First time kit owner questions!

GrayRodent:
I'm very glad you're having success. Obviously you're taking excellent care of them. I recommend you stay guarded. What you are seeing is still abnormal with that one kit.
You should be able to dust them now. Just not for more than 5 minutes at time, about two times per week. Kits can overheat very easily and exertion can be dangerous for them so make sure do that only when it's cool and keep a close eye on them. Chinchillas don't always know when to stop.

You need to get ready for weaning at 6 weeks 8 weeks absolute maximum, and the small one may need that. Be sure of their genders and do not combine genders or they can impregnate each other, including the mom.
