morning all, got up this morning to find my chinchillas (who should have both been male) have bred and theres 3 babies in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
problem is one doesnt look to good and had been born or dropped onto the wire mesh at the bottom. now ive placed a nest in there which mummy has moved 2 babies into, but the other is left out. after an hour i rubbed my hands over mummy and in the sawdust and picked up baby, although its squeaking its ice cold, ive put it in the nest but guess mum aint interested as shes ignoring. i know this is sometimes how mother nature works...mum rejects baby cause theres something wrong...but my kids are screaming at me to do something...is there anyway i can help the little thing?
