The data about chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger) reproduction are limited and in some cases discordant. The aim of this study was to monitor the sexual hormone fluctuation by fecal progesterone level and colpocytology analysis by vaginal smears in order to evaluate the different phases of the oestrus cycle. Twenty-four non pregnant chinchillas aged from 1 to 4 years old and subdivided in three groups were monitored. In contrast with findings reported in other study, the high values of progesterone recorded in autumn suggested the presence of a ciclicity also in this period. The data indicate that chinchilla presents a continuous cycle.
关于毛丝鼠（Chinchilla laniger）繁殖的数据有限，且在某些情况下相互矛盾。本研究的目的是通过粪便孕酮水平监测性激素波动，并通过阴道涂片进行阴道细胞学分析，以评估发情周期的不同阶段。对24只年龄在1至4岁之间、分为三组的未怀孕毛丝鼠进行了监测。与其他研究报告的结果相反，秋季记录的高孕酮值表明在这个时期也存在周期性。数据表明毛丝鼠呈现连续的周期。
