Moose, a male black velvet is seen on the left. #1 In His Color Division 2004 Grand Champion Male 2004 Southeast Coastal MCBA bred by Ralph Shoots Now he has a home at Luv 'N Chins! Breeding Dates Why should you be interested in planning the breeding date for your chin? Do you want her to deliver while you are gone on vacation? In the middle of the holidays... when there will be allot going on around and away from the house? There are many things to consider... when you put your chin into a breeding situation. Not only is the health of the kits at stake, but ... the health of the one you already have, the mom. Plan accordingly! Remember, a "breeding situation" is anytime... you put a male and female chinchilla in the same cage, same area during playtime, or by placing two cages within 3" of each other!
