Merlin is one of the more sociable males that arrived with the Chingus herd. Most of them will hide up in the breeding tunnels but he willingly hops down into the cages when you are there if he thinks he has a chance of a treat.
Merlin is a rather lazy chin and spends a lot of his time curled up with one or other of the females he has access to, but does have the nasty habit of throwing food out of his food bowl! And still manages to produce some very nice kits when he can get motivated
.Due to the arrival of a new US ribbon winning standard male, Rampian, and the return of Charlie, Merlin has been lent out to Jayne of Pixie Chinchillas for her to use in her breeding improvement program.
Kits to date:
Pepper (Sept 1997)
Rocky (June 2001)
Caraway (March 2004)
