what camera are you using, btw?

I am using DSLR. My oldest chin is 4yr+ youngest is baby chin.

i wish tat chinchilla is very big so tat i could hug them to sleep

Me too!!!

hahahah, that would be nice! my bed will be full of chinchillas then

Chinchillas, for male chins which are NOT used for breeding.. will we have to remove hair ring often for them? from what i have read, we need to check about once every 1-2 months... but in reality, is that the case? just wondering if its more frequent or less frequent...

my husband is very uncomfortable with the idea of doing the hair ring removal hahahahahaha he says he doesn't want to violate the chin, even tho i've told him that it is necessary to make sure the chin is healthy, no blood circulation problem or infection etc..

Everybody also wish to have a super big chinchilla to hug for sleep.

Hair ring check is a common practise among breeding chin, if for none breeding chin, hair ring check can be done WHEN neccesary or 2 months once. It is a very simple thing, but need some 'practise' tho. Just make sure don't pull untill it break.. You can also do the check when your chin showing sign of unconfortable or keep on 'heading' there. So far I check my chins once every 2 months or so or when showing 'sign' to me.


The ugly side of chinchilla(only this chin...FLATTEN! Ugly....)

hmm..that means still have to check that area.. hahaha he's really uncomfortable with the thought of having to do it

do chins always sleep in that position?? bunnies do it too, ppl call it 'meatloaf' is there a term for chins when they sleep like that?

hahaha... then you do it for your future chin lor. Is very easy la. Nothing to worry.

Well, for chin, I hv not know what name to call on that position. Chin sleep in many position, some is terrible cute ! But I wont be able to capture picture easily on that, they heard me when walk close to the cage, but some is like sleeping beauty... especially pregnant chin, like a PIECE OF HUGE MEAT PILE! 1 of my female chin look like the belly going to blow...

the chin will not struggle when you pull it out?? o_O

i know what you mean! very difficult for me to get the bunnies' pictures too.. and chins are even faster than bunnies haha

do you have a picture of your pregnant chin?? i want to seeeee!!!

They will struggle when you pull it, that's why must be very careful, but most of it we stay still when you pull it(afraid you break then i think! )

The belly picture I posted on top is a chin who pregnant. I dont hv the whole picture of them, cos no disturb...

ya lor, quite afraid of pulling too hard, and then i read that we must be careful not to pull out too much, if not then it cannot go in again hahah i think that's why he is scared of doing it.. because of that he is thinking better get female chin haha

she is pregnant? she must have a very firm tummy!! hehe

this is how my chin sleep .

Finally you put up picture! But only 1, not enough la! Show the whole cage la, show more photos la. We been waiting.

later bro , its not easy to take pic of the chin . i try to take a few pics, but not very nice. i didn't on the flash , so the pic is abit dark .
i have to take it out from the cage in order to take clear view of it .
but the chin is hyper active at night. can't even stay at the spot for 3 second .
then begin to explore the place.
i bought the alfafa and oat hay , mix with timothy , the chin love it.
i think he like alfafa most .

Great! That is a healthy sign of a baby chin active at night. All small animal will love alfalfa hay, but it can't be feed all the time except now when the chin still young need extra protein and calcium.

2nights ago

my housemate chin was so hyperactive

i tot wat was tat sound
