Hi, thanks for your help.

As far as we can tell this happened during birth, one has almost no tail at all and the other two just have nips on the ends. The kits are not fighting amongst themselves, yet.
A vet suggested that it might have been her inexperience with child birth and biting them instead of the cord.
We were just wondering if anyone else had come across this?

Hello, i wonder if anyone out there can help us?
Our chinchilla has just given birth to three babies, but all three of them seem to have varying degrees of damage to their tails. It looks like their tails have been bitten, is this a normal occurrence for first time mothers or is it something that we need to keep an eye on?

Many thanks for your help.

Nik, Shirley and Layla
