you could always get a cuddle buddy.

Thanks for the feedback, I won't get him done I don't think because if anything happened to him I'd be heartbroken and guilty (forever!).
This 'cuddle buddy' idea. Is it a teddy? Happy to go get him one but can anyone please advise me on this as I don't want him eating it and getting sick!! Like, what about the eyes on teddies!!?
ps does anyone elses chinchillas keep running across their keyboard when they are trying to type?
hi... i'm hope i didn't come off to strong, i just wanted you to realize that there are risks... so you could really think it over and decide. i was hoping someone with lots and lots and lots and lots of experience woudl chime in.
anyways, a cuddle buddy is really any shape of something stuffed. i have seen squares, star shapes, some people do use teddies they buy from teh store, if you do, take all eyes, strings.etc. off.. the minute you notice something ripped, pulled, torn etc.. take it out.. the insides are very dangerous to chins if they swallow it.
also, you could make one, or maybe find one on the web... when people make them for chins, they are made with fleece cuz that is the only safe material for chins because it does not pill up, frey..etc.. if for any reason, you have something in fleece and you see a torn, whole. etc.. it still needs to be taken out immediately for his safety.
here is a sight i love looking at and the items are just beautiful, i think she has great talent!!
