Here you will not find instructions for a commercial breeding, because I don´t know much about that and it is not my favoured interest. Here should just appear a collection of my experiences in being a hobby breeder. I started my breeding carrier just thinking to have to males in the cage. Yes, and one time one of the boys got babies!!! I recognized, that Tweety got bigger and bigger, but I always thought, that "he" just likes eating!!! If you are planning to breed chinchillas you should think over some things: * What is my interest in breeding? * Which chinchillas do I put together? * Are there enough people to take the babies? There can be several goals to be reached by breeding. My goal is, to have pairs together that like each other and get healthy babies. About some aspects about breeding I will talk here: Inbreeding Breeding color mutations Pedigree Breeding-book Bringing together
