This is Spider, he is Slappy's son.  But he takes after his dad totally, in colour and nature. He is not as bold as his mother.  You can see his dark yellow stain on his left flank. He is a silly and naughty boy. What he does is he pees on the ledge, then he lies on it to sleep. My goodness, he is incorrigible. I cannot remove the stain unless I wash him in water. And I won't do that unless it gets more serious cos I dun wanna scare him.  See his face? It looks scruffy to me. I also dunno why, his face is alwiz like that, even after a dustbath. Hehe. But it's okie, unique to him. Wahaha. Slappy and Spider are very tame, they have been with me for so long that I never have any problems holding them. Spider is a yr younger than Slappy, he is almost 3 yrs old. I have held him and played with him ever since he was born. |

Ghost> Of course he does not live in that habitrail cage! lolz ghost, my fellow chin lovers wld kill me if I did that to my chin. He is living in a custom made chin cage, with Slappy. Puppy> Oh yes, he is lighter than her. It's true. But I can honestly say that he eats more than her. When I feed treats, he grabs them and goes gungho over them. He swallows raisins, only chewing them twice. His mother and the rest will hold the raisin and eat slowly, but this fellow will chew the whole thing and ask for more immediately. He also tries to steal his mum's food, so I really dunno why he is not fat. But actually, in the world of chinchillas, females are generally larger than males. They are more blocky and have more mass. I've noticed this in my chins. The only male who can match Slappy in weight and size was Totoro. But he only liked smaller females, like Pinky. He didn't like Slappy. Hmm, so actually, I try and fatten Spider up also no use. Cos he already eats more than Slappy. But she is still bigger than him. |

Keke, Spider was the only kit that Slappy gave birth to. Actually, I never knew she was pregnant. She gave birth at 8am plus, when I was in school. That was in April 2000 I think. My maid called me during recess and screamed that she had given birth. I was so excited. Hehe, I rushed home to see him. He is so cute! Hehe, very tiny and active. Jumping abt on wobbly legs that time. Too bad I didn't take any pics of him when he was a baby. It's actually a relief to me that he was the only baby, cos I didn't have much experience with chins then. I only got my first pair in July 1999, for my birthday. Now, I've learned that chins that have more than 1 kit need to be monitored closely cos sometimes, the kits will fight over milk. And it's alwiz possible for the younger one to die cos the older one deprives it of milk. In fact, I know that happened recently to another chin owner. Wahaha, pinch his butt!? He sure jump high into the air with a shock one. Hehe, ya, Spider especially, likes to ride on my shoulder. I told you all, I got 1 pic where he was sitting on my shoulder, then he turned and kiss my cheek! And it so happened that my bf caught that pic! Wahahaha, so cute. We were surprised when we developed the film cos we didn't know we caught that moment. Keke... Yup, chins love to jump here and there. Just last night I was looking for Hanako, cos she ran out of her cage. I can't find here tho I searched the corners. Then I look up, she was sitting on top of my bf's black guitar! Wahaha, she's black, the guitar also black, I completely missed her! It's really so funny. They make me laugh so much. |
