My chin loves his timothy hay, he eats it all the time. However, he loves to throw the hay on the ground and leave it untouched. I will wake up in the morning to find hay all over his cage. I think he eats a lot of it, but 50% ends up in the bedding. Is this normal? Do i need to supply...

All the suggestions were great, but it seems like my chinchilla was just a picky one. I switched to bottled water and he drinks normally now.
