Once a pair fights, I don't advise putting them back together. Colonies can fight at any time for any reason

I don't offer playtime at all. Keep in mind it's nice to offer but isn't necessary.

I have a mosaic female looking for a good home but im located in York, pa. Not sure how far you are willing to travel

I would suggest checking the sexes yourself and separating the males from females if you haven't already

I would be happy to board him for the two months you will be gone if you want to keep him. I'm a breeder/rescue in York, pa

I have a few chinchillas looking for good homes in time for Christmas! 8 week old standard female, ready now 7 month old standard female 3 year old standard female, possibly bred 1 1/2 year old standard female ready in dec 1 1/2 year old standard female dark tan male kit ready in dec extra dark...

It often is due to a birthing injury. If a kit is born backwards the mother may pull them out by the tail, biting it off. Chins adjust great to missing tails, so i would not worry about it

I have had males that old that are still breeding their females. Unfortunately he should stay alone if he does not get along with males. You could always offer a cuddle buddy (stuffed animal)

Neutering a chinchilla will not calm them down. Its best to keep the chins apart

I am in pa just south of harrisburg. I have a few chins available

I'm going to try and say this nicely. 3 dentals in 3 months is hurting her, not helping. Teeth can not be fixed, and clearly they are not able to be maintained if her teeth need fine that often. Repeated aneth, medications and no doubt syringe feeding can affect how the chin absorbs their food...

Fur chewing can also be genetic. It doesnt harm the chin in any way (no matter what the cause) so just love her the way she is

There is not any studies but i know several people who have tried uv lights to treat malo with no luck

If the chin is over a yr old its unlikely he will/should gain weight. Adults can vary from 400-1,000+ grams and be healthy. I would remove all plastic and start from there.

Did they run a fecal? How do her poops look?
