Baby Hunt
by Ryan Pritt
Ryan's Chinchillas
For a year I have had chinchillas. The total rose to 5 in May. They
were all adults. I had hoped, but none of my chinchillas ever had had
babies. That changed quickly thanks to Cuddles
On Saturday, August 4th I had been gone all day. Before I went to bed I
went to give Cuddles a raisin. When she stood up I noticed she had dried
blood on her. We had a hunch but did not know she was pregnant for sure. We read numerous books, emailed Chinmail and asked them what they
thought I should do. They all said to search the house for babies. At about
2:00am we picked up a hat and a baby fell out! We immediately put Cuddles
and her baby in their own cage. The next morning we heard a noise in my
parents' room. We searched everywhere. Then inside their TV stand we saw
another one! We had found both of Cuddles babies! They escaped because the
wire in their cage was 1" by 2". Since we had never had babies before we were
not aware that they could escape. It was a long and exhausting search but
luckily we found both babies safe and sound. They are now older and much
more daring. The smaller one that we found in the hat is a boy, while the
other is a girl. They are all doing well and are very friendly.
