Had a baby chinchilla born yesterday, wanted to share pictures!

As I have mentioned on here before, I breed chinchillas as pets. Yesterday, I had the nicest looking baby boy born here. He is a tan white, with a nice big tan spot on his back. Such unique markings, I love it

sorry for the darkness of the picture, I didn't use the flash, since it usually washes their true colour out

Thanks everyone, I love it when we have a new baby around here
manville, I have been to the bug zoo a few times. I haven't been since they moved about a year ago, but when I went before the move, I thought it was awesome. They have some pretty cool stuff in the gift shop too. Hmmm, maybe I am overdue for a bug zoo visit.
They use to have this really cool housing for their ant colonies, it was built up against the walls, with clear tubes running from room to room, so every room you went to, you could see the ant colonies.

Oh boy, they still do. I am not sure about the last place but i think it looks great. The ant colony is awesome.

Very cute! The thing I like about chinchillas is that they are cute the whole way through, they don't lose the cuteness or innocence(unlike cats).

So Chinchillas just have a single offspring I take it?

It is cute! Do you leave it with the momma for a while as well?

Chinchillas can have (on average) 1-3 offspring, although I recently had quads born here. Most times moms can only handle one or two, so I end up rotating and handfeeding kits if they have 3-4.

Well, actually, as of an hour ago, there is a sale pending on him. I turned a good 30 people down because they were just being idiots looking for a good deal, who said they were "willing to take him off my hands at a discount price". I hate people like that. I e-mailed them back, explained that he is not a rescue case, but is indeed a fully pedigreed chinchilla from good lines, and that the price I am asking is already cut below most other breeders by $25-75, so there is no room for bargaining.
I usually give a deal to people I have dealt with before, but not a person who I have never dealt with, that treats my animals like rescue cases :?
