I figure its about time I jump in here and get some reviews on my site.  I'm sure I have a bunch of grammer problems and such.

Let me know what I can change to improve!

I absolutely love the Virtual Tour.  I think it's unique and helps people to get a wonderful sense of how you run your chinchilla "business."

You have wonderful information available.  You should be very proud of your work!  I think that the sexing information is some of the best available online.   

I would make note on the puzzle page that it takes a bit of time for the puzzle to load so that people don't think there's something wrong.  The first puzzle took awhile to load for me, but they loaded quickly after that.

I don't like that the "Back" button on the browser does not work.  I would recommend putting your links on the top and bottom of the page because of this.  That way, if you're at the bottom of the page, you can click on the next link rather than having to scroll back up to do so.

Your web page rocks. Lots of good info. Do you mind If I put a link to your page on my website?

Thankyou!  I would love for you to link to it.

I could add a few comments on the site.
I assume the site is generally to advertise your chinchillas and the front page does a good job of doing that. It gives your location and the types of chinchlllas available as well as a little information about you as a breeder.

A couple of suggestions:
1. The site could work well with a narrower width. There's a lot of white space in the middle and a narrow width could fill it up nicely. You can look at sites like Yahoo.com or The New Nork Times site as examples of how the narrow width can reduce whitespace in the middle.
2. The modules on the left side of the page looks uneven. Some have a light blue header and some have a dark blue header. If the header-body-footer colors and layout of each module look the same, it could make the left side look more cohesive.

Overall, I can see a lot of work went into the site and there are a lot of good things such as the product reviews so great job.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  Anything else?

When the "< Back" is used, some pages it works on, others it does not.

Under Chinchilla Information
I love your section on questions and answers!  A MUST READ for everyone! 
For those who take for granted many things are just "common sense", you will see, this is NOT always so!

Some of the pictures on the "for sale" pages are a little out of focus.

I love your "Press & Awards" Page!


A great site with tons of good information, fairly easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye.

Those darn chinchillas just won't cooperate with me! For some reason they prefer to try and explore the floor rather than smiling at the camera and saying "cheese"!     So as my patients dwindles I can live without focus if I actually manage to get all of the chinchilla in the picture instead of just a tail!

Been there - done that - many times!

   Blurs, tails and empty space!  

   I took 11 shots on one chin today and the only one that was not a blur ... it was a picture of ... his little butt!

    You would not believe how elongated a kit can make his face "look" when you snap a picture as he runs toward you!!!

I actually constructed a pine "light box" of sorts.  It is enclosed on all sides except the front, which makes the photos a little easier.  I also cut to size different colored pieces of foam poster board, so I can easily change the background.  Then all you have to do is set up your light source so it is shining into the box.  It actually seems to work pretty well.
I can usually get a pretty good photo within 15 minutes.

I used to do something similar...  I had a empty square cage that I lined with a white sheet.  I would put them in and leave the door open to snap pictures.  Unfortunately, the cage is now being held hostage by a storage area with a key I've misplaced.
