Learn when buying a small animal from the seller the age of the chinchilla. With the same content and nutrition, the female is usually larger males. Carefully follow the behavior of chinchillas. The female is usually more active and occupies a leading position in the pair.

2

Decide if you will keep one animalor you need a pair to get the offspring. Take the animals one by one. Turn them on your back and carefully examine the external genitalia. If the animal does not have pronounced testicles (testicles), this does not mean that you have a female before you. The external genitalia in chinchillas are very similar in appearance, and sometimes even in an adult males The testicles can be hidden beneath the surface of the body.

3

Evaluate in this case, not the sex organs themselves, but how they are located. The main external difference males and the female is in the interval between the sexual - the urethra (in the female urethra, in males penis) and anus (anal opening), which is located on the side of the tail. Have males this interval is clearly pronounced and well marked(approximately 2-3 mm). The female does not have this distance. As the animal grows up, its genitalia change slightly. But all the same, in adult chinchilla sex is determined precisely by the absence (in the female) or by the presence (in males) of the pronounced distance between the sexual urethra and the anal opening.

4

Acquire a second half for your pet,but consider that the age of the female should be less. In addition, be sure to draw a so-called acquaintance between them, planting animals to each other for a while, to avoid aggression and quarrels. Do not forget that chinchillas are referred to animals that need to communicate with their brethren. If you can not buy a pair, then try to surround your pet with care and attention.

1

Determine the weight of the animal. Although the baby chinchilla eats feed from 5 days, up to 70 days old, it should also feed on mother's milk. For the full growth and development of the baby is important every week of his life with his mother. Independent chinchillas that are capable of a separate life become aged 3-4 months, at this time their weight is approximately 270-320 grams. If the weight of the animal is less, it is still too early to separate it from the mother.

2

Pay special attention to the selection of animals forbreeding. Select large, strong and active 6 -7 month old animals. At this age, the chinchilla weighs at least 400 g and has a dense hairline. Keep in mind that small chinchillas very quickly gain weight, but cease to grow after the age of 24 months, when they reach 600 grams. If the animal weighs more than a pound, and the seller assures you that he is still a cub - do not believe it!

3

Observe the behavior of chinchillas - oldanimals lose their activity, they look more lethargic and apathetic. Young, on the contrary, frolic and fun to play. Pay attention to the heel of the animal - with age, the skin on them noticeably coarsens. If you see on the heels of a callus - before you chinchillas grandmother. The eyes of old animals become dull and lose their luster. Also with age, the quality of fur changes - the fluffy fur coat thinens, its color fades and becomes lighter.

Pick up future parents. To begin with, decide which color of cubs you want to receive. At home, the main types of colors are crossed: standard, velvet, white, beige, ebony and violet. From them you can get more than 200 different color combinations. To get good offspring, select sexually mature animals with better indicators, and the male can be of any age, and the female needs only young.

2

Take a seven-month-old female for reproduction andmonth-old male - this ratio will be optimal for creating a pair. Sexual activity is most evident in January - February, although it does not stop from November to May. Determine the behavior of the animals time hunting. The female becomes restless and refuses to feed, scattering it in a cage. And the male in such periods with sniffs actively cares for her. Genital organs chinchilla change the habitual form: the female - swollen, and the male - markedly allocated penis.

3

Arrange the spare mating cage. First put a male in it, and then attach a young female to it. If she does not like the partner, she will be nervous, which is immediately noticeable. It happens that the male is irritated by the bride, and the animals are aggressively attuned to each other. Follow their behavior and immediately set off, if there is no sympathy. Try to repeat the acquaintance after a while, and if nothing changes in their relationship - select another pair for breeding.

4

Find traces of mating. If you meet a male chinchillas starts courting your girlfriend, yourthe selection turned out to be correct, and one can hope for more active relations. Mating occurs at night, so look for a waxy flagellum 2.5-3 cm long in the morning, a vaginal stopper. In addition, there will be shreds of wool and mess on the litter. Follow the behavior of animals: if they do not mate for a month, then pregnancy has come. But the most correct indicator is swelling of the nipples, rounding of the abdomen and weight gain of the female. During pregnancy (105 -115 days), feed chinchillawith a variety of high-quality feed.

There is some difficulty in distinguishingfemale chinchilla from a male. The fact is that these animals do not have any sexual differences in color. It is believed that the female chinchilla is slightly larger than the male, but this sign should not be guided, since you can easily make a mistake. The fact is that the size of a chinchilla depends not so much on sexual characteristics as on the conditions of the content and diet. Thus, same-sex individuals of the same age can vary significantly in size, living with different hosts.

2

Another common among amateursa sign of gender is considered a character. The fact is that usually females are much calmer and cleaner than males. However, this characteristic should not be guided, because in many ways the character is determined by the individual characteristics of the particular animal. There are both wild females and well-balanced males.

3

The only reliable way to distinguish a malechinchilla from the female - to examine the genitalia of the animal, but here everything is not so simple. The fact is that the reproductive external organs of a chinchilla of a boy and a girl are visually very similar, it is almost impossible to detect a clearly expressed testicle in a male. It is worthwhile to focus only on the distance between the genital organs and the anal opening of the animal. In the male chinchilla this distance is much larger than that of the female. After examining several animals, you will immediately understand what is at stake. The sex organs of the chinchilla are very tightly pressed against the anus, and this is immediately evident.

4

Sexual maturation of chinchilla reaches aboutsix months of age. If you do not determine the sex of the animals beforehand and do not plant them, you can accidentally allow an unscheduled mating. It is worth remembering that the mating between chinchillas of one litter and even just one blood line is highly undesirable, since the quality of offspring in this case is noticeably worse. If you seriously decide to start breeding chinchillas, then try to divide the boys and girls in time.
