Trouble flowed in two hour intervals because right before we
stopped for gas in Lake Havasu City, the driver’s side vent of our Chev 2500
Silverado’s air conditioning decided to blow hot air, forcing the passenger
side vent to work double duty to keep our chinchilla’s cool—in case you aren't
aware, chinchillas can die in temperatures above 80 degrees.
We thought that maybe we could have the chinchilla’s ride in
the trailer with the a/c cranked up, but discovered the trailer batteries were not strong
enough to run the a/c without a generator or electrical source.
My husband made
a deal with our little rodents. If they’d stay alive, he’d give them lots of treats when we reached
Flagstaff.
SPOILER ALLERT: Not only did they kept their end of the bargain, they increased their number by one the next morning.
Baby and Mama Chins are born with eyes open, all their fur and the ability to hop around. This photo is was taken the day after he was born. We named him Flagstaff. Can you guess why?

Because we handle the babies shortly after birth, they are used to people and being held.
