I wonder when my chin's can mate ? currently their are 4 months +++ old....
i've seen my male chin's doing some naughty thing on the female , but they didnt actually mating ler ....hope some pro's can give me some advise....cheeersss...

Hi,
females should not be mated till they are at least 6 months old. Preferably when they are at least 600grams.
Hence, i would suggest that u seperate your chins for now till they are older.

At least 6 months old ah ..okie...thanx for the advise THB , wat if they mate already ? will the female pregnant ? what will happend to the babies or the female ? ....bcoz if i seperate them , both of them will b lonely ..pity them
so they best way is to seperate them ? need advise pls...

6 months is generally too young. Most experienced breeders would say nine months to a year. Chins are generally still growing at 6 months and it would affect the growth of the female if she were pregnant while still growing.

Look at it this way; it is theoretically possible for a human female to be pregnant at the age of 14 but I don't think it is something a lot of doctors would recommend.

In addition, you need to consider what color your chin is. I have found that ebonies, violets, and TOV chins tend to mature more slowly and contrinue to grow for more than 18 months.

In this particular situation I would suggest separating the two chins ASAP. If the female is already pregnant there is not much that can be done but if she is nto why risk it? If you are worried that they will be lonely you can place their cages next to each other so that they can continue to see each other.

You have to remember that you have a responsibility to your chins. If you are concerned that they will be lonely you could always spend more time playing with each of them so that they have you as a companion instead of each other.

I would also like to add, that whites also tend to mature later. The fastest would be Std Grey and Beiges, even then try not to breed them till at least 9 months. Just to thread on the safe side.

Actually, i find ebonies,violets,sapphires the slowest to mature. 6 months would be the general information found on the net. The bare minimum. Best, as mentioned by wk, is 9 mths plus. However, look at the weight too.

Thanks to all the bro's for the advise , i think i better seperate them b4 is too late , i dowan anything happen to them , since i love them so much...

im not sure what type of chin's are they , will post the pic soon for you all to help me identify ...

Thanks again....
