I have a unique situation with my chinnies. Right now I have a mommy chinchilla (about a year and a half old) with her baby kit (about 4 months old). I didn't intentionally breed them, as when I got the mommy and daddy chinchillas, I was informed that they were both female. So I rushed to buy a new cage to separate mommy and baby from daddy.
Now, some time has passed and the baby has gotten a little older. Of course, it would work to great disadvantage that this baby chilla is a male. I have tried countless techniques and am still working on trying to get daddy and baby chilla in one cage and just have mommy in the other. The thing is, daddy and baby chilla fight like crazy and I just don't want anyone getting hurt.
I am SO scared that mommy chilla is going to get pregnant from her son! Things that are not an option for me are:
-getting a 3rd cage
-giving up any of my chillas.
I have no idea what to do. I recently saw baby chilla feeding off of mommy chilla, which worries me. I haven't seen him do that in a long time and don't know why all of a sudden he's doing it again.
How do I make my chilla family a happy home?! Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, I tried to make it as short as possible!
