Thank you Erin - btw. that pic was taken with the cheapo 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the Canon, really nothing special. But I was very close so it worked even though the widest aperture at the tele end is only f/5.6. Look at the EXIF on flickr - it was shot at f/5.6. The kit lens actually has quite a good (=short) min. distance. IMHO that cheap lens is much better than most reviews will have you believe - they all make it sound like a totally horrible useless lens - so not true.
Blimey! You wouldnt expect to get that quality from an f/5.6 I was expecting at least f/2.0 if not wider! Im going to have to follow your photos on Flickr, they are all so great!

Satin dwarfs pop up in pet stores periodically. I've seen a couple at Petco over time. They just looked very greasy in store conditions, so perhaps they are not very popular to sell.

Well yes, they would look very greasy unless they had a sand bath with good chinchilla sand available 24/7. Also, if a satin does not come from a line with very good, thick fur he'll always look a bit strange - because of the way the fur "clumps" you'll always have some spots like on the shoulders or behind the ears where the fur will look sparse.
