At last, behind all disorders about the choice and purchase of the partner, a quarantine, a ssazhivaniye. Couple does not fight at a feeding trough any more, does not spoil each other a fur coat, peacefully sleeps side by side on a shelf or in the house. Perhaps even you already found them behind implementation of your plans about expansion of family. But to learn to identify pregnancy at a female of a chinchilla, it is necessary to conform to several rules.
It is required to you
- Kitchen scales with a step no more than 1 gram; a notebook on a cage for conducting records.
Instruction
1. Remove a show-window with couple of chinchillas from whom you wait for posterity, as often as possible - it is desirable every day. It will increase your chances to find a stopper which leaves at a female at successful sexual intercourse. Existence of a stopper does not say that the female is pregnant, but already demonstrates successful attempts of family to extend. It is worth looking for a stopper, certainly, during a techka at a female. This period can be determined by characteristic behavior of a male: it will sweep a tail, to sing special songs to a female, to try to cover her at any opportunity. The loop at a female during this period bulked up, is slightly slightly opened. On average, a techka at a female each two months though specific features of each female can strongly move apart this framework.
2. Have patience: after found (or not found) traffic jams pregnancy at chinchillas to identify the first two months extremely difficult.
3. You carry out control weighing every week. Pregnancy in the second half (all it lasts about four months, from 105 to 125 days) will be given by a serious increase to weight. Though it is too not an obligatory indicator - the female can just return herself habitual weight if during a ssazhivaniye with a male strongly dumped because of a stress. If the female is more senior than one and a half years for the last month gathered above usual weight more than fifty-hundred grams - it most likely speaks about the expected replenishment.
4. Be careful at survey of a chinchilla at whom you observe pregnancy. To hold it by a tail already dangerously, especially headfirst - even with support the second hand.
5. Watch a female two months later after presumable fertilization. The girl lays down on a flank or even a back more often, its sides were considerably condensed, a stomach any more soft at least on the one hand. A month before childbirth it is possible to see stirs in a tummy. It becomes frequent a female during pregnancy more tender, sits on hands more willingly, jumps less and sleeps more.
6. Check a condition of nipples of a chinchilla. Not the pregnant woman has females or females on early terms they light pink, low-perceptible. Closer to childbirth of a pacifier bulk up, redden. It is very simple to find them: take a samochka on hands and blow on her tummy, is closer to barrels. At a chinchilla three pairs of nipples, but are active, as a rule, one or two couples therefore it is desirable to examine all.
7. Pay attention to process of defecation at a female. Frequent closer to childbirth the female at a time releases not one, and at once several bollyus that speaks about the increased pressure in an abdominal cavity.
8. Check closer to estimated date of childbirth a condition of a loop. It, as well as during a techka, will be slightly increased and slightly opened. Will give this period and characteristic behavior of a male which, as well as in the beginning, will attract a female with special sounds, waving of a tail and to try to cover her. You should not allow it. If you did not replace a female in specially prepared maternity cage yet, transplant a male. Late change before the childbirth can serve as a stress for a female, consequences can be the most deplorable. A male it is worth transplanting as in the first three days he can cover a female again, and it will be much heavier to it to bring up kids, to take out new pregnancy and to keep health. Besides, the female can begin to banish a male from kids that will take away from her forces from the main process. However, if repeated fertilization already happened, you should not panic. See to behavior of a male. If he does not offend kids, he can become the excellent assistant for a female as will take active part in education and heating of kids.
