If your vet is familiar with the chinchilla, and has treated him before, you can call the office for some advice. If you cannot get a satisfactory answer over the phone, then definitely make an appointment to see the vet. I do not know that much about chinchillas in particular, but have owned a lot of other pets, and it does sound as if he does not feel well. Is this different from the way he usually behaves?? The vet can tell you more about what is going on, and if he is in pain, give you the options you have for his comfort and your peace of mind. I hope that everything works out for you and your little guy, they are so cute. Best of luck to you both!

You really haven't given enough information for me to take a guess at what is wrong with him. If he will not walk around the cage when you nudge him I certainly think he needs a vet.
