I wish I knew what to say. There is a lot of conflicting data out there about what is safe and what is not so maybe someone who knows more can recommend something more. As long as she is eating her hay and pellets that is the most important thing. I think it is good to feed yogurt, maybe a up to half a teaspoon a day for bringing the digestive tract back into balance. Dried cranberry is not a bad thing to try. Feed it like you would raisins, no more than a couple of pieces a day to avoid diarrhea. What kind of condition are her droppings in? Watch closely for diarrhea or constipation which will work against you.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

You can try regular (not frosted or choco) cheerios (dipped in yogurt is another trick; then freeze them!) or dried cranberries.

You could try to give her Critical Care also.  Are you comfortable feeding her with the syringe?

She could have reabsorbed kits in early pregnancy.If she became stressed she might do that, and you would notice the roundness gone from her belly.
