Haruki is Egan and Caley's son. He is an afro violet, but his coat is in poor condition. I have some pics of him I took abt 2 weeks ago, I think. When he twisted his foot and is miserable. You can now see how skinny he is. I'm still trying to fatten him up. Hope to do so gradually.

Haruki was adopted by me yes. He's the son of the other 2 I adopted. These 3 chins weren't rescued by petchin, they were taken by another guy, who rehomes chinchillas. That guy is a friend of mine, I bought Hanako from him long time ago. So he called me, cos he knew what kind of life my chins lead. It's much better than the guy who didn't feed them regularly. So I took them in. I think it'll take quite a while for them to get back to normal size. Egan is really the 1 who is recovering super fast. Caley and Haruki may take a year or more. It's actually impossible to pump them up too quickly, in my opinion. I don't feed these 3 treats at all, only staples, so that they'll alwiz finish those. Poor ghost is confused, I lay it out for you here, okie? Slappy - standard grey girl (mother of Spider) Spider - silver white male (son of Slappy) Pinky - hetero beige girl (bought and kept alone cos she is frail and has some illness. I don't breed her, cos she has 'wolf teeth', possibly hereditary.) Snowball - silver white male (Hanako's husband, father of Spunky) Hanako - black velvet girl (Snowball's wife, mother of Spunky) Spunky - black velvet/dark standard grey girl (daughter of Snowball and Hanako. A very active chin full of life and attitude, hence the name. I haven't confirmed her colour yet.) Egan - afro violet male (Caley's husband, father of Haruki) Caley - afro violet girl (Egan's wife, mother of Haruki) Haruki - afro violet boy (son of the above pair)

An update on Haruki, also a good 600 grams now. His fur has almost totally recovered. His coat is gaining a nice sheen. What's even better, is he is getting real friendly. Alwiz pokes his nose out at me when I bring dinner. And if he's not hungry, he's rather jump out than hide in the cage. A real change in attitude. ;D

Thanks to you three for the encouragement and concern. ;D I'm happy for him as well. Hopefully he'll continue to put on weight. He is quite a happy fella these days, active and hopping around excitedly. Ya ghost, you can come visit once my exams are over. I'll be free after mid May. I hope to attend the gathering, if I haven't found a job. ;D

ghost> Ya, am actually quite busy now. But no choice, they need my time. Actually, I think it's better than being too 'free', nothing to do right? Yes, his appearance has changed dramatically. I hope he continues to improve in future.
leoric> Ya, I got quite a few chins. But am actually cutting down slightly, cos I'm worried about the ones that need more care. These days, I spend less time with the healthy ones, cos they are healthy. All my attention wld be focused on the thinner ones, or if any of them are ill.
I actually just sold Spunky to 1 very nice lady. At first, I was a little reluctant, but it turns out that this lady is highly recommended in the chin community, and Spunky and her had very good chemistry when they met. So I let her go to this lady. Since then, I've had many updates from her, and it's only been slightly more than 1 week! Spunky has since been renamed Beetle, and she lives in a large luxurious cage by herself (too young to be paired with a male yet), with all the hay she can eat.
I'll also be giving up my Pinky to another lady, who is adopting her to care for her sick condition. This one really took persuading, as in, other pple persuading me. I didn't want to give up Pinky at all, but some of my chin frens insisted that I shld, cos they are worried that I can't handle all of them, if another one of my chins falls ill or something bad happens. I spoke to 4 pple on the mailing list, who all knew the lady one way or another, and they did say she is fantastic with chinchillas. So after days of agonising over the decision, I decided to give her up to that lady. But I still want updates of her of course. It's a real hard decision to make, cos Pinky really deserves alot of care. I admit that my decision to work during the hols, is one reason why I don't have even more time for her when I have a school break.
I have to say, that it's truly heart-rending when you have to say good bye to a pet, regardless of the species. Especially when you have spent time with the pet, and have become attached to it. I sometimes can't believe that 2 of them are leaving me. Walking into the pets room, I definitely have so many memories of them, and only the needs of the other pets, distract me from reminiscing.
Lucky for me, the 2 pp who got them, are willing to let me visit them at their homes. ;D Beetle's owner especially, has asked me over already. She wants to reassure me that Beetle is getting the 'bestest care' of all.
