Question On My Chinchilla

[armaggedonx]

Im hoping my female chinchilla is pregnant, I have seen her lying on her side a few times when I first walk in or if im sitting minding my own business and i'll turn round to her doing it, could this be anything to do with her being pregnant? Im sure this is not sleeping lol

Cheers,
Keith

Has she been with a male recently? That'd be the first question.
Does she show weight gain would be the second question.

Yeah shes with a male, thats why I said hopefully and chinchillas gain very little weight when they're pregnant

I've had 2 pairs of chinchillas for about 5 years now. My females ALWAYS showed a chubby belly when pregnant.
The laying on the side, they do that anyway when they're being lazy, or if it's too warm. How long have they been together? Is this your first time breeding them?

mine use to do that when it was to hot in my house. do you have a stone in there for them to lay on ?
