Title: I supposed I should sign. :)
Post by: chinchillagrl06 on May 30, 2006, 03:13:18 PM

My name is Sarah. I'm 22 years old. I work as an administrative assistant at a home health/hospice agency. I currently own (or do they own me??) 3 chinchillas, 2 sugar gliders, 1 rabbit, and 1 cat.  ::silly::
My animals are very special to me, they know just how to brighten up the day. :) I can't imagine my life without my pets, they are my joys. ::silly::
I hope to begin my herd within the next year. I have been reading all I can about breeding, babies, hand feeding kits, possible problems... ect. ect. ect... There is sooo much information out there. I am going to be starting small. with 1 breeding pair. I will see how I do there and decide if I am ready/wanting to expand. I know I am going to have a difficult time giving up any of my kits born.  :-[
I love talking about my pets, chinnies and suggies! ::silly:: Feel free to add me to your AIM buddy list if you want to chat away.  :::grins::

It will grow fast. :::grins:: I remember when I started out with just a few chinchillas now I have a herd of 110 chinchillas...not counting the 30 babies I have yet to wean!  ::)  And they certainly own me!  :D

::silly:: Hi!

Learn the word 'NO'

I started with 2 females for my birthday in November and ask for two males for them for Christmas .... by summer, I had 20 ... by my next birthday, I had 40 ... and the story continues ... now I have over 200 ... believe me, they own me! rofl
There are times  :'(  when you loose one,
 times when you will wonder if you will get any sleep  :o (bottle feeding quads),
 times when you will wonder ::shrug:: what to do next when one is sick or injured,
 times when you rofl laugh so hard your side hurts at their antics,
 times you look into a cage and see this tiny miniature of an adult chin running and playing and your heart swells will amazement at this precious little creature ... and you squeal "We have babies!"  ::nod::  I love it and wouldn't give it up for anything!

 ::wave::

I am definetly excited about starting my own herd, but I know I need to see if I am really up to this. That's why I need to go small with 1 or 2 pairs first before expanding.  :D

Yes they bring so much joy, I can't imagine life without them.
I started with one pair, got me 27+ now, LOL ::nod::
That's my limit, not much of a market here, but that's OK I like it small.
