Chinchilla droppings that are a bit soft within 1-2 hours are normal. If the stool is clearly too watery, stop all food except hay; if it returns to normal after a day, resume the diet. Soft stool usually comes from poor diet—long-term fruit and vegetables with high water content easily cause gut trouble and diarrhea. Also, eating expired or rotten food can cause gastroenteritis with soft stool, so treat the specific cause.
