Chinchilla Help!?

Question

Please Help me out here!

I have had my male chinchilla (mickey) and my female chin (glinda) in the same cage for quite some time now and she hasn't had any kits. I got her from a breeder and him from PetCo. Mickey is older than glinda who is over a year old. They both get along great and are very cute together <3! I am just wondering why they haven't had any kits yet. I'm starting to worry if there is something wrong.

- i'm positive that they're a female, male couple =)

Answer 1

firstly go to a vet and get them sexed professionally then you will know.

are they related? if they are you should not use them for breeding

Answer 2

Once you&#039;ve fallen in love with your chinchilla it&#039;s not going to be long before you decide that you might want to try to breed chinchillas. When you answer this question, be honest and unselfish- remember that both the parents and babies are living breathing animals that need a certain level of care and attention. Will you be able to find homes for the babies? Do you have the money for a visit to the vet for a $600 (sometimes more) procedure required to save the life of your chinchilla and its babies?
