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.
