How can I induce my chinchillas to breed?
I have 1 male and 2 females. When I first got all of them I had one male and three females and on of the females gave birth to two kits. It’s been a while (and sadly the female chinchilla passed away) and my chinchillas have not seemed to mate or show any signs of prgnancey. I really want to have some more babies, but I really don’t know what conditons they will breed under. If you can please tell me the condidtions that they do and vitamins i can give them, ect…
From what you have said, I can assume that the females that you currently have are the daughters of the male cat you still have is that right? If so, I would not be breeding them back with their father as that is inbreeding, in saying that if you are a breeder then you would know about line breeding and would know when it ok to put a parent cat back with its offspring. Most times I would say, Don’t do it. there can be to many complications. Also how old are your females now? and is there a reason you are wanting more babies? They have to come In season for them to be interested and there is nothing you can do to make them come in season. I can give you more information if you wish to add me to yahoo or email me.

your chinchillas should want to breed on their own. BUT, i would say please don’t breed your chinchilla, there are many many chinchillas without homes. also, you should never breed them without knowing their history of any sicknesses. some chinchillas if bred together also have the lethal factor which could result in death of the babies. please make sure you are aware of all of this before you breed again.
