Faye's First Litter (Born July 6th, 98)

This morning, we found Faye's first daughter.  She is already clean and dry.  As a first time mother, Faye is doing the best job of a mother ;0)

Baby No. 1, about three hours old.

Chinchilla babies are very strong.   They are ready to explor their new world as soon as they are borned.

Here is No. 2 on the left and No. 1 on the right.  No. 2 is one day younger than No. 1 but much bigger and heavier than her.

Faye nursing her daughter.   Chinchilla mother loves to keep kit underneath to keep them warm and protect them from enermies.  This is their original habitat in the wild especially when they are so small.  But don't worry, most pet chinchilla mother don't mind human picking up their babies.  As soon as you don't play with the kit a very long time because kit need milk very often from moma.

The ChungChung Family!  No. 1 three days old.

No. 1 a week old.  No. 4 & 5 is already borned and are behind her. No. 1:  What are you looking at?

It become more and more difficult to take them a good pic.....  Ok, don't move!

Sleeping with the moma - Faye.  The fatehr- ChungChung - is in the sleeping box.

Free run time!  And she is now 3 weeks old.

21 days old, weighted almost 100 grams.

What are you looking at?

She is growing very fast, she is not very handful but very cute.

Chinchilla baby make a very good pillow for the mother.

One month old.

For every baby, we give them their first taste of raisin as soon as they are one month old ;-)

Another picture of her enjoying her first raisin.  She knows the meaning of her life finally.  Haha...

And another.  Happy one month old.

In this picture, Faye is in the left side at top of ChungChung who is on the right side and the little thing in the middle is No. 1.

Haveing a little free run.

Two weeks before she go, we separated her from Faye see if she is okay with it.  We also put No.2 with her since they will leave together as a pair.

The day before she go.  Almost 4 months old.  Because we want her to stay longer with us (our first baby...) and that's why she leave at this age ^^.

Sleeping zzzzzz.....Remember this cage?   Saw it in out ChinCage page?  This cage is only for separation of a single one or for a pair of baby because this cage is too small for two adults.
