Lil help please (adopted chins)

[spike87]

Hi,

Looking for a little bit of advice please... Recently adopted two gorgeous ToV Chins (both supposed to be male...you know whats coming :banghead

They wouldn't have anyone near them without getting very aggressive when we got them so I had to trust what I had been told, now it seems like we have one male & one female...

I also have two male chins that we've had for 1.5 years in the same room.

I know spaying isn't too common with chins, but if we had her fixed, would all the chins ( 3x male 1x female) all be ok living in the same room (2 separate cages)

Any help greatly appreciated.

it would be better to fix the male than spay the female as it is very major surgery to spay. They should be fine in the same room I keep all my chinchillas in the same room even my cages of males only.

Thank you

Do you not have any bickering between the boys in the cages together when your girls are on heat then?

Really don't want the brothers squabbling

It honestly depends on the chins. I have a couple male pairs in the same room as females and they are fine. It's more when a female is house with a male pair that there are problems when she goes into heat.

My boys go nuts when Spice goes into heat, all of them.

I haven't had a problem here with 100 chinchillas and 60 or more of those being female someone is always in heat I am sure
