The position of the administration

The optimal and safest moment to disconnect from the mother chinchilla is the age of 3 months . Young alone take nourishment , they can swim in the sand , and they know that the hand of man , as well as chinchilla mom , give warmth and will do no harm. In this age begin to brawl szkraby , snuggling purely socially , do not hide under the mother (often because they are too big :))
However, if a toddler at the age of 3 months did not reach a weight of 300 g , this is not normal, so it should not then be propagated (if as an adult does not exceed the weight of 500g , which is highly unlikely ), but also because of its small size should be with the mother until it reaches the appropriate weight . In this case, you need to observe the relationships between them , but do not hold more than over 4 months of age the young .
Why do we think that over 4 months chinchilla absolutely should be disconnected from their parents ?
In total there were several cases where the mother or sister was impregnated by an adult son / brother , and a daughter by her father. This is inbreeding , it often happens that the young become sexually mature very quickly , and therefore too long to hold the family together is dangerous.


What could be the consequences of early weaning too young from their mothers ?





If you look at the table of the development of body weight chinchillas by Bracha see clearly that the greatest increase in these animals falls to 3-4 months of age , to the development of skeletal and nervous systems was possible and that in the future be able to avoid problems with niegenetycznymi malocclusion (eg bad abrasion of rubbing surfaces of molars ), or the so-called . idiopathic neurological disorders (that is, having nothing to do with injuries , etc.) , it is necessary that in this particular period of most intensive growth of the young have access to mother's milk that provides the right amount of easily digestible protein to build mass ( and it is known that larger individuals tend to be or healthier ) calcium for building bones and teeth and well functioning of the nervous system and muscle and fatty acids for the proper development of the brain and nervous system. These are really important things , it's hard for them to make a diet - when it comes to chinchillas so no one fathomed their nutritional needs , such as dogs and cats, not created so rational diet for juvenile taking into account their specific needs , in this case, so its best to pass the nature and let our pupilom retrieve these valuable nutrients in the form of easily digestible , so in breast milk . No bagatelizujmy that, because investment in a juvenile profits in the future. How is such a situation that, for example niedowapnione in his youth crooked teeth start to grow in the future need to be a lifelong animal correct ? How many times it happens , so that later the animals are unexplained convulsions , muscle spasms , etc. ? Or are small, weak and sickly ? [ ... ] But when getting to a foreign home changes everything 180 degrees , often including food , diarrhea at such a young age , at best, may affect the development of the young organism , as strongly dehydrating and contribute to the loss of minerals, amino acids , etc. of the body, which in the worst case ends in death .

Separation from the mother chinchilla.

Separation from the mother of a young chinchilla is often considered an individual issue . Many sources say that experience counts a breeder , his knowledge , or the amount of litter in their own culture . However, in this article I will try to describe the ground rules that should be respected by the respectable breeders pet chinchilla .From the top I note that the article does not apply to pathological situations such as the death of a female - mother or aggression between young or young and female .

"In breeding amateur hobbistycznym DO NOT suggest a scientific references on fermowego , not because it implies a long life of animals , does not take into account their socialization with humans and the environment and well-being , it is focused on maximizing livestock production and lowering costs. " ( dream * )
Young female chinchillas feeds milk to around 56 days of their lives. Subsequent sucking " tits " is merely a habit young , this does not mean that the milk is still necessary for their survival .
