You can learn a lot by reading some existing threads. Check out the classifieds too for stuff that members offer here to spoil your chins. Dried rosehips, goji berries, non-flavored shredded wheat (people cereal), dried rosebuds, are just a few examples of healthy treats. Grats on your new additions and welcome to the boards!

Chinchillas under the age of 6 months should not have treats unless they are wood treats. If you want to double check their sex here is as good link: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16956
Pictures are always welcome )

congrats! pictures when available! yea under 6 months are not soo good for treats. Ive actually waited until 8 months. Bam bam is only 6 months, so occassionally I will give him maybe like an oat, but majority hes getting twigs. Its pretty tempting but since I did the same to Tum Tum I feel its fair. ehheeh

Do not let them be together unless you are 100% positive they are the same sex. If one got pregnant this young there would be serious complications; it could even kill her.

Agreed your first priority right NOW is to confirm the sexes.

Please post pictures if you are unsure.
