Usually they'll keep their own fur pretty well maintained. If you give them a dust bath every other day or every two days that should take care of most of it. I think normally they shed twice a year with most of it done in the fall. With my short experience of owning chins I found myself wanting a lint roller for my shirt a couple of times. It is still not near as messy as shedding from a cat.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.
