Cute Mommy behavior

[chechinchillas]

I have a black velvet chin named Bella. When she has a baby she wraps both of her arms around the baby's waist, with the babies back to her like she is hugging it from behind. Sometimes she will groom the baby while holding it like this. She is always an excellent mom and foster mom. Last night she was hugging the baby chest to chest while the baby was nursing, almost like a human does. This is the only chin I have that does this. Has anyone else seen this? I am going to try and get video of it, but when I open the cage door she stops and runs.

How cute! I would love to see that and will settle for pics through the cage bars.

Aw that sounds so cute! I haven't seen Ruby do anything like that to her kits yet. I love the kisses they give each other though!

Okay I will take it through the cage wires first and then try to get one with the door open
