Experience My experience in this area is that I have a chinchilla on my own.
We have got all the needed supplies for our chinchilla and have done a lot of research before we had got him. I still am doing research every day as to learning new things. its always good to be prepared then not to.

Question I have a female chin that is about a year old. I have noticed that she has increased her water intake and also her urine output seems to be quite high. I clean her cage once a week and just about 3 or 4 days later I need to clean out some of the urine soaked shavings. Have you ever experinced this problem? Is this normal? I have had a male before and I don't remember this problem with him. If you can give me any insite please let me know, I have 2 girls that just love her and I don't want anything to happen to her! Thanks! Scott
Answer hello scott!
I am not an expert on health issues but this i may be able to help you with.
Every animal that drinks fluids must let it out. if she is increasing the water intake then it would also increase the water out-take. But thats just my theory.
Once again, im not an expert with health issues but i would recomend that you see a vet about this just because i understand that she is very close to your family and i would not want anything to happen to her.
Thank you for coming to me and i am very sorry i could not answer your question but i wish the best to you all!
