Miller Chinchillas
I was recently lucky enough to get back several of my original breeding stock females from another breeder. The problem is there are 5 or 6 that are between 2-4 years old and have not yet produced. They are completely healthy as far as appearance and diet. I have tried using both GNRH (Cystorelin) and Lutalyse injections to induce ovulation and coordinate cycles. But, even that has not worked on these 5 or 6. I am working with a vet friend that has also raised chinchillas for many years like me. I was just wondering if anyone had any success with older non-proven females getting them to breed and what they've used. Peggy, Amanda, Becky I'd like to hear your input as well as anyone else who has researched or had luck in challenging cases with chinchilla reproduction.
