Needing a bit of help!

[Echo86]

Hey Everyone.

Well I was woken up last night with my Chinchillas making some odd noises and darting around the cage like well hyper little fluff balls.
Thought they was just playing and they both seem'd find so off back to sleep I went.....

This morning around 5-6am it happened again!
So I decided to search a bit about it and found out they were Mating!!!!
Now I wasn't too worried because when I got the chinchillas I was told the male had been "Snipped" so he couldn't have babies.

They went at it again around 10am so I phoned the person I got them from(Had them around a year now was rather shocked he remembered me, BUT! this isn't where the good news is...... He told he that the male hadn't been done and was able to have babies, but he had shown no interest before and thought it would never happen......

So now I might have a pregnant Chinchilla!
What do I need to do now?
I wanna be fully prepared for whats going to happen and want to know everything I am going to need!

Please can someone help me out!

First, seperate them into separate cages. You have plenty of time to research and prepare. But mark the calendar for 111 days, as that's the appoximate gestation period.

You will need a 2nd cage and seporate them. Make sure its baby proof and mark 111 days from when you seporate them as her last possible due date. Look under breeding and kits. The FAQ has a lot of information that you are looking for.
