where to buy chinchillas

Hi,

anyone know where I can buy chinchillas from, other than Qualipet in Dietlikon?

Thanks in advance....

www.chinchilla.ch?

Do you have some interesting recipes?

this is going downhill fast. I vote a move to Humour

I used to know a swiss girl called Chilla. She never did get used to us calling her Drillerchilla.

Hope my girlfirend doesn;t see this.....

I was going to say look on the ethnic food shop thread.

Tortillas? Chinchillas? Close enough...

Why not rescue a chinchilla?

This is the Swiss-wide animal re-homing database - it's usually fairly up to date.

Click on 'Heimatlose', then 'Kleinsäuger' for a list of small critters in need of a good home. You can sort the list by canton, etc. if you wish. There are some lovely chinchillas available.

What's wrong with chinchillas from Dietlikon?

There are ways to process the bits you don't eat:

before

during

after

geeeeeeee, how many of those tiny mouse-thingies for a fur coat? 50000?

S'alright. They breed like rodents. Perhaps because they are. Do you think the one in the "during" picture was beginning to suspect?

Apparenlty foreigners like myself are simply not suitable parents. I kid you not, they refused to sell me 2 x guppys for my fish tank because it's too small. The size? 70 litres. They are absolute bit**es in there. I hate them. But then, they hate me. Non german speaking people are not suitable to look after pets. Oh an another thing while I am raving.

i bougght an EXTRA cage for my tiny tiny hampster. This is an add on you understand. And they tried very hard not to sell it to me, bacuse they were worried I would store 15 rabbits in it.

B@ST@RDS.

I don't like them.

please correct that statement to

SWISS-German

everytime I waltz into a shop speaking my nicest High-German I have the feeling they reply extra fast in their huegli guegli Swiss-German and charge me twice as much as the locals...

How big were the guppies?

Your superior dancing style is obviously making them defensive and causing them to try to make themselves seem better then you by confusing you in a dialect of your own language. Tricky little buggers.

Next time, rather than waltzing, bow several times as you enter the shop and apologise for wasting their precious time. This may confuse them long enough to actually buy something, but be quick.

Consider it corrected

Well not to be rude, but guppy size Seriulsy, these are small fish. A fully grown female will only be a couple of inches at most, and thats mainly tail!

Evenualyl I did manage to get the said guppies, and have since had hundreds of babies - the fmmaily line is still going strong

ah yes, the old comment about water - fish do f--k in it. I had a tank a few years back and there would be babies all the damn time. They definitely saw more "action" than I did back then

... meaning you see a lot of action now, or you don't have fish any more ??
