Why Are a Chinchilla’s Teeth Turning White, and What to Do
Normal chinchilla teeth are yellow to orange; white teeth usually mean calcium lack (low calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A/D), which also weakens bones and risks fractures. Fix with calcium syrup or child calcium tablets plus alfalfa and sun; prevent with quality pellets, extra calcium for pregnant and lactating females, and no over-supplementing.
