It just looks like furslip to me, nothing to worry about. It will grow back. Chinchillas will slip their fur when they get touched and feel threatened, it`s their escape mechanism.

Whether you think he feels threatened or not doesn't really matter. What matters is if HE feels threatened. A car horn can cause it, or a telephone ringing and startling him. No one can know what will set a chin off.

Is the fur short and choppy where it's missing, or is it just bald down to his skin? Also, in 2 of those pictures it looks like he has a hunchback. Is that just because of the way he's standing?

 

[chinchilla_ks]

now i have more picture for this

If it is not bald, it could be that he is chewing his fur.

Do you give him plenty of hay to eat every day?

It looks like it could be fur chewing to me, my chinchilla does it all the time. Sometimes they need more toys to chew on in their cage so maybe try that?
Other times they just do it and there isn't much anybody can do about it. My chinchilla relentlessly chews his fur but he's healthy.

You chin looks fine to me, the only thing I could think of that would be a problem is a fungus, but if his skin isn't red and dry, I wouldn't worry.

 

[chinchilla_ks]

yes he's eat every day

and i think it is not bald because i can see fur short in that patch , his skin isnt red and dry , could u tell me if he has fungus what do he will do , i'm now make sure he is dry or not cause i dont know how to check it , but 100% it isnt red

If there is short fur in the area, it probably is from fur chewing. Give him lots of things to chew. It might help to get him to stop. Otherwise there really is not anything you can do about. It will not make him sick.

 

[Jazicat]

could the fur chewing be starting due to stress from a new home. I would imagine with wood to chew and attention it could stop so I'd relax unless it got worse.

 

[chinchilla_ks]

can you show me which toys good for him and he will certainly prefer it

thx guys so much
