Hi
my femmal chinchilla urinate all over her cage and she has a yellwo bot. (http://i13.servimg.com/u/f13/11/60/45/17/imgp1010.jpg)
Can it be an infection?
Thank you.

It could be I guess, but some are like that.
I'd take all shelves out so she has to sit on the floor, with maybe one house and a tube or something.
Depends on the floor mind you.If it's wire botton make sure there is a flat surface for her to sit on.
If you keep shelves make sure they are off from the sides of the cage, she may pee out over them and down to the floor.
I have several that do that.
Jo Ann says it's a learned behavior and such chins should not be bred.
Yours does look like one of the worst I've seen.
I have a coulple with a little yellow right at the site, nothing as bad as you are discribing.
I'd clean her with baby wipes, you may be able to teach her to clean herself better, something her Mom shoud have done.
Make sure she is good and dry and give her dust baths more often.

she does that only when she is pregnet.

thank you
