Everything About Chinchillas
"The Chinchilla Handbook" makes a great companion book to Dr. Vanderlip's standard, "The Guinea Pig Handbook," by the same publisher. Profusely illustrated by Michele Earle-Bridges to enhance the well-organized, straightforward text, this book covers everything the novice (and veterinarian) should know about chinchilla history, suitability as pets, anatomy, housing, feeding, behavior, health care and reproduction. This comprehensive book concludes with information about color inheritance and the fascinating world of showing chinchillas competitively. A helpful list of chinchilla affinity groups and recommended publications precede the detailed book index.Among the many user-friendly features of the book are the well-organized tables and summary boxes which condense the essential facts about these charming little creatures into easy-to-find bites. The health management aspects of the book point the reader to the most common problems likely to be encountered with...

This book tells you EVERYTHING you need to know!
This book tells you EVERYTHING you need to know!I read this book cover to cover and found it was FULL of interesting facts and information about Chinchillas.I recently took in two chinchillas that the owner could no longer care for. Before I bought this book, I knew nothing. Once I read the last page, I have since been able to teach others about proper Chinchilla care.I HIGHLY recommend this book for every beginner!

Best Chinchilla Book Ever
I have owned chinchillas for many years now and this is the best book that I have found. This author has put together a lot of helpful information with a little whimsy. From providing us basic knowledge of the chinchilla, to the need for exercise and proper feeding. A chinchilla is not like any pet that you will ever own and this book gets it right. It also provides a smile when you see all the great photographs that go along with the information. I love the one that has an Ebony Chinchilla and peeking out from underneath her is a little white chinchilla kit. I have had the pleasure of spending lots of time with my chinchillas and even traveling with them. I have a few chinchilla babies each year and I recommend this book to all my clients. It is well researched and a valuable resource.

A unique look at the chinchilla
This book is a very personal look at the chinchilla. The pictures, beginning from the one on the front cover, are amazing. Anyone who owns a chinchilla knows how hard it is to get a photo of anything but a furry behind streaking by. The photographer Ellen Bellini managed to capture chinchillas doing all sorts of chichilla things: playing with toys, taking a dust bath, learning tricks, and interacting with each other and with their people. The author's love of chinchillas as sensitive, intelligent, one of a kind companion animals comes through on every page. There are chapters on all kinds of topics I haven't seen in any other book out there (and I own several): transitioning a chinchilla from ranch life to home life, a chart illustrating the chinchilla coat colors, going to a chinchilla show, determining gender, safe and dangerous food and housing, and even a dictionary of chinchilla sounds and body language. I have had my pair of chinchillas since 2005 (and with any luck will have...

Pleasantly surprised
After this publication hit shelves, it was brought to my attention that one of my sites, The CHINformation Organization Forum (http://www.chinformation.org/forum), had been listed as a web resource. I was honored, but a bit apprehensive, knowing that most books contain incorrect and even dangerous information regarding chinchillas. Promotions of the site are great, but I did not want to be associated with a publication that had the potential of doing more harm than good. I purchased the book and read it cover to cover and was very pleasantly surprised! It could stand to have better pictures of chinchillas, since most of the chins pictured are less than ideal, and it states that introducing adult females is easier than introducing adult males, which I tend to disagree with, but it's over-all pretty well written. I would recommend this book in addition to lots and lots of online research to prospective chinchilla owners.

One word: Delightful!
Judith Freeman's "The Chinchilla Farm" is a wonderful first novel and a delightful story. Like William Least Heat-Moon's "Blue Highways", which also focused on new beginnings, she has a strong storyteller's voice. ("Blue Highways" was his first novel too.) I consider both these books as "must read" and have given them as gifts to many people.

"[A] touching picaresque journey through the deserts of the west and the landscape of memory."—Washington Post Book World

Verna Flake is fleeing Utah, a failed marriage (her husband has left her for a former beauty queen named Pinky), and the constricted yet reliable Mormon way of life. Seemingly naive but also gifted with an almost second sight for the emotional heart of things, Verna relates her adventures on the road, in Los Angeles, and eventually in Mexico, as she confronts her future and muses over her past. Reading group guide included. Top to learn more

Lovely Clean Prose
The Chinchilla Farm is one of my favorite books and I'm sorry to see that it's out of print. It is the story of a Mormon woman who, when her marriage to a fellow Mormon fails, travels to California to seek a new life. It's a realistic novel that has shades of the autobiographical about it, (the author is herself a Mormon who lives in California.) The strongest point of the book is its beautiful, clear unsentimental prose and its unflinching portrayal of life in a hard and uncaring city. Ms. Freeman is particularly sympathetic to people living at the fringes of society; the homeless, mentally ill, alcoholics and immigrants. In her compassionate yet unsparing representation of these characters she is almost Dickensian. The novel also provides a fascinating insight into growing up in Salt Lake City as a Mormon. Although the novel is sometimes bleak in its realism its final message is one of redemption and I found the book to be overall uplifting. Structurally my only criticism is...

Nobody here but us Chinchillas
Reading this book is like taking a long drive down a lonely road with the main character, Verna at the wheel. On the way, you meet interesting and quirky characters as well as live her memories of the past. As the road stretches out ahead of you, sometimes the rear view mirror image blends in with the present.I was intrigued by an insider's view of Mormons and their customs, as Verna physically and spiritually distances herself from her roots.I'm glad to know this one is going back into print. It's a winner.

Back home, Post editor Spencer Murphy was raising chinchillas, whose coats were being sold for lots of money. Hurley decided to buy two chinchillas from Murphy for his $1500 and also paid the editor $60 a month for food and boarding the animals.
