Why did your chinchilla quit eating?

Answer 1

Could be many reasons;

1) The chinchilla has a tooth problem which is causing eating to be painful commonly with its cheek teeth that you can't see without an x-ray- take the chinchilla to the vets.

2) Your chinchilla is very pregnant and about to have babies, it will start eating very soon or if you temp it with a rasin.

3)Your chinchilla has problem with it's intestines and needs to see a vet.

Other reasons also exist but generally a chinchilla that doesn't eat for a few days needs to see the vet. Their are lots of microorganisms that live in a chinchillas gut and the complex ballance may be lost if the chinchilla doesn't keep eating.
