Web site Reviews / Softie's Chin-torium
« on: July 09, 2008, 03:37:48 AM »
I'm in the process of building a chinchilla informational website - here is the URL, I'd love to hear some feedback  http://eden.rutgers.edu/~mwolff/abc.html

If anyone has photos of their chins for the color chart, I would definitely use them.  Also, if anyone would like to contribute anything (a page, a section, additional info) I will gladly put it on my site with proper credits.

General Chat / Chinchilla greeting cards, stickers, shirts, etc.
« on: April 16, 2008, 11:28:57 AM »
I just opened up an account with CafePress which will offer chinchilla greeting cards, bumper stickers, clothes, etc. with really cute pictures on them.  I mainly set up the account because a few people have asked about greeting cards with the famous birthday picture  rofl

I think that Hallmark's version of the card does not do the picture justice!  It took 80 shots before I got the perfect photo, and Hallmark just cropped out Newie's tail and shrunk down my hard work to a size you can barely see!

So anyway, my store is www.cafepress.com/chinsinhats       I chose cafepress because I've heard many good things about them, including fast shipping, good customer service and high quality stuff.  I'm still in the process of cleaning up the photos, but I have a few good ones ready for shirts.  The birthday card is finished and ready if anyone is still interested in that.

All my graphics (the completed ones anyway) are very high quality; they don't look like cookie cut-outs of chinchillas, they still look fuzzy around the edges and they still have whiskers.  However, the backgrounds are transparent so it doesn't look like a photo pasted onto a shirt.  I can do custom photos, custom captions, whatever you want, just let me know.  Or if you like one of my photos, let me know so I can prioritize the list of photos I need to clean up. My uncle is a professional graphic designer, so I learned from the best.

I tried to keep the prices down - I only make like 50 cents per item, but I enjoy what I do and I want everyone to share the joy that I feel when I see my wonderful pets.  All proceeds will be going toward my vet school fund! (I want to be a small animal specialist).

So check out my store  www.cafepress.com/chinsinhats     and feel free to contact me about anything.

General Chat / How smart are Chinchillas?
« on: April 12, 2008, 01:37:41 PM »
I often wonder how smart chinchillas are.  Honestly, sometimes I'm really disappointed when I call to them and they try to come through the cage bars rather than using the door.  And I know that they know where the cage doors are!

But I was pleasantly surprised when Newie learned how to open the lid to his jar of almond treats.

See it for yourself

My chinchillas are going to be on a Hallmark card!!! Vote for their card to be printed for a year and also be featured in another card

I always look for chinchilla merchandise at gift stores and I'm always disappointed.
