Thank you for the info! I'll watch him use it for a bit to make sure he doesn't have to bend his back at all. I've always thought he was a little on the small size so maybe it'll be okay idk. He's around 900g but that's not his healthy weight because he's a little chunky right now.

Okay I can try giving him more Infacol. He doesn't like it on it's own, but he has no problem taking it if I put it on hay, but he can also be quite picky so I'm worried he might get bored if I keep handing him hay to eat... I'll still try it out though and see if he is willing.
I feed him...
This is going to be long, please bare with me.
I'm really stressing out right now and I don't know what to do, I tried posting on the chinchilla subreddit for advice but let's just say reddit is unhelpful and unfriendly everywhere it seems.
My timeline is a little hazy but a few weeks ago I...
