You never know they still might since they are indoor Chippies they could breed abit longer.

Congratulations to you and Nutkin!!

Thanks Debbie, i love having the babies, they very quickly grow up though. I miss the very young stage from birth to 4 weeks. After that they are like mini adults and crazy      Will be nice to have some tiny Pinkies again

Here are some recent photos of the Chippie families

Nugget is finally coming out of his shell, i'm seeing lots more of him, got these pics of him with Willow and their daughters. He hides much less, is still nervous but i can tell he is more confident than he was, he has come right near me a few times when before he kept as far away as he could.

Abigail my oldest girl her bad foot seems to be improving, she is using it more when climbing and she can spread the toes out which she couldn't do before. I need to get some better photos of her.

I've got a few things for Tiny's cage which we recently got him to give him more space.

Then i've got Scabbers who recently lost part of a toe but it doesn't seem to have affected him, this guy has so much energy and is always jumping around.

And i've finally got some pictures of Mia and Dobby. Mia now is getting a lovely colouring she is very red compared to her brother. Both are lovely very friendly. Pictures of Dobby are in post two.

how many indoor chips? and how many outdoor chips?

Rest of the pics

New father Ronald-Harry. He was living with Scabbers but due to R-Harry not liking him and Scabbers being scared of him, Ronald is on his own at the moment. He is next door to Nutkin and their babies. Ronald-Harry is becoming quite friendly now, he will often jump on my shoulder when i go in and he was less confident than his sisters Blossom, Isabella and Lottie.

I think thats nearly everybody except the new babies, Hermione and Asriel are of course the parents of Lottie, Blossom, Isabella and Ronald-Harry from their first litter and Rowan from their second. Hermione is still the dominant one, she bit Asriel on the tail again the other day poor guy.

how many indoor chips? and how many outdoor chips?

Indoors i have three, Abigail, Tiny and Scabbers. Scabbers is currently in my bedroom not the best arrangement really he likes to jump around his cage early in the morning.

Outside got 18 including the four new babies

Another pic of Rowan, he is looking for a new home if anyone is interested. Now 22 weeks old.  He is great, very friendly, handsome, very naughty he likes to knock the wheel off and sometimes the rope aswell.

And then i have Nutkin and Ronald-Harry's four young babies which are one month old. Three girls and a boy.
The boy is reserved and one girl i think will be soon. I still have two girls available be ready after 6th October.

There are more photos in Nutkin's first babies Born 11th August 2011 thread in Visitors Photos   so thats all 21 Chippies 

And their aviaries were completed a few weeks ago so theres two pictures of that. I've just got them some more things to go in the aviaries as the new ones are bare at the moment so i'll add some pictures of them with their new toys soon.

My newest addition 
I've had Ariana over a week now. I wouldn't have her at all if it wasn't for Holeigh  she contacted this girl's breeder on my behalf, sent me all the photos and when i said i'd like her she reserved her then passed the breeder's details onto me and i arranged a day to collect her. Holeigh really wanted to meet her so we arranged a day Holeigh wasn't working and went up to Nottingham to collect her, long journey.

Ariana was quite nervous when i got home understandable because of the long journey, she hid quite abit at first or froze now she is slowly getting used to me i think, she's not hiding but still freezes if i get too close. I'm leaving her to settle and watch her from a distance, she is ok with me being in the same room its just if i go near the cage or open it to feed her she gets nervous. Since she is so small, only about 8 weeks old i decided i'd like her to live on her own until she is older and more bigger so she is currently next to Scabbers.

I meant to update a few weeks back but haven't got round to it. I took some pictures of the Chippies enjoying cobnuts Holeigh gave me and acorns. Since then i also have more recent photos. Dobby loves his cobnuts the first time he had them it was difficult stopping him from taking them all. They all went mad over them it was every Chip for themselves and they couldn't even wait for me to hand them out. Lottie's group are quite crazy especially when food is involved. This year the acorns have gone down well, last year the Chips i had weren't very interested. Theres alot of stashing going on now the Chips know that winter is coming.

It has been quite some time since I have updated. Here is some recent photos of some of the Chippies 

The babies born last Spring are now over 10 months old or over 6 months old for the ones born in late Summer
Scabbers is now about 12 months old.

[jennyb]

Here's a couple more. Abigail is my old girl, she is nearly 7 1/2 years old. She seems to be doing ok but her bad foot has been making things more difficult. Ariana is nearly 7 months old.
