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.
