Maia won a first place ribbon!

I'm not officially back yet, and my mind is more cluttered than ever, but I have some exciting news to share...

Maia won a first place ribbon! Yesterday I went to a chinchilla show and took Maia along. She was one of the last classes of the day and won a first because she had great fur density, strength, clarity, and color, she was just lacking on size (Which I was aware of). She's the first chin I've ever bred and I'm so excited for my girl, she has a lovely personality and is the sweetest girl I could ask for.

Me and my baby:

Her in her show cage, she is number 74:

AND...You didn't think I went and come home empty handed did you??? No official name yet, but I'm thinking Oscar. My dad recommended it from a TV show that I'm too young to remember, I just think it suits him! He's very grumpy

If you have any other suggestions, I'm open. I'm very indecisive

I still probably won't post in the next week or so, but I'm very very excited for my girl and had to share.

Thanks! I might be a bit biased, but I think she's gorgeous

She definitely is, no doubt about it. I love the name Oscar too, he does look very grumpy in that first pic XD

awww, thankies. His name is officially Oscar, it suits him perfectly.

Thats amazing, such an achievement!!! You should be very proud!

Little question..why are they allowed on mesh, thought it was well known to be bad for chinnies like rats? x

What cuties and well done, first place is so amazing!

Many congratulations, Mikayla, you are justly proud of your beautiful baby. And I hope this won't be the last time we see Oscar's adorably grumpy little face x

Well done to you both and what a great picture. Hope it's the first of many 1st places.
