The birth of a chinchilla is an extremely rare moment, and luckily I was able to capture it on video. This is our chinchilla, Mochi, giving birth to her second baby!

Chinchillas are precocial, meaning that their babies are born with hair, eyes open, ears open, and are mobile. They will already be walking about and trying to nurse. A healthy kit normally weighs between 35 and 60 grams at birth. The weight will be less per kit depending on the number in the litter.
