So did they do an x ray on her? How many babies is she going to have? Just curious. If the vet saw her, they must have some insight as to how close she is to having them too?
I have raised chinchillas for sixteen years and going, never heard of a chinchilla having false labor before. I've heard of it in humans but never seen nor heard of it in chinchillas. I am glad she is okay though! To me it sounded like her contractions had stopped due to a baby being stuck in the birth canal. That is the only time I have ever seen or ever heard of contractions stopping with chinchillas... it's a scary thing to have to deal with. Good luck with her.
