I have noticed in the past year that there seems to be more instances of urinary incontinence being mentioned.

I myself have had the problem with a baby male charcoal.

It seems to affect mainly male chinchillas - and it is believed to be a congenital defect.

There is no cure.

I state that is appears to be rare - well I am beginning to rethink that.

It is not possible to state anything for certain - but statistically it may affect more chins than I first thought.


Only by NOT breeding from any chins that have had affected kits - and removing suspect bloodlines from the gene pool can we effectively eradicate this problem.
