Also, I’ve been giving tap water to him. I heard it can give harmful bacteria to chins. Would this be in the form of parasite or other? Because vet said no parasites. If I switch to purified water can this solve the problem?
I have had my chinchilla two weeks now and I got him from a previous owner who took care of him well (as far as I can tell…oxbow pellets, hay, correct cage furniture, etc). A couple days of having him I noticed he wasn’t eating well and his poops were soft. I thought it could have been stress...
