I'm glad it was not more serious than that and very glad it was not unprovoked self-mutilating behavior. If you notice him eating fleece or carefresh you should probably remove those things and see if you can use pine chips since those carry a risk of bowel obstruction if ingested. Maybe you can put the chips into into a metal pan if it comes to that.

I hope your pet gets well soon.

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

Thanks, I am glad it is what it is.  I put the carefresh on top of several layers of newspapers instead of the fleece.  We will see if everything clears up.  He's on the meds for 10 days and I hope that takes care of it all.  Still worried and will watch him very closely.
