Shameless Plug for the Boyfriend's Creations

Now, I know some of you have caught on that I finally snagged a boyfriend.  He's cool, if you come by my place you may meet him someday...


When I first met him, he mentioned he really doesn't like critters... but that said... he now has started making squirrel / wildlife feeders, and you gotta admit, these are ADORABLE.


Feasting in the Forest

Patio Zen

Picnic in the Park


Mike (the boyfriend) has his own Etsy shop, Custom Critter Feeders, where you can purchase these and get them shipped to you, or alternatively, they can be picked up in Portage, Indiana.  They are available for $15-20 natural, or $25-30 stained / painted.  Normally, you just get the feeding station itself, no corn, and no squirrel included (sorry, I know you wanted the squirrel, heaven knows I do...)... BUT if you mention that you saw the squirrel feeders here (on this blog), we will throw in a free ear of squirrel corn for you (must mention Free Corn Through the Blog Posting).

Items Back in Stock

 So, if you've been following along, you've seen in the one recent post where I talked about making more items available again.  I may have mentioned this one part already, but our muncher's delight toy is back available, as are our fleece tubes...


...but even better since then, is that our fleece tubes are available on both Etsy and on our website.


Also now available are some fleece tube covers, as well as fleece hanging houses.  Are you excited???  Cause I'm excited!!


Fleece hanging houses --> here

Fleece tubes and fleece tube covers --> here


I also bought a hole saw kit.  In case you missed it (and you all may have, as I'm not sure whether or not I posted it), I brought my drill press back to NWI back a couple months ago.  Well, it's at the house, and I finally ordered a chuck for it, so that I can change what's attached to the drill press.  Currently attached is the 4.25" hole saw, which cuts the large holes for the houses as well as the holes in the hammock shelves and whatnot.  But the NEW news, is that I bought a hole saw kit, with multiple sizes in it, so I can again begin to cut the houses, tunnels, and more fun stuff like that.  I haven't done anything with it yet, haven't yet opened it even, but I have it, so one of these days.


Also hopefully soon coming back are... goodie bags!


One thing that will take a bit longer is chinchilla dust.  You see, the only place I can obtain that is from in Ohio, and until I take a trip there, it's not worth it for me to just go and get dust.  Sorry... but really not sorry.  It just is what is is right now.

Guinea Pig Update!

 So, let's talk guinea pigs.


The one female guinea pig that we had available -- Valerie -- was adopted on Friday.  She went to a great home where she lives in the little boy's room (well, he's not so little) with three new guinea pig sisters.  


Here is Valerie:


And here she is with her new guinea pig family:






So, Valerie is happy in her new home.  However... we have other guinea pigs available!  So if you're looking, don't go too far!

We also have Rocky & Reno!  These are a father / son pair of guinea pigs.  They are American / Abyssinian / Teddy mixes and are very sweet!  Dad is about a year old, son was born June.



And we have Williard!  Williard was born 7/30 and is also looking for a new home!



If you'd like to adopt any of these cuties, go to our website, read the care packet and fill out the adoption form!  Here --> https://www.nwichinchillas.com/guinea-pig-documents
