thanks very much..i love my chinchillas a lot and i want to learn everything i can from people with experience rather then just from books.. i hope you all dont mind me asking questions. well i have been weighing the babies and that little runt that a couple days ago as at 38-40 grams is now 54 grams. she puts on a lot of weight these days. the bigger baby lost a little bit and is at 57 grams.. i think perhaps my old scale was off on her first weight after all as she was moving alot and seemed lighter then she is now. the little boy at day 2 was 45 grams at day 4 is 52 grams. mom is a great mommy and i am so very proud of her.
ok so the standard grey has a white tummy as does daddy. mommy has white belly but the 2 baby girls are different so no sure that they are beige. big female has a lighter tummy then her back color but its not white. the other baby is more of a silvery brown and the belly is for sure not white. i tried to get pics of their little bellys but no luck so far. i will try and post updated photos real soon... thanks again this place is amazing

nope as soon as i found babies mom and babies were moved so they were with him for a short time. she had them in an empty dust house so he never touched mom or him.

mommy is 13 months old.. she weighs 840 grams(after birthing). standard grey male is about 45grams(not even 48 hrs old),dark beige is about 65 grams and the little light one is about 38-40 grams. even though she is the smallest she is the most active one i cant get her to hold still to weigh her so that is the closest i can get. bellies look full when i had them out earlier i waited to weigh them before they ate again(which they are nursing now). i am going to weigh them again after a while and see how its going. i didnt realize i was to weigh them when they were born so i have nothing to compare weight to be from now on i will know better. this forum rocks thanks everybody for your help. i will keep updating pics as they grow.
