My chinchilla had kits in June, i currently have the two boy kits together in the same cage and the girl in another, however they all run around together. When i was putting the chinchillas away today i noticed one of the boys trying to mate with another boy, he appeared to have sperm right under his tail and he wasnt trying to get away or anything. Im almost positive he didnt try to mate with the female so the few questions i have are
-How young can a chinchilla get pregnant? ( the girl is pretty small so im not even sure if its possible)
-Why wasnt the other male trying to get away and can this be harmful?
I would separate them if possible but i only have 3 cages.. if anyone can recommend a way to split them up with 3 cages it would be very much appreciated. I have 3 kits as i said before, the two males are together in one cage, the female has her own cage and the parents are together in their own cage. Thanks
