I separated the two boys kits from their mum on Saturday morning (10 weeks old) I weighed them both just before: 252g and 256g. I wanted to keep them with their mum longer but read alot of worrying comments about them mating with their mum and didnt want any more unexpected arrivals, also Belle (their mum) has lost a fair bit of weight since and I didnt want her to lose anymore. Just now I weighed the babies again to find they have both lost 10g since Saturday. Is this normal in the weaning process? Am I doing something wrong? Did I separate them too early? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS I am not a breeder and did not intend on having any kits, I adopted Belle from a lady who no longer wanted her, I was told she had been kept on her on, so was shocked to wake up to two kits in the cage. I have a decent amount of experience with chinchillas but not kits so I am worried perhaps I separated them too early?
Thank you for any help
