Hello everybody. I am a new chin owner. Never had a chin before and so any and all advice appreciated. Firstly, I can't decide on a name for him so I'd love your suggestions I don't know much about what he actually is.. i.e. standard grey etc.. only just come across these terms today... but what I do know is that he's seven months old, hand-reared and loves human contact, snuggles etc. He wasn't very playful when I got him home today which is understandable so I placed a cardboard box in his cage to help him feel secure, but he's just started exploring this evening. I think he's adorable especially as he is already climbing up my sleeve and likes to sit on my neck. I look forward to being a part of the chin community here

He's so cute! He's a standard grey like my boy. That's great that he's comfortable with you already! I was thinking that if I'd had another male, I'd call him Bob. I think that'd be a cute name for a chinchilla. Good luck with him

Hey, nice little one you have For the name i am not the best person to ask. My wife chose the name for my chin But i would go with something from the comic books like Thor. I don't know if you like those kind of names.

Welcome to the community. (I am also new here)

Thanks for both your replies Anniehank and Cuculet.. I do like Bob and Thor as names.. was thinking about Sam too last night! Ah well it may be that our four year old decides for us, as he has been calling him Chingachilla instead of chinchilla..
