Determining Sex


 

Below are images of male and female chins at varying ages. To determine sex, you want to place your chin on a flat surface and lift its tail so you can look at its genitals. Males will have a gap between the anus and the penile sheath, while females will not have a gap between the anus and the vagina.

It's super important to verify the sex of your chinchillas when you bring them home. Many times, chins are mis-determined, causing unwanted and accidental pregnancies!
