Q & A / Re: HELP,, Chinchilla advise needed please

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:40:09 AM »

Thank you so much you have been such great help, i have decided to keep him seperate in another cage next to them, i had another look at the baby today and she is deffinately a girl so that helps a lot,, i feel bad that Pepsi will be on his own but i guess he will adapt to it and least he will still see them both,,, i will make sure the cages are apart enough so they can't reach each other,,

Thank you iv just done that and i think it looks more like a girl, as it looks more joined and slit in each side, i will check again in a week or so to see if its become more clearer but its certainly looking like a girl,,,
As for the male, no i didnt want to have any more babies, sad i cant keep them all together but if its safer to not get him fixed then i would rather keep him how he is, how ever do i still keep the cages together or do i move them away from one another??  Re homing is not a option cause i just love them both it would break my heart to see either one of them go..

Yes its a lucky kit considering i had no idea at all that mum was a she not a he and was pregnant,
Will my male be ok on his own in another cage?, im worried he will get depressed as at moment hes not himself at all, hes normally the friendly one out of the two but now he wont even come to my hand, normally i open the door he jumps on my arm, now he runs from me i even offered him a raisen he took it but spat it at me, hes NEVER done this...
As for my female ohh my goodness i hope shes not pregnant again, surely this wouldnt be good for her,, gosh what a worry,

thank you i was wondering if it was safe to have him neutered or not, being so small and all,,
The Kit seems really well, both eyes are open, s/he seems all complete, runs about and tries to climb the cage bars,,
Iv seen him nursing a lot, and mum seems to be happy to do it,, i also weighed it it was 39 grams
