My chinchilla (Jovie) is about a year and 6 months. We upgraded to a bigger cage a couple months ago because due to my busy schedule, I couldn't let her out for hours at a time. I clean her cage about once a week. I am going to change her food soon because she is only eating the fruits and veggies in the mix, not the pellets. Anyways, I'm not sure if she is urinating and then sitting in it or what. It has been like this for about a month and a half and  thought if I just kept better track on where she was doing her business, I would clean that area better and more frequently..but it's still there. She has also been biting at her hind legs quite often starting 2 weeks ago. I was unable to get a picture of them because she hates being on her back. I'm not sure if it's the fur she's biting or if it's the actual leg. I am very worried. Do you think I should take her to a vet?!
