biting body a lot...!

[bianca]

my chinchilla, bounce, has been scratching himself a lot and biting his fur and his feet!!
any ideas to what this could be? i gave him a dust bath, but yet hes still scratching and biting.

Mine scratches aswell.
Might be overdusted or the opposite.
Mine'll have to miss his dust a few days

since he is biting his feet and his sides and such, should i just wait it out or get him checked out?

He may have dry skin from dusting. How often are you giving your chin dust baths? I would dust a bit less often and see if the scratching continues.
