A mother chinchilla begins caring for her kits as soon as they are born. She cleans them during the birthing process and even uses her teeth to help pull them from the birth canal. She dries them after the birthing process. She nurses them until they are about eight weeks old. Mother chinchillas even defend their kits by spitting at potential harassers.
