Heat?
« on: March 27, 2012, 06:57:07 AM »

How do you know if your female chin is in heat? Do they bleed or is there anything that needs to be done?

With chins a trained eye will notice an enlargement of the vulva. There should be no blood. If there is bleeding you have a problem.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

GrayRodent is right, you can tell by the opening of her "privates."  Mine, when in heat, also get cranky and don't like to deal with each other.
