When did shipping go up… AGAIN?!!

I had my flat rate shipping boxes at $29.85… 11 pounds of food ($12.10) + $17.75 shipping (actual being $16.50… which I swear was like last week…to allow for ink, tape, paper)… now I go to print one and it’s $17.50 just for shipping! Yes that’s a discount from retail of $21, but still!

These are the adult and juvenile males from the hoarding case… they’re doing well, so we’re going to get some better pics and get them listed here hopefully shortly! They’re very sweet boys!

I love the chins that love scritches! The faces they make are just so cute!!

There’s nothing like providing the furballs an entire cage with shelves to sit on… and yet they all cram together onto the smallest shelf.

Just added this little cutie to the website!

This furball is so friendly and sweet, he’s always coming to the front of the cage to greet you! He’s easy to scoop up into your arms and does great with being handled, what else could you ask for?

Got two new furballs up on the website today! A light tan female out of our top show lines, and a retired pink white female named Mallory.

The tan is pretty calm and chill and does great with handling... Mallory on the other hand is very active and go go go and would probably love playtime... you'd never guess she's 10! She'd be great for someone who wants a fun chin for playtime but isn't ready for that 20 year commitment.

Ebony is a funky gene. Most genes that can be “carried” do not show evidence of being carried (you just have to know what the parents are, in order to know that a chin is, for example, a sapphire carrier). But ebony? Oh no, it has to be different. When a chin carries ebony, you can tell in the belly.

This guy just went home recently… but look how cute he is modeling his dark little belly ❤️

This is a violet wrap (violet + ebony)

Carly and Blair donated this huge box of fabric to the rescue! More to make hammocks and fun stuff for the chins with

We don’t advocate the use of plastic, pretty much ever. But this little stinker *grumble grumble* has found a way to upend even the heaviest of ceramic dishes and unhook even hooked in coop cups. On the daily. But he hasn’t yet figured out how to unhook *this* food bowl and dump his food for DAYS now. Mwahahahahaha.

This is Dick er- excuse me, RICK, and he is still awaiting a family to come adopt him.

This is Mr. Pretzels doing his best “bump on a log” impression. He really LOVES his log. If he’s not on top of it, he’s under it, making us play the oh-so-fun-game of “sleeping or dead?”

Little buddy, I think a chinchilla would make a nice pillow too! (a living, large-dog-sized one, just to be clear)
