I have a 5 1/2 female chinchilla.
She is kinda old to start breeding. She may have kits but may not. Most breeders start them at 1 year. And do you know anything about her background? is she breeding quality? What would you look for in a male to help improve the quality of the kits?
I was wondering can i just get male to see if they get along then let them mate?
I am not trying to discourage you but if you are going to breed it is a lot more than throwing two animals together. You need to look at why you are breeding and what you want to achieve. You need to put two animals together that complement each other and compensate for their flaws. A simple example is I have a female who was judged at a show as 1st place but her fur is a little to long. so I put her with a male who has fur that was judge a little to short. This is overly simplified a lot more thought went into the pairing than that. But it isn't hey you have male parts and you have female parts lets make cute fuzzballs.
Again depends on the quality of the female. It is best to breed to improve not just to breed. If you think she is lonley you could get a second female for company. And they again may not mate she is a bit old to start breeding her. Females can breed past that age but it is usually better to start them younger.
Does male and female stay in same cage for rest of the pregnant life of the mother chinchilla?
When a female is almost ready to give birth he needs to be pulled out especially if you think she may breed back. Many males make great dads but many females and males will fight badly and can kill one another.
I read stories that I should be ready for anything.
You need to be ready for anything but stories do not prepare you. There is a lot that can go wrong. I have come home to a female that tore a male apart, not even because she was pregnant she just tore her cage mate to peices. had been with him for several years, had had his kits with no problem. I had a very pregnant female get beat up and killed we got the kits out before she passed and I hand fed them but all died one at a time after a week of feeding every 2 hours. I have lost kits, I have lost moms. I have pulled dead decaying kits from a mom pushing to expell the babies. Their is no way to describe that smell.
I have held my favorite female in my arms on the way to the vet as she is dying. stories cannot prepare you for the pain. Mostly everything goes well but when it doesn't it can cost thousands of dollars at the vet and even then often they don't make it.
I need know step by step what should I do about getting my chinchilla Pregnant.
When mother chinchilla give birth do i just let her give it? and keep my eye on baby and mother for weeks?
You watch and make sure the baby is gaining otherwise nature takes over and Momma raises her baby
Get the best quality male you can get your hands on from a good breeder
