Hi all, im new to all this so please be patient with me.I bought 2 chins at the end of December.I was told that they were both female,so i named them millie and mollie.I soon noticed that millie was making movements whilst on top of mollie.Have i now got a male & female,not a millie & molly.LOL.

Welcome to the forum, you've come to the right place! Have you actually checked the genitals to see if they are male and female? You may have seen dominance humping, but you wont know until you check. If you do a search you'll find several threads on chinchilla anatomy.

where did you buy your chins? If from a petstore, they could totally be wrong about the sexes of the chins. A breeder should accurately know the sex of each chin. But definitely check to be sure.
