My chinchilla is acting very strange

[Chinnie]

Hi!

She went to take a dust bath and she could barely roll over she just layed there with her head popped out... i a a newer chin owner and would like some help. she also lays on her side more than normal now and is really alot calmer which is worrying me. ... Please help me!:cry3:

Take her in to the vet! If you don't already have one, there's a good section of the forums here:

Check her ears for any potential signs of overheating too. If they look pink, cool her down and get her to a cold place.

If she is barely moving and not hoping around and laying on her side more often than not this is known as lethargy and is not a good sign in chinchillas. She needs to be seen by a vet asap to determine what is causing her to be this way

How hot is the room she is in? Like mentioned before, if she is showing signs of overheating, which lethargy is a symptom of, she needs to be cooled down and see a vet asap. Even if she is not too hot, she should see a vet. Lethargy is a sign of something serious.
