Answer 1

well if u go to the vets office u can get a scanning or exray of it's stomach,or an ultrasound if its possible

.it usually costs around a few hundred  dollars or more.or u could look up gestation period for chinchillas.but the best thing to do is to wait

Answer 2

You sound like you really don't know what you're doing here and that's a dangerous, dangerous thing when it comes to breeding. You should not have left them together, now you have no idea when the due date might be.

Why are you breeding? Think about it. Breeding is not a game... it's not a matter of just putting a male and female animal together. Mess with the wrong genes and breed the wrong animals and you could end up with some very sick babies. Do you know the mom and dad's genetic/health history at least three generations back? Pet store animals should never be bred, you know nothing about their health background. It doesn't matter if they seem healthy now or the vet gave them a clean bill of health... it's what's in their genes. There are more than enough small animals in shelters and rescues without more poorly bred ones being added to the overpopulation. There's a lot more to breeding responsibly than you might think. Please read and make a responsible decision:

Ditto the above. You don't really have any business breeding. Separate them now.
