Fur Biting In Chinchillas



Does your chinchilla have a messy and uneven fur coat? Then your pet may be showing signs of fur-biting.


Fur-biting is a habit commonly done by chinchillas that many thought to have stemmed from having an anti-social behavior. The experts now say that, upon further study, fur-biting is most likely coming from other reasons.


If your chinchilla is biting his fur, there is a high possibility that he is bored, stressed, or in conflict with the other nearby chinchillas. The next step you should take is to schedule your pet for a proper examination by an expert who can find the underlying cause. They could help you devise a concrete plan that effectively addresses the fur-biting behavior.


Fur biting can also stem from other medical concerns, so be thorough in your assessment and consult your veterinarian Savannah, GA for a health checkup.
