Hi there! I have had my chinchilla for about 5 years and this is the first I'm noticing his matted fur along both sides of his body. He has never had a problem like this before but I've recently noticed that it's becoming extremely matted (about the size of 2 quarters on 1 side) from his wheel. I use the standard plastic wheel but just purchased the chin spin in the hopes that it will help.
Others have stated that you should try to remove the matt but it doesn't seem to phase my chin. He is very fidgety so it has been difficult to even attempt to get some of it out. What do i do?? If it doesn't bother him do I just let it run its course???
