Sunday night I went to feed my chinchillas, and saw my very first and oldest chinchilla in the corner of his cage laying down. I picked him up and saw that his son who he has lived with for 11 years attacked him. He attacked his face, his tail, and the back of his head it was unlike any other chinchilla attack I had seen, and the first time he had gone after his father. Moments later my boy died, at first I thought that it was his son who practically killed him, my husband said the wounds didn't seem life threatening. I'm wondering if my chinchilla became weak all of a sudden and was dying all ready when his son attacked him. I feel so bad for not checking up on my chinchillas in the morning, knowing my poor little boy was near death. Do chinchillas attack a chinchilla if their dying?
