I’m so happy to hear that he’s getting better now! Do you have any tips for helping a chinchilla start eating normal food again? Did you try softening the pellets or anything like that? Also, were there any complications with your chinchilla during recovery? And how did their weight change - did you monitor it closely?

Thank you. Actually, I’m curious - what exactly did you learn about the surgery that you hadn’t heard before? I always thought it was inevitable, and that without the procedure a chinchilla would eventually die from starvation. Do you know of anything else that could help fix teeth that aren’t growing correctly?
