New Resident Chinchilla

We took in a new chinchilla, Bert a few months ago but we have not introduced him on the site. He is a elderly chin, about 12 years old.

He does look a little scruffy but is eating and drinking properly. He particularly likes to chew willow sticks to little bits and enjoy eating hay much more than pellets.

I was hoping that his fur would improve over time and he will look fluffy once again.

He doesnt like being held very much at the moment and is reluctant to come out from his cage. I have tried to introduce him to one of my other young chins but I guess he prefers to stay along and watch the world go by.



Will put more updates about him as we monitor his progress. :)
