First show

So I went to my first show this weekend, arranged by DCKF - Danish Chinchilla Pet Club.

Turbo Chins Christian got 80 points and a 3. place in his group (out of 4).

Furrytails Nebri aka Mini got 83 points and an 8. place out of 9 in her group. I'm surprised she didn't get a lot lower points than the other animals there, but 4 out of the 9 animals got 83 points.

All in all there were a little over 100 animals.

It was actually quite fun, and I'm thinking about going to the next one as well.
I'm especially proud of Mini because she's out of my own animals. She didn't take the whole ordeal too good though, so I'm not sure if I can take her to other shows.
I would love to show Furrytails Madonna at some point.

Update

So Madonna turned 12 this sunday, so I put her with Mystique.
At first Madonna didn't like the new cage much. Mystique, on the other hand, was thrilled that she got a little mate again.
MiniPiv (Madonnas mom) got a bit mad the first night, and made a lot of noise.
The next night she was quiet, but Christian (Madonnas dad) started acting all crazy. He was talking a lot, and just jumping around the cage like a nut. When I went to see what was going on, I could pet him a lot more than with Madonna in the cage. It seams he's very happy about the whole situation. No little brat is trying to climb his back any more :)

So they are all happy now, and I'm going to my first chinchilla show this weekend.
I'm taking Mini and Christian with me. Not a lot of animals I know, but I have to start some where :)

And I'm still on the look for a chocolate male for Madonna, but nobody seams to be breeding much chocolate at the moment.
