As long as the twitching is mild and it is not waking Bugsy up from sleep then I would not be too concerned about it. I would however recommend making sure Bugsy is on a complete and balanced diet so you know he is getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs. https://www.petco.com/content/content-hub/home/articlePages/caresheets/chinchilla.html I hope this helps. Thanks for using PetCoach. Best of luck!
