This is the first time for the black Chinchilla buck to be used and these are his off springs. We used the broken-back Chinchilla buck to mate with the two original does. This time, we thought we'd use the black Chinchilla buck since he is almost 9 months old by October 02, 2011. We first took the Cinnamon doe and put her inside the cage of the black buck. As soon as she was in the cage, the buck mounted her but the doe was not having any of that. She took her own sweet time before she let the buck to ride her. Then she made a pee! This means that the semen of the buck must have been washed away. We had to wait for about 30 minutes until the buck served her twice again before we removed the doe and put her back in her own cage.
We did the same thing with the white Chinchilla but she was also not in the mood. She just kept on running around in circles going 'round and 'round the buck and jumping every time she sees the buck coming towards her. She was very aggressive this morning but apparently, she was not in the mood this evening. It looked like she was ready to fight with the buck and she would put him in a corner and the buck would just lie down. Finally, the buck got a chance and was able to service her twice before we took her out. When she was finally in her own cage with her litters, she was still running around in circles. It must be that she didn't want any of her litters messing with her at that time and she wasn't ready to feed them yet. Anyway,the pictures here are the result of that re-breeding process.
