I got a chinchilla 1 week ago. He is 9 years old, and came from a home with other chinchillas (although he lived alone because his cage mate died last year) and rabbits.
I haven’t done a health check on him yet because I wanted to let him settle in a bit first. So far he’ll sniff my hand a bit but doesn’t want me to touch him.
Today I noticed he was pulling out the fur along the inside of one of his arms. The inside of one arm is pretty much bald.
Is this fur chewing or possibly mites...
