hi took Chico to the vet and she did ex rays and the good news is his teeth are perfect but his liver was slightly swollen could be down to not eaten properly she gave me some Zantac  to give him and a stick to put in his wee to test for diabetes I moved him into a bigger cage next to the mother and baby so he can see them.

Sounds like he's having a rough time. I've never heard of giving a chinchilla Zantac before.

I am so glad to hear you chinchilla is recovering. As far as the baby I remember that when I got my chinchilla, Kulu, at three months old, he was still pretty small (300g) and able to fit into places that an adult could not although he did well in my big cage although it took a couple of weeks for him to learn how to use the upper shelves. So I know 300g is safe. That's about all I know there.
