    Chinchilla limping

    For a prey animal, she shouldn't be limping wo being in pain or theory 2 is he is acting for treats when ppl feel sympathy( darn everyone of my pets played me that way) . I would get a second opinion and some pain management and if he still acts up after go with theory 2.

    Tall Vs. Wide Cage

    Both. They like being eye level and climbing/jumping adds enrichment, but wide actually gives them room to move naturally.

    How do you tell if a chinchilla likes a show

    Basic nutrition

    I second the oxbow and maz. Dont use rabbit food as it is not the right nutrients for chinchilla(like feeding a hawk parrot food), they don't over eat for the most part.

    Bottle vs bowl

    Hello like I titled I was wondering about using a bowl(attached off ground and small-ie smallbird bowl, so they don't get wet) instead since it was discovered not so long ago that bottles lead to most rodents( rabbits, rats, hamsters, ect) being dehydrated, choking on the ball and being mostly...
