Are there specific sites to get these rose hips or safe chinchilla treats? I do know the grocery store for the cheerios and oatmeal.

Ahh thank you so much. No more raisins ever that's for sure. I'm scared now. She has a vet appointment on the 31st. I had her out for about 4 hours today to play, she seems fine. So cheerios and oatmeal are ok? Like the no flavor oatmeal, any specific brand? or just any non flavored kind?

I just bought the oxford brand you told me to get. i just geld some in my hand to see if she would eat it ad she did. I mixed the two foods together and we'll just see how this goes and I took away all her treats so people cant get to them and i'll let them know as well. I also bought her a bunch more toys to chew on, thinking maybe she is bored and I'm going to schedule a vet apportionment her shortly just to make sure.

I tell my family members not to give her so many rasins but they think because she likes them they can have a lot of them. I'm going to hide them so they can not give her anymore. I meant to say the name of the food, i forgot. Its Tropical Carnival for chinchillas. It said it was natural and when i tried to change her food her poop got very moist so I just kept getting the tropical carnival. That incident happened about a year and a half ago. Its just weird she seems so happy and excited all the time when i go check on her.I check her teeth and feet and exam her myself to see if there is any noticeable signs but i dont see any. I am trying to get a hold of some veterinarian clinics that do care for chinchillas at the moment.

She has been eating the same food since I got her a little over two years ago. I try not to give her a lot of treats. She eats raisins a lot though. She's barely bothered by the other pets in the house, they don't really go in the basement. Thanks for the help, maybe ill just take her to a vet for an exam.

Her cage is in a basement, but it is a redone basement. Her cage is pretty big too. She has plenty to play with in her cage, i do not get her out everyday but I do go down and talk to her multiple times a day and feed her about the same time everyday. She is also very active.

The past few month I have noticed that my chinchilla's fur looks different. It kind of looks like it is messy only on the bottom half of her body. I will attach a picture. I looked up a bunch of things about it and i know that matted fur is not good. but in my opinion it does not look matted. I thought maybe she was shedding too. I comb her sometimes and i give her dust baths regularly. I even thought maybe she was rubbing against the cage and that is why it looks like that, but a week ago i fixed that part of the cage. Another thing o just added to the cage is a fleece hammock, I don't think that would be the reason either since it has been like that for a few months. Any help would be great.
