I currently have a Ferret Nation cage and I am using the plastic pans covered with Fleece. Although the fleece has cut down on a lot of the shaving mess, the poo is still creating a big mess as well as urine coming over the sides. I thought I saw some metal pans on this site before, but I...

Good news. My husband and daughter called me at work and said they could feel the baby kicking. He said he was sure ... so we are excited. Has any breader experienced this ... birth so far apart? I can't wait to go home and see her ... but I am thinking to let her rest and try not to touch...

I just called the vet and he confirmed there were two. I asked how far along in the process the fetus are and he said they would be due within a week. I asked how he knew and he mentioned based on the size and calcification of the bones. Intersting. The one fetus I saw only measured 2 inches...

Don't see anymore baby's or signs of labor. Dragonoid is acting great and is more friendly then ever and eating well. I am going to call the vet to have him look at the x-rays again to make sure there were 2 babies.

Thanks for all your posts. I will keep you updated of any progress. I will remove juice and hang only water in the bottle. Thanks.

The vet did an xray and said there were two kits. I do not see any Placenta or blood in the cage. All I found was the baby kit in the corner. It measured 2 inches long (not including the tail). After watching other birth pictures, this one does look premature. Doesn't look like it walked...

Still no kit #2 in site. Mom is behaving fine and eating. We went and got her better food (Oxford) as she was eating Kaytee previously. Also picked up some Alpha hay which she is gobbling up. I saw somewhere to get some cransberry juice and I mixed 1 part juice and 2 parts water in the water...

Our 6 month old Chinchilla "Dragonoid" that we rescued ended up being pregnant. She gave birth to one kit this morning (we were gone for 3 hours) and when we came back, the baby kit was in the corner ... appeared wet still and was dead. I am not sure if it was alive at birth or not. Baby...

Just came back from the vet. Initially, he thought it was constipation with a huge clump stuck in her stomach. The vet was going to put her under and perform an enema. When he put her under, he felt her again ... and then thought it didn't feel like constipation. So he did an xray or scan...

I am thinking now that it could be bloat. What should I give to her overnight. I can't take her to the vet until the morning ... and I hope I can find a vet that specializes in Chichillas. I read to give Probiotics in the drinking water Apple Cider Vinegar to stimulate appetite. I also saw...

The tempurature is 78 degrees. We have the air conditioner on. Food she is eating is Kaytee pellets and Timothy Hay. What she seems to be doing is going on her hind legs, closing her eyes, contracting her stomach ... like bringing the front paws inward. Sometimes she will also bring her...

We received a 5 month chin from a college student who's own chinchilla had given birth to a couple of babies. It was a crowded cage. We have had the 5 month Chin "Dragonoid" for 3-4 weeks now and she has been doing fine. All of a sudden, yesterday Dragonoid starting showing strange behavior...
