General Chat / Frazier Park, CA Show
« on: January 22, 2007, 04:06:49 PM »
Is anyone going to the Frazier Park show in April this year? I think I'm going to head over with another friend. I went last year and had a really good time. I'm looking forward to going to meeting a lot of nice people again. I believe its around the 28th, but I don't have details as of right now.

Chit Chat / I got engaged this weekend.
« on: January 22, 2007, 10:32:03 AM »
My boyfriend has been asking me for a while to get married, but I never really took him seriously. He showed me just how serious he is this weekend. He put down a deposit on a ring. I need to get a picture of it. We need to pay $600 more and then I'll have it on my finger. We've been trying to save money, so we are going to have a small wedding. Probably a Las Vegas wedding and then a nice party at home. I need to start looking for dresses. Good thing I just started my diet. ha ha. I'm excited. We don't know when we'll set the date yet.

I haven't been around much anywhere lately, but I'm back.
My long term boyfriend and I just broke up on bad terms, so I'm in a bit of a slump.
I'm just trying to get back to myself and doing the things that interest me and make me happy. My animals definetly do that for me.

Has anyone seen the new Soft Scrub commercial featuring a chinchilla? It's really cute. I was watching TV a few nights ago and saw it and I saw it again last night.
Keep watch for it.

Other Pets / Gliders... a big surprise!
« on: October 16, 2006, 03:33:12 PM »
I had a big surprise from one of my gliders. I have 5 gliders total in 2 separate cages. My first cage is my 3 girls Lily, Lola, and Laila. Lily and Lola are my first gliders they are half sisters I got as joeys. Laila is a young female I was given because she was taken out of breeding for cannibalizing her previous joeys. 
So Laila came to live with me and the girls. I also have 2 boys Jake and Twitch who live in the cage across the room from the girls.
My Laila is a shy girl, so she never lets me see her tummy. On Tuesday Oct. 3rd, I got Laila out of her sleeping pouch and was absolutely shocked to see a joey(baby glider) hanging out of her pouch! I think my jaw hit the floor. Laila had come to me preggo. I was excited and scared at the same time. I called my breeder friend and Laila's previous owner to come over and take a look at my surprise. I hadn't done a lot of research on joeys, so I was nervous about messing with the little ones too much. My friend checked out Laila and found not 1 but 2 joeys in the pouch. 2 little boys. Laila has never let her joeys come out of pouch before, so we decided to cross our fingers and let nature take its course. I have been hoping that these little boys would make it, but with Laila's past history, I wasn't getting my hopes up.
I am very happy to say that Friday October 13 these little boys officially came out of pouch. We are naming them Lucky and Chance. I will attempt to get pictures of these little cuties up this week to share. They are the size of my pinkie finger.

A Poem That Gives You Goosebumps...
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six-car pileup
On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about
"And blood was everywhere,"
"The sirens screamed out eulogies,"
For death was in the air.
"A mother, trapped inside her car,"
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
"Oh, God, please spare my boys!"
She fought to loose her pinned hands;
"She struggled to get free,"
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
"On where the back seat once had been,"
But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
"She did not hear them cry, "
"And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, "
"Oh, God, don't let them die! "
Then firemen came and cut her loose, "
"But when they searched the back, "
"They found therein no little boys, "
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad
"And was traveling alone, "
"But when they turned to question her, "
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
"In beseeching supplication, "
Please help me find my boys!
They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
"Their jeans are blue to match""
"One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car, "
And they don't have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
"And gave them each a cone, "
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home.
"I've searched the area high and low, "
But I can't find their dad.
"He must have fled the scene, "
"I guess, and that is very bad."
"The mother hugged the twins and said, "
"While wiping at a tear, "
"He could not flee the scene, you see, "
"For he's been dead a year."
"The cop just looked confused and asked, "
"Now, how can that be true? "
"The boys said, ""Mommy, Daddy came "
"And left a kiss for you."" "
He told us not to worry
"And that you would be all right, "
And then he put us in this car with
"The pretty, flashing light. "
"We wanted him to stay with us, "
"Because we miss him so, "
"But Mommy, he just hugged us tight "
And said he had to go.
He said someday we'd understand
"And told us not to fuss, "
"And he said to tell you, Mommy, "
"He's watching over us."
The mother knew without a doubt
"That what they spoke was true, "
"For she recalled their dad's last words, "
" I will watch over you."
The firemen's notes could not explain
"The twisted, mangled car, "
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
"But on the cop's report was scribed, "
"In print so very fine, "
An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.

New Births / Awww 1 Kit.
« on: July 17, 2006, 10:46:05 AM »
I am babysitting my friends herd right now, she brought them over on Saturday night. I have gone from 3 to 23 chins! 
It's fun. My chins are all in my bedroom and her chinnies are in the dining room. She told me to check on Lexi every morning because she was due any day. I am so excited about having so many chins around I have been talking to them all and just staring at them anyways, but no babies when I got up on Sunday. We decided last minute to head down to San Diego and go to the zoo for the day. 
We had a great time and were there for about 8 hours.
Guess what I heard when I walked back into the house.... baby squeeks!!! I figured it might be some of the older babies, but I ran to the new cage and there was mama and then right behind her was a small black tail. So I reached in and pulled out 1 little ebony kit. It's a male. I didn't breed these chinnies, but I feel like a proud parent. This was the first chinny birth I've ever had. It's amazing how tiny they are. I am going to pick up a scale today on my way home from work to get a weight. I did go ahead and do a 50/50 water apple juice mix to help mama get some milk in.
This is sooo exciting.

Breeding 101 / Labor gone wrong...
« on: July 11, 2006, 02:53:08 PM »
Yesterday a good friend of mine had one of her females and 4 kits die yesterday afternoon. My violet male was the father. Just thought I would share the experience with everyone and just add that things like this are exactly why it is sooo important to have a good vet available before you begin any breeding. If anyone is a member of any of the other chinchilla boards, you may have seen this. It's definetly something that I have thought about since I plan of start my own herd one day.
I might as well post now since it will never get any easier..and I really am too emotional to speak with any human being..
Today I went out to pop ice cubes into the water bottles of my chinnies since when I cleaned bottles last night I had no frozen ones... I ran out of cubes and went back into the house to get some more.. where I got caught up talking to my mom for a good amount of time about my aunt (she got engaged on Saturday after being with her boyfriend for 14 years.. so this is BIG news and a much awaited event!!).
Went back out to my chinnies and noticed that Eve, my heavily pregnant standard v/c had some blood in her cage, this was new too.. as it was not there earlier in the morning nor the time that I went out to give cubes at first.
Being the most paranoid human being that you will ever come across, I ran upstairs and told my mom that we needed to go to the vet. I think I did this because I have seen 2 prolapsed chins in my time of chin ownership and I am scared to death that it's going to happen to one of my babies. My mom went down to the chins with me to look at her.. it was very little blood, mostly just on her little area and a tiny bit on the shavings. There was no sign of anything else, this wasn't a prolapse... there was nothing out of the ordinary other than blood. My mom said that when humans have babies.. the plug/water (I am so scatter brained right now that I don't remember what the heck she said) is what goes first and before there is any pushing.. there is blood. So for a human, this would be normal.
I've never seen a Chinchilla give birth.. EVER.. and now I'd really like to. Usually I come home from school or work to find kits that weren't there early in the morning.
What made me panic is that chinnies usually have their kits in the early morning.. this was later in the afternoon.. not usual for a chin to be giving birth. So after debating with my mom.. and me wanting to run to the vet, I called him up. He called back pretty quickly after getting my message.
I explained to him what I was seeing, and that Eve was acting normal. She was alert and responsive.. but laying flat, not on her side.. After a little while she started having contractions, or at least that is what I think that they were. Dr. Greek told me that this was more than likely normal, and that it was totally up to me if I took her in or not. They got me an appointment after someone cancelled.. he said she may just need more time, but not seeing her, only hearing what I was telling him.. that it seemed okay. I asked him if time was a factor (the appointment being a 1/2 hour away) and he said that it wouldn't make a difference.
After watching her lay there and do nothing for another couple of minutes I decided hands down that we were going to see the vet. I worry about everything, and my first gut feeling being "go to the vet", I had to go with it.
The vet is only about 7~10 minutes up the road from my house. My friend was over, she went and started her truck to get it nice and cold and then I took Eve out and we were off. One part of the road turns into an actual highway.. where you can go 55 MPH, but it's a very short strech.
While we were on that strech Eve started gasping out of nowhere.. she was gasping for air and then her tail started spinning. Thank God I wasn't driving, I probably would have killed us all because I panicked. We were less than 5 minutes away so all I could do is yell at her to step on it. We pulled into the parking lot and it was too late.. my baby girl had stopped breathing. Right there, that soon, that quickly. When help was so close but so far.
I ran inside with her and told the receptionist that I needed to see Tom right away, she was on the phone and told me to hold on. That's when I got even more upset.. or angry I guess you could say. I rudely interrupted her and told her that I couldn't hold on, that my Chinchilla had stopped breathing just a few minutes ago out in the parking lot and that she was pregnant. She took 10 or 15 minutes (or maybe just that long in my panicked mind) to get off the phone and take her back.. she didn't get off the phone after I told her the first time so I started knocking on the counter with my hand.. like an impatient *****. Must have worked because she put the caller on hold and took Eve back to the doctor.
They called me back a few minutes later and put me in a room. Dr. Greek came in and told me that she was gone.. he said he didn't feel any movement in her belly but he still felt some muscle twitches.. and asked me if I wanted him to see if any kits were alive. I told him yes.. so he left me and went back to see what he could do.
Came back about 20 minutes later.. he told me that there were 4 kits but that they were already gone... I don't think I've ever cried so much in front of anybody. My Eve was gone.. and took 4 angels with her.
As to cause of death.. I really don't understand. Dr. Greek told me that she had a lot of fluid in her uterus and that it looked to be unusually damaged. He said that 1 kit was positioned to come out of the birth canal and that it looked as though a kit had died.. and caused toxicity.. which killed Eve and her babies.
Is this something that even happens? I've read of stillborn kits being born.. so why didn't they cause toxicity and kill the mother??
I didn't know that a kit dying inside of it's mother was toxic. Or was this because she was about to give birth?
I'm always reading and lurking forums, I have NEVER heard of this. I've been searching since it happened and I still haven't found anything.
I am so confused.. and I'm so upset. I haven't lost an adult Chinchilla in a really, really long time and it's the hardest thing to have to deal with. I was so attached to Eve... she came to me as a girl that didn't like to be held, and left me as one of my favorite girls.. who loved to let me pet her and loved the attention. She always kept herself so clean, truly a feminine girl.. kept herself looking good by using her bath and never pooped in her hammock. I miss her so much already. What hurts the most is that when I got her I had absolutely no intent on breeding her..I didn't even have a violet male when I got her.. and I never placed her with a male. I got breeding runs.. and then a new pair of chins.. placed them in my "violet and v/c run".. then noticed the male missing one day, found him in Eve's cage, and realized that he and his mate had gotten their little metal plate out and it was no longer blocking the hole. Eve had gotten hers out as well, and so did another chin in one of my other runs. Mystique got Eve pregnant at the time, because I never put him back with her. So, she got pregnant due to MY stupidity and not knowing how to properly lock those plates in.. so she is dead because of me.
May Eve, and my first litter of quads, S12, S13, S14, and S15 rest in peace..
I just wanted to add a photo of Eve.
And a few things that I forgot to mention: when I got Eve she was a proven breeder, and originated from Nor Cal Chins. She had a healthy litter of triplets right before I got her. And from what I was told everything went smoothly, and she was a wonderful mother.
I just can't help but wonder what went so wrong.. she was so healthy, and looking wonderful.

Other Pets / Kittens

On Saturday I walked out to check my mailbox and found a mama kitty (I've seen her around, she's probably someones pet they abandoned) and she had 4 kittens. They were all hanging out in the bushes in the shade (it was 105 degrees on Sat!!) I don't know where she's had those kittens hidden, but their about 8 weeks old. Mama is very thin, but I'll get her fattened up. I have a black and white male, a tabby male, a calico female, and a torti female mama looks like siamese. Of coarse i couldn't leave them out in that heat, so I've gone from 1 cat to 6!! The little calico girl has gotten a home. Mama is an outdoor cat, so if I can't find her a home, I'll get her spayed and make sure she stays fed. The kittens are a lot of fun! We will probably keep any kittens we can't find homes for. Here's the kitties after a bath! LOL They were not happy.
