Was tossing around ideas in my head, and a few things struck me.
I heard that, the problem with Chinchillas that stop eating for a long time is that the bacteria they need for digestion die out.
I also heard that chin's eating their own poop does no harm.
...
Was wondering, if, for chinchillas that stopped eating, whether it is a good idea to (along with critical care) add ground up poop from a different, healthy chinchilla to their menu?
Sure, it SOUNDS nasty, but I was informed that chinchilla poop is not only fairly nutritious for them, but it is a GREAT medium for the GOOD bacteria that chins need to digest hay.
...
Can anyone here share their knowledge on why this would or wouldn't work?
