The two females have been living in the same cage with the male but only the one who was an accidental breedback had babies before so that is why I put them together in the same cage, I guess it was "luck"that they had their babies only days apart. I do appreciate all the replies and am very...

Thank you so much for the reply!! Since I separated them from the dad he just wants to bite them so I can't put some of them in with him to rotate the babies. But to my surprise I just saw that my other female had 1 baby as well so,I put the two females together with all the babies and they are...

So my female gave birth to 4 kits (accidental breedback). They weigh 49g, 48g, 47g and the runt is 44g. They are very aggressive toward each other and I know that is normal for them but they seem a but more aggressive than usual. Because it was a breedback(I know that shouldn't happen really...

Yes the two moms are together and shared the feeding duties the entire time from birth, any kit could drink at any mom without a problem but she was attacking grown babies as well. The babies seem to do good in the separate cage so far only one seems to be trying to get out but the cage is baby...

Thanx for the reply!! I'm glad it's a normal thing!! They have chew toys that they play on and chew on when Tinker is not trying to chew through the bars. I wil look for a wheel for them to as my other chinchilla loves his wheel more than anything else in his cage. Wheels for them are just...

Hi, some of you might have read my other post about my two new girls. The one is very shy (thinking I should name her Shyla) but the other one is very curious and not to afraid (my stephdaughter and decided on Tinker). Now Tinker has been chewing on the cage almost non stop and tries to sqeez...

Thank for all the replies. With keeping them apart untill the females are old enough, can i still give them supervised playtime to start them getting used to each other untill I can put them together? Thanks again to every one!!

Thanx for the quick reply. I read on other posts now about the quarantine as well so I wil sort that out first and if all is well after the 30 days I wil put them closer again. Thanx for the tips, I really appreciate it.:thumbsup:
