of hay per mth?? that is a LOT! you must have tons of chins haha my 2 rabbits only take 1kg of hay each mth!

hmm.. i think next time when i'm ready for a chin, i must ask chinchillas to follow me to the petshops! cos when i saw the chins at ikano, i thought their fur all looked OK. guess my eyes are not expert enough how do you tell if the fur is nice, chinchillas? it should be thick rite?
