I  went to petco on Friday to look at the chinchillas and I saw the cutest thing! Two baby girls, around three months old, were following each other around their cage   the employee told me that it's rare for chinchillas at their store to bond so closely. Does anyone have chins that do this?

I find it interesting that they said its odd for chinchillas to bond.  But then I think its odd for a petco to have such young chinchillas.  I have only ever seen fully grown chins in the ones around here.  Young chinchillas are always looking for something to bond to.  I find that if I put any two young chinchillas together they are bonded by the next day.  Once you get above 4-5 months old they begin to get set in their ways and it gets harder to get them to accept a new cage mate.

In NYC, there are many young babies at petco.
If I was to introduce a female to my unneutered 10 month male, would he be territorial or accept her as a mate?
