More food, hand fed chinchillas need at least 45ml of critical care a day to slow down weight loss, 60ml or more is usually needed to keep a steady weight, 4 15ml feedings a day.

Unfortunately he passed away with ammonia he was having a problem breathing For some reason when He started with the problem with his teeth I think he started to developed the breathing problems the antibitic he was on was not for that and we could not save him we did all that we could
