I have seen that.q couple of times. Sometimes a first time mom sometimes a mom who got stressed. One of my best mommas did that when she gave birth right after we moved to the barn. I wouldn't worry unless it happens to the same mom a second time
The problem with that is what happens when Vienna and snickers don't want to be back together? And what if the kits dont sell and she has another litter. And what if one kit is a girl and one is a boy? You will need a 3rd cage.
It isn't so much training chinchillas. as much as it is training yourself to know where they pee. I don't bother it is just as easy to just clean the whole cage out. I clean twice a week. when I only had 1 or 2 I cleaned once a week
Midwest exotics is good, as is VCA noyes in Barrington, Algonquin animal clinic on 31 in crystal lake is experianced with chinchillas as well. Hilltop animal hospital in palatine is great as well
I have had people get nasty over me not being available 24/7 or call at 2 am wanting to come by, that is why I have a separate phone for the chinchillas that I ignore when it is not convinent for me
