We have 3 new baby chinchillas. They were totally unexpected. I guess they must have "done it" while we had them out because we keep the males and females separate cages. They always look fat so it's hard to determine if a chin is pregnant by looks. I really didn't want more chinchillas as I already have 4. The babies are so cute that we end up keeping them instead of selling them but these will definitely have to go. I AM NOT having 7 chinchillas!

We might not have discovered them until tomorrow if I hadn't told the kids that they had to clean the cages before they went out. Kyle asked what the fuzzy little gray thing was. I was shocked then took the baby and mom out and put them in a different cage. I figured she was probably done so I went to the store. They normally have small litters. The average is 2. By the time I got home there were 2 more babies, 2 gray and 1 black. They are so cute. I'll take pics tomorrow. I don't want to handle them much today.
