Q & A / Introducing New Chinchillas
« on: October 06, 2015, 05:02:56 PM »
Hi! I have recently gotten a new chinchilla (Charlie) to give my original chin (Chico) a buddy, they're both male, it has only been a few days and I have their cages side by side for a slow introduction. But Chico seems super depressed now, he is lethargic and isn't eating or drinking as much as usual and is turning his nose up to his favourite treats. He doesn't want to come out of his cage and hides when I open the cage door. I think he may be getting dehydrated as his pellets are becoming increasingly smaller. Is this normal behaviour that he will get over eventually or should I be concerned?
Thanks!
Robin
