I was absolutely shocked when I saw a glider in person for the first time. I just couldn't get over how little they are. 
You just cant get a good size reference from pictures. They are unbelievable!

Maybe a few "sticky's" in the Health section. How to check for Hair Ring, Anatomy (maybe a link to a picture for male/female. That's all I can think of at the moment.
Maybe something about "What to look for when getting a chinchilla for the first time??" whether they are buying for a breeder/petstore. Whatever.
Basic breeding tip, like dont breed chins with know genetic risks, or unknown backgrounds.

General Chat / My Violet Boy
« on: May 25, 2006, 02:24:18 PM »
I recently purchased a Violet male. He is just lovely. He is out of Mike at OCC and comes from show lines. He is just a lovely boy. I am going to be making a trip out the Bowens in the next month or so and finding him a mate, more than likely a nice big standard girl or perhaps a violet carrier. He has good size and is very blue. 
The only weakness he does have is tightness in the fur, its still good, but not as tight as I would want, so we are going to try for V/C's in this first pairing.
He hasnt been handled a lot, so he's a big of a scaredy chin, and he slips fur quite a bit, so I am trying to get him used to me. He is doing much better and will now come to the from on the run for treats or a quick scratch.
His former mate actually just gave birth yesterday to 2 kits a violet male 64g and a mosaic female 62g. They are fabulous. I can't wait to see the kits I'll get from him. LOL Since he is going to be the first of my herd, I'm sure I'll want his kits to stay forever. I'm hoping to gain a little more size and a bit tighter fur with my first generation. I'm really excited about this guy.
Here's a picture. Sorry for the bad lighting(Yucky bathroom lighting
), I took these quickly with my camera phone. I need to get some good natural light shots of him, and full body pictures. He is truly a lovely boy.

Other Pets / Sugar Gliders
« on: May 25, 2006, 09:28:26 AM »
I just got 2 sugar gliders on Sunday. They are so great! They are half sisters and 8 weeks out of pouch (OOP). 
I love watching them play. They've been a lot of fun to watch so far, they are little acrobats.
I'll have to post their pictures in a little while since Photobucket is undergoing maintenance.
