Will a male chinchilla eat a baby chinchilla?

In general, male chinchillas do not typically eat baby chinchillas. However, if a male feels threatened or stressed, or if the baby is not his own and he perceives it as a rival, there might be aggressive behavior. It's essential to monitor interactions closely during breeding and after the birth of kits to ensure their safety. Providing a calm and secure environment can help reduce stress and potential aggression.
