HI all

HI there everyone

I joined here a while ago but i have been really busy with setting up my chinchilla unit. I have them all in the house right now and hopefully in the next 4 weeks my shed will be built and i can start insulating etc, good ole british weather will have me working on the shed for a while before i can say its ready for the chinchillas, I have bought an Air con unit to go into too so fingers crossed i get it done before winter sets in here.

I also have a site called Granite City Chinchillas based in the UK, my home town is Aberdeen Scotland which is also known as the granite City because of a huge Granite Quarry we have - hence the name lol.

I did post a while back about my chin having a strange lump - which i am glad to say as dissapeared after antibiotic treatment p so just saying hi again and introducing myself again lol

Kind regards

Wenda

Welcome to chins-n-quills!

Well the chinchilla shed is mostly how the UK breeders keep their chinchillas, i will only have a small number going into mine - around 20 at the moment with them mostly being in pairs in large cages rather than having them in the polyagomous system. I will be getting a row on poly cages but these will be specially made by a breeder friend and will be about twice the size of the normal ones over here in the UK.

The Its now three weeks away until the shed is built and i cant wait to get started, we are using a baby monitor with a temperature reading after a friend of mine suggested thats what i could use to monitor whats going on out here when i am indoors, eventually i want cctv in the chin shed as i think it would be rather fun watching what they get up to when no ones around .

I will post pics once its up and running and let you all see it

Kind regards

Wenda

That sounds very interesting indeed. I don't think I'd like to go out in the cold though to get to my chins halfway across the yard. :winkgrin: But that's my low tolerance for the old. Can't wait to see pics, it sounds very high-tech with cameras and everything eventually. Post pics of your babies too. :)

Welcome. My parents used to live outside of Aberdeen. Went to spend a couple of months there waiting on my divorce. Absolutely loved it. I believe they were in Drumligair (sp). Can't remember the rest of it and I know there was more.

I'm with you Tails. I just can't take the cold. When it gets into the 50's I start to freeze. I call it butt shakin cold. Cause the ole butt cheels start to shake. :rofl: Now if I could control it and do it at will I might have another career option... :O
