On Feb 25 my chinchilla gave birth to triplets.
Weights at birth were
Tan female-44.5g
Pink White male-53.5g
Ebony female-49g

They have all been steadily gaining weight each day (besides the first day where each lost about 2-4g)

Now the weights are
Tan- 87.5g
Pink White- 91.5g
Ebony- 75g

I am concerned about the ebony female. She has continued to gain weight each day but it seems the other 2 have had a major weight gain and she has just continued at 2-3 gs a day.
Do I need to start supplimenting her or is she ok since she is still gaining. I try to give her alone time with mom, but mom sees me take the others out and takes that as her break time and stays to herself.
 
She climbs onto of the food container. That is the only place the babies cant get to. there is a igloo in the cage but the kits climb on top of it as well. I will take out the igloo and maybe put the food in a bowl instead and continue giving that one alone time.
