It is almost impossible without an ultra-sound preformed by the vet, but very few chinchillas will let you do this with out becoming stressed. Some signs to look for are; 1) a copulatory plug just after mating not proof of pregnancy but proof of mating. 2) movement of the kits inside their mum can sometimes be seen after 60 day or so. 3) pegnant chinchillas can lay down more than usual and become restless when the kits are kicking them. 4) nipples may elongate and become visable a few weeks before birth. This is quite noticable as they can be around 1cm in length. 5) pregant chinchillas can get grumpy near to giving birth, clicking at their partners and you 6) some chinchillas even stop eating a few days before the birth. If you are breeding chinchillas you may want to weigh them at regular intervals as this will show the chinchillas normal weigh and therefore the weight gain due to pregnancy. This method gives you a much more reliable guide without the stress of ultra-sound.

You have to wait about six weeks and then her abdomen will begin to swell. You can also take her to the vet and they can tell you.

Look at the genitals. In females, there is next to no space between the vagina and anus. In males, there is more space between the penis and anus.

How did my chinchilla have a baby when it was not with a male?

It is impossible to become pregnant unless the egg of your pet chinchilla was fertilized by a male chinchilla. Chinchillas are pregnant for about three months, so maybe your chinchilla found a male three months ago without you noticing.

I got a chinchilla 3 months ago but at the pet store she was in a cage with a male and now she's pregnant does there have to be a male chinchilla with her when she gives birth and after she has them?

The Male chinchilla does not need to be there when and after she gives birth. It's suggested that if you have the male and female in the same cage to remove the male when she gives birth and have him in another cage neighboring her's. This is to ensure that the female does not become pregnant after just giving birth because it's very tiring for them.

Who cares for chinchilla mom chinchilla or dad chinchilla?

The mom can take care of all of the duties by herself. However some people will leave the dad with the two, the dad will sometimes help clean the newborn kit and dry it. However, many people remove the dad, as the female chinchilla has 2 uteruses and can get pregnant 24 hours and 7 days after birth, and breed backs can be harmful to a female.
