Many people will have this question: What should I do if my chinchilla loses its hair? Is chinchilla hair loss serious? So next, let's take a look at why chinchillas are seriously shedding hair.
Maybe it's time for a hair change. Chinchillas do not change their hair regularly. Change your hair every 3 months as your hair grows. This kind of hair change is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as the number of combing is appropriately increased, the lost hair will be combed out in time.
The hair loss in chinchillas may be due to trichotillomania. Chinchillas with this disease are generally more agitated, eat their own hair, and some even bite people. This medicine is generally incurable, and multivitamins are generally effective after treatment.

Chinchilla hair loss may be caused by food. Some people like to give chinchillas cooked nuts or melon seeds, but the linoleic acid in the cooked melon seeds has been exerted. Ripe melon seeds contain salt and additives, which can also easily lead to chinchilla shedding. Try to feed raw melon seeds, don't let others eat them.
The above is all the explanations I know about the serious hair loss of Chinchillas~ I hope it can help you.
