The Chinchillas

This is Leia. She is a daughter of Marie. She recently had to have a bladder stone removed as she was in a lot of pain. She seems okay now, but she will be retired from showing, which is a great shame, as she has done so well for me. She is happily living with Tango.

Here is a picture of Luke. He is a silver chinchilla boar and is son of Donny and Jemima (fox sow). He produced some lovely babies with Mandy (see pictures of Milly and Lola), and also is dad of Glitter. I have taken him to the local shows and he has done well. I shall be using him again in my chinchilla breeding.
