Hey so my chin is 2 years old and she has had some matted fur near her hind legs and I noticed that she hasn't been eating her hay like she normally does. But she still acts perfectly fine, she is playful and will run around whenever she gets the chance. She still eats her regular pellets and her poops are good. Should I be worried or what?

Some chinchillas are messy keepers and get matts. You can remove those with a firm quick tug easily. As to the feed just like people chinchillas have tines when they will be less hungry and just eat a bit less. Just monitor her to keep an eye out for other issues and check her water intake but don't worry too much it can be normal
