How to care for Baby Chinchilla without Chinchilla Mother?

I wanted to know how to care for baby chinchilla.
If the baby chinchilla 5 weeks old and there is not Mother chinchilla.
How could i support it?
where to get milk/supplies?
how many times should i milk it?
is it ok for me to leave it in the cage in my room when im busy?
the Kit is with it mother since it was born and now.
Im buying a kit but im telling owner to hold it because it not ready.

Well, firstly may I ask where the mother of this kit is? The kit should not be weaned yet and should still be with it's mother.
Where is this kit currently living?
Is it eating and drinking on it's own?

If you have no experience rearing kits then you should not attempt to give it milk - you can do far more harm than good. In fact, you can make the kit inhale the milk into it's lungs and kill it.
The kit should still be with it's mother - most reputable breeders do not wean kits until at least 6 weeks old (8 in the UK) and do not sell them until they have had a good couple of weeks on their own.
They need to be capable of eating and drinking independently of their mother and should gain weight and be healthy before sale.

Edited to add - I see you have asked this question before ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsHTdwvNi5yKdxAMMSItjBbsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090607084020AAzf6kS&show=7#profile-info-l7qAHovkaa ) and gotten a couple of answers - asking more than once is not going to give you the answers you want to hear.

I also note that you have joined Chins-n-Hedgies and received some excellent advice there too - please heed the advice given already.

How do you care for baby rabbits?

I found four baby rabbits in my yard, the mamma wasn't far, she was dead though. So I brought the babies into my house to take care of them. I gave them regular milk through an eye dropper. Is it alright to give them regular milk? How many times a day should I feed them? They don't have there eyes open yet, there really adorable. How do I keep them alive though?

1. NO! You do not feed them regular milk!

2. These are wild bunnies, and illegal for you to keep and care for. You need the proper permits to keep and care for wild animals. You need to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator immediately. You can find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.htm

The best info on orphaned baby bunnies is this website: http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/orphan.html

It states: Many people mean well when they contact HRS after discovering an "abandoned" nest of wild rabbits. Often they wish to "rehabilitate" them with some advice from others. The reality is fewer than 10% of orphaned rabbits survive a week, and the care that people attempt to provide can be illegal, unnecessary, and potentially harmful...If the mom was killed, the best thing you can do for a wild orphaned baby bunny is to get in touch with a skilled rehabilitator.

It is imperative that you get these bunnies to a licensed rehabilitator immediately! You've done a great job, rescuing them after the mother died, but now you need to give them to a licensed professional.

Also, do not take them to a vet - vets are for pets and most do not have the expertise to care for wild animals. Also, just like you, vets do not have the proper licenses that permit them to keep wild animals. A vet would have to find a licensed rehabilitator to take the bunnies anyway.
