Thin Chinchilla

[Olallie]

Like I said, it isnt small just not "big" But I did misread her post, I thought it said that was the biggest her vet had seen. But she said it is the heaviest he has been for her.

Oh yea, I can see how that would happen. sorry!

Hehe, no worries Tara. My friend's chins are both in the 800-900 range, they're big girlies.

He's very small statured as well. He's always been sort of runty, but I love him dearly.

As long as that weight range doesn't alarm anyone, I won't worry as much, but I will keep an eagle eye on him (and pick up a new scale at Walmart this weekend).

Here's a photo of Max when I first got him from the rescue:

This is pretty representative of what he looks like now:

And this is Max sleeping like a dork.

Wow i cant believe how bad he was when you got him. He looked like a fur biter and matted severely. He has come along way.....i wouldnt worry to much if the vet fully looked at his teeth and his fecal was ok

What a difference! It looks like you have been doing a wonderful job with him. I wouldn't worry about his weight as long as it doesn't go down.
