Should I be concerned if my chinchilla tries to drink her urine? She is recovering from a spay so I have her on fleece in a small cage. I just witnessed her pee and immediately beginning licking it as if she needed to clean it before it soaked in.
Is this a sign of illness or could she just be trying to keep her small space clean? Has anyone ever noticed their chin do this?
