Male or female?
Mutation or standard?
Is it small or large compared to your others?

-Note that I don't know how to answer. I'm sure some of our breeders can with this info.

It is really hard to say for sure.  It depends a lot on genetics.    I have full grown chinchillas that range in healthy weight weight from 580 grams all the way up to 900 + grams.

It doesn't look like your question can be answered. At least without some kind of chart. If you are having a problem you can weigh it each day and look for a trend. Can someone recommend a way to tell if a chinchilla is underweight or overweight?
