Hi, I just joined Chins & Hedgies. My chinchilla's name is Pixel. He is around 5 or 6 months old and I have had him since May.
Very rarely I would find him on his side, open his cage, and he would sit up and run around.
But today after he ran around a bunch, he just laied on his side. Sometimes on his full side, sometimes on his belly with his legs out to his side, or something just flat on his belly...which I've never really seen him do. He gets up and eats pellets and hay. When I put a treat near him he jumps up. When I cover his cage he jumps up to the third level of his cage and tried to get ahold of the blanket [like always], and he just seems fine besides the laying on his side.
Im so new at being a chin owner, and I worry about every little thing. I just dont want to go to sleep and wake up with my chin gone :[
Is what he is doing normal? Is Pixel okay? Anything I can do?
Thanks.
