On Monday night, I bought a 6 month old male chinchilla. His name is Dexter 
it is now Wednesday night and I'm a little concerned. He's been sleeping. A lot. At night and day. He will get up and get active if I wake him up, but will go back to sleep right after I go away. He was housed before with 2 other older female chinchillas there were mean to him. I currently only have him alone. I'm wondering if the sleeping a lot is a concern? He poops and eats and drinks a little, because he's rarely awake. and when he is, he sits in the corner of his cage and hides in his little log. I've had 2 hamster previously, and know how the nocturnal part should look like and he's just been sleeping pretty much all the time. Is he stressed? Or sick? Please help me, I'm very concerned.
