Please remember that you should NEVER squeeze or prod the belly of a pregnant chinchilla, this can cause stillborns or miscarriages.

The safe way to feel for kits is to allow the pregnant chin to stand in your hands, or gently rest your hand against her stomach and if she is far along you should be able to feel the kits.

Remember you should never cause a pregnant chin any unnecessary stress, so if feeling for babies seems to be annoying her, let her be, and try again later.
