I do so agree!
Also, it looks like you are willing to do your homework!
It's the little things that hurt our chinnies,warm temperatures, wrong food, bedding, plastic. This is the place to learn, this and your vet.
I strongly urge you to find a very good vet BEFORE you find your new love. New environments can be stressful, and new owners need to have a good vet (with experience in chins) to lean on. Don't be shy about asking if the vet has real personal experience with chinchillas, and how much experience. I have had receptionists reassure me their vet was good with 'pocketpets', only to find out that vet had never even SEEN a chin!
. So I called on the phone, asked strong questions, then visited the vet and asked more questions in person. If this was a human infant you would do no less, I am sure. So go out there and find your pediatrician, er, veterinarian....lol.
Good luck and I hope the chin of your dreams finds you - ours did.
The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know
