Welcome to my website dedicated to chinchillas and the people who love them.  Let me start off by telling you about my chins.

 

My love for chinchillas began when I was 12 years old while helping a friend with a "rodent show".  In this "show" where chinchillas, and I soon said that someday I would have one.  Unfortunately, my mom would never let me.  Then a few weeks after I graduated from college, I told my mom it was time.  She didn't believe me... but an hour later I cam home with Nermal, a female standard gray.

 

That was in June of 1999.  Then in March of 2000 the "addiction" took hold again.  I traveled from Pittsburgh, PA to Cincinnati, OH to pick up Miss Lucy.  Lucy is a beige female born on 28 December 1999.

So that's my "family," and I am sure it will expand again with in the next year.  (I bet mom will love that!!)

Below you will find links to what I think are some of the most helpful things to know when owning a chinchilla.
