starting off with an ugly photo of pip.. all wet and skinny.. only less than an hour old..

pebble drying the baby..

below are random photos of pip.. i shall let the photos speak for itself..

how cute this little chinchilla is.. =)

this is the mother, pebble

feeding time again..

these are my favourite photos of pebble and pip... =)

pip can now jump!

actually i think pip jumped long time ago but i only got the photo and news that pip could jump to the wooden shelf.. so i am really excited to see pip when i get back...

but i am more eager to see a friend when i get back.. hopefully everything will go well..

something I've learnt today...

next time when you know a guy.. or a boyfriend.. who puts you first before everything.. whose life revolves around you... who seemed to have 'no life' beside spending every minute with you.. and you thought that wasn't healthy and it meant an imminent break up.. think again..

he loves you.. he loves you to bits.. and the reason why he would agree to your decision is only cos he wanted you to be happy.. and he thought you would be happy without this relationship...

so he would agree.. and assures you that he will try again when he is ready and if you are still willing to take him back..

pebble delivered a cute little baby yesterday!!

she was supposed to deliver one or two days ago but she was late... and when i went to school for a meeting without my phone.. i knew smth must be wrong (or right! haha).. so when i came home.. i asked kah ying whether anything happened.. but nope.. she said nothing.. pebble is still not delivering... so i thought i was wrong...

so when i approached her cage i saw this wet and skinny little fella in the tree trunk!!!! and pebble was all wet in the face! omg she gave birth without kah ying knowing at all.. so felt her abdominal area.. jellyish.. good! that means only one baby! yay!

both of them are okay! and initially pebble wasnt drying the baby or feeding it so i helped a bit.. and in the end she got the hang of it... didnt get to see them for long cos i had a bus to catch.. only got to see them for an hr and off i go..

so below are some pics gladys had kindly sent to me... =)

and the baby is so cute isnt it? so pretty!!!

alive and kicking!

after being so worried for the past few weeks (or months... -___-) over whether or not pebble is pregnant and whether or not she will have complications when giving birth.. i thought she would give birth either yesterday or today... but nope.. she is still running and jumping ard like she isnt pregnant... she even fled from her cage when i opened the cage door.. she ran so fast that i couldnt even catch her.. so i let her run ard.. didnt think chasing after her resulting in miscarriage is smth i wanted.. nope no thanks.. so she runs ard the kitchen while i swept the floor...

but anyway.. hehe this is the exciting part!!!! i was so worried after reading abt still borns or dead fetus in a chinchilla that i often put my fingers over abdomen to feel for movements.. well thats what the websites say.. the kits are supposed to move and we can feel it.. for the past few days there wasnt any movements.. except for the imaginary ones i thought i felt...

but today!!! i carried her and there was suddenly a kick! it was such a hard kick that even pebble jumped in my hands (probably shocked her.. haha).. i was excited.. so i brought her to kah ying and told her i could feel the baby kicking.. then there it was again! (ok the reason why i said 'it' was cos i am hoping it will only be one kit...max two.. nothing more) this time it was as though the baby was cycling in pebble's womb.. haha you knoe like those repetitive kicking.. and kah ying felt it too! ok that was the exciting part...

the not so exciting part is that im leaving for home tmr for more than a week.. and im relying on friends to help me care for them.. i really hope they will be ok and things go well.. otherwise.. i think i will be miserable at home...
