What kind of cage do you have the baby and mom in? Is it baby proof so the baby can't get out? This thread might help with the kits. http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=864

Most pine shavings are kiln-dried. What brand of shavings were you using?

Yes the FP1 and the FP2 pans are for the ferret nation.

Is there a chance this chinchilla could be pregnant? As stated by tunes a vet would be your best option to help this chin. Is this a different chinchilla from the one that was bitten by the rat?

It is generally consensus to wait until the chin is 6 months old before giving healthy treats (rosehips, cheerios, shredded wheat). Raisins should not be given at any age as they are to high in sugar.

Looks like the ranch brand is for Chenlouchins. If they are still breeding and they keep good records they should be able to tell you the information you are looking for.

Just out of curiosity what color are they parents?

What kind of food are you feeding him and is it the same type of food he was on before you got him? Are you giving him any kind of treats?

No they are not safe. They are known as death balls. It causes the chin to overheat which leads to heatstroke.

The Vita Prima Chinchilla food ingredient list it shows Raisins, Dehydrated Papaya, Dehydrated Carrot, Dehydrated Apple, Dehydrated Banana.

That food is not good as it has all the junk in it. Stick to a pellet only food like Oxbow or Mazuri. I'm surprised that store is feeding that to there chins as corporate has the 3 store near me feeding Oxbow brand to all there small animals.

Housing 2 males and a female together is asking for fighting. Also keep in mind even if the new chinchilla is a male there is no guarantee he will get along with your two current chinchillas. Do you have a separate cage to quarantine the new chinchilla away from your current chinchillas?

PM sent.

It's hard to tell specially with no signs and could be a number of things. A necropsy might help to determine cause of death.

Are you noticing a wetness around her eyes? Here is a thread with pictures of wet eyes http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22164. If they have teeth issues they can also drool.
