  • Children and Chinchillas
    - Author Jamie Huggins - I am a stay at home mother with two small children and I also own a herd of 55 chinchillas. I’ve had people ask me how I can find the time to do both. What do I do with the kids when I need to work in the chinchilla building? I’ve also had mother’s call me, interested in buying a chinchilla but worried that they shouldn’t own one because they were told children and chinchillas don’t mix. So in answer to those questions I though I would introduce you to my family...

  • Do you have what it takes to be a breeder?
    - Author: JoAnn- There are many pros and cons to being a breeder and MANY things that need to be considered BEFORE deciding to become a breeder. I am going to be very blunt in what I say, but, for all the chinchillas of future breeders, I feel this is necessary. I will start with the hard questions you must ask yourself, and then go to the questions on the better side of breeding.

    - Author Jamie - I have gotten a lot of questions over the years about breeding chinchillas. Is it easy? Is it profitable? Is it worth it? I can't answer these questions for everyone, but I can tell you my story and what breeding chinchillas was like for me.

  • When am I Considered a Breeder?
    - Author: Jamie Huggins - What am I considered a breeder? This is a question I have been asked and I have seen asked on forums over and over again. Technically if you have chinchillas that are breeding you are a breeder. What you should be asking is when am I considered a good and respectable breeder?
