Camera Critters #2


This is the third 'issue' of Camera Critters, a new meme/challenge on the blog, and it's all about photos of animals/critters.. Unfortunately, I missed the first week, so today is my second post. This is a Sunday post each week, and for more information, or to play along, you can check it out by clicking on the banner above.


This week I've decided to show my chinchillas. These are not the most recent photos of them, but will have to do for this week.... it's been one of those kind of weeks, lol.

This is Smudge. He apparently is father to Charlie and Cherry (twins). I was given these chins about a year ago. Smudge is a Mosaic White, and in this photo is in his jar. He bathes in this jar (special bath dust) and sleeps in it too.

This is Critter Corner in my living room. That box of 'stuff' is gone now, and a bird cage is there with Taz, the cockatiel. Sheri is a Beige, Daisy, Charlie and Cherry are all Standard Gray. Daisy, Sheri and Cherry all have gallon glass jars for bathing is like Smudge's and sometimes sleep in them. Charlie has a bread pan for bathing and sleeps in a PVC pipe that you can barely see here. It now hangs on the side of his cage and he is in a different cage now.

My rabbit, Grace Hawk, is in her nest box here, so you can't see her. She is a Netherland Dwarf, of the Agouti or Chestnut coloring.

This is a 'baby picture' of Charlie... or is it Cherry. Darn. They look so much alike.

Here Smudge is playing on top of Daisy & Sheri's cage. In this photo, if you look closely, you can see why I chose to name him Smudge.

These are really wonderful little animals and I love them dearly. They have such great personalities animalalities.

Happy Sunday!!!

I love the little Charly the "apparently" father, lol ! I didn't realize that Chinchillas are so cute, when I imagine that some "women" are wearing their fur as coats ! Rather naked than fur !!

When I was in Kindergarten, a kid brought in a Chin for Show N Tell. Ever since then, I've wanted one! So, for over 25 years, I've wanted a chin hehehe They are SO cute.

They are cute. I guess that goes with the owner. Just read about your boarder with the camper and feces. What a butt. You deserve better than that.

I love him in his jar!!

Isn't it funny how animals will do things that just don't look comfy but they're loving it.

My Siren sits like he's about to have a seizure but I know it's actually his happy pose.
