Any advice on how to regain my little boys trust after having to force feed him and give him medicine. Before all of this he loved being pet but now every time I open his cage he hides in his bed and bites me. We are currently still having to give him critical care via syringe and it's heartbreaking when I have to get him out of his cage. Is he going to hate me forever or are chinchillas pretty forgiving once they start feeling better?
 
He'll get better in time. Just be patient with him. Once you stop hand feeding, start rebuilding the trust like you did in the beginning and he'll come around.
