1. Chinchillas will be irritable and restless before giving birth, and it may keep walking around the cage Walking, or biting the cage. Moreover, chinchillas drink water frantically before giving birth, so that they can have enough milk to feed the hamster babies that are about to be born. The breasts of the chinchillas that are about to be born will also be swollen, and it is very obvious. The prolapse of the uterus will compress the bladder, so the hamster’s urination volume will increase, and the belly will also increase significantly. The larger the belly, the more fetuses.
2. When chinchillas are nearing giving birth, mucus may also flow out of the genitals, which is a normal physiological response. Before the hamster gives birth, it will build a nest, that is, build a delivery room for itself, and the hamster will stay in this delivery room for production and breastfeeding. Therefore, before the chinchilla is born, the owner should prepare more mats, tissues, etc. for the chinchilla to facilitate it to build a nest.
3, Before chinchilla production, the owner needs to prepare production supplies in advance. If the chinchilla’s amniotic fluid is ruptured, but the fetus has not been born for a long time, it is likely that the hamster is dystocia. The owner should immediately take the hamster to the pet hospital for treatment and help the hamster give birth. If the hamster is born smoothly, the owner does not need to stare at the hamster all the time, and only needs to check whether the hamster is finished at intervals. After all, being watched will also bring production pressure to the hamster.
4. If the production environment of chinchillas is not hygienic, it is likely to cause inflammation of the birth canal. Chinchillas should be given some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, or the birth canal should be washed with sterile saline. Postnatal care of hamsters is also very important. Try to place them in a quiet and warm environment. Try not to disturb the hamsters during lactation, and keep the breeding environment clean and hygienic.
As long as there is no accident in the production of hamsters, there is basically no need for the owner to worry about it. However, if the hamster has a dystocia, the owner cannot ignore it, but should promptly take effective action. If you have any other questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
