Can a Chinchilla and a Guinea Pig crossbreed?

Answer 1

Good question, well as they're both cavies the chances are high that they could make a "Chinpig or Guinea chilla". But they would probaly be deformed.

Answer 2

no they can not. they need completely different food and should never be housed together for this reason alone. A chinchilla has a very sensitive digestive system. Not only is too many treats a bad thing but changing brands of food too quickly can cause huge problems for them. If you are going to change foods, always mix in the new with some of the old bit by bit until they are used to it. This is to not shock their system. Never give a chinchilla any kind of rabbit or guinea pig food. It can cause liver damage.

Answer 3

If you know that a guinea pig is pregnant, you should separate the mother from the father and put them in separate cages. The reason for this is to ensure that the father doesn't kill the baby guinea pigs. Then you should prepare the mother's cage with some cotton and soft things to give birth on. the following link has some good information as well. http://www.diddly-di.fsnet.co.uk/breeding.htm

Answer 4

No. In truth, no animal that is not the same species can breed. Mules and ligers are very rare and go against everything nature tells us.
