This all started this morning at 6:15 went to check on my girls as usual and notice Pebbles in labor. So I forgot about my coffee and grabbed my light and camera and by the time I got back Z22 was born, a ebony male weighing at 42 grams! The baby that Pebbles gives birth to is a tan white male weighing 49 grams.

WOW!!! Great video!!! My boys' ears pricked up when they heard the little squeaks and kit noises -- it must have brought back memories for them.
 
Love the white ebony females markings! Congrats to Miss Pebbles on these cute bebbies
 
Oh. My. Chinchilla God.
Those 3 ebony kits are possibly the most beautiful triplets I've ever seen on this forum.
-steals them all-
 
How cute! Congrats!
The birthing video is very interesting as I've never seen a chinchilla give birth before. I got scared every time I see the mom almost stepping on the ebony kit. How long does a birthing normally last for?

I must ask, what camera do you have?

Births can last anywhere from 2-6 hours it all depends on the mama and how quick the babies want to come out. I have a sony megmovie vx camera, cyber-shot. It takes great photos and video, but the zoom stinks.
 
what terrific video. Not being a breeder myself, I found it very fascinating to watch. thank you so much for posting! And congrats on all the babies!
