Health / Re: I think I have a problem, but not sure

I thought it may have been bloat because we switched feeds. Though I had done it gradually, I was still worried. I haven't taken her to the vet yet and she seems fine. Yeah, she does poop and is eating and drinking fine. She seems to be rather depressed looking or uncomfortable.
She's still growing and yeah we do have another cage for the male if she delivers. We only have one level left in the cage they are in now and it's not very high. They seem fairly bored with it, but I don't want her to hurt herself or her potential babies. I haven't been poking around but I have felt her (she's a very friendly chinchilla... she's my baby) and she doesn't mind being touched, she just looks so uncomfortable/depressed. I'm trying to do my best to keep them cool (it's been tough up here in NY with all this hot weather!) but they've seemingly been doing fine.
She took a great interest in a few blocks of wood I gave them earlier, so thats a plus!
Thanks for the help and I'll let you know what happens!
