This solution can be used to supplement the diet. It may provide hydration and some calories, but is by no means a complete diet. If your chinchilla is having difficulty eating, an exam with your veterinarian would be recommended. You can soak pellets to make a slurry or use a product, such as Oxbow Critical Care for Herbivores, until Alvin is able to eat normally.
