How do you know if chinchilla is pregnant?
You can lightly press on the chinchillas stomach everyday. If her stomach feels hard like when a person has eaten a lot she will most likely have babies. You can also feel under her armpits and down her sides for enlarged nipples. They will be long and the color of the chinchilla will determine what color they are but they will be unmistakable.

Which is better vegetables or fruit for a guinea pig?
Guinea pigs should be fed more vegetables than fruits in their lifetime however, that does not mean fruits are less important.

In conclusion Guinea pigs should be fed both fruits and vegetables, and both should be considered equally important.
