Do chinchillas get sick a lot?
A. No, chinchillas are usually hearty animals. But when they do get sick, they can hide it well so usually as soon as you notice something wrong, you should make a trip to the veterinarian. If your chinchilla is lethargic, not eating, drinking, or pooping, go to the vet immediately. Make sure you know of a vet that treats chinchillas ahead of time so you’re not wasting time scrambling to find one in an emergency. The best way to keep your chinchilla healthy is to feed good quality chinchilla food and provide a clean and safe cage environment for your pet.
