I just noticed today that my male chinchilla's fur is wet on his front, but did not see anything else. Then a few minutes ago I was watching him and saw he is pulling the fur out of the inside of his front legs! I'm so worried because we have only had him and his female a month. I've researched them so much and done everything possible to keep them happy...but I guess it's not working. I don't know what to do from here. He is only pulling out fur. There is no fungus and his teeth are fine. He is eating, drinking and going to the bathroom normally. I'm just not sure what to do from here and obviously feeling desperate.
 
They have a big cage, lots of toys, always fresh food and water, nothing has changed other than this chewing!
