I currently have an 8 month old, little girl chinchilla. She seems perfectly happy, especially since I have been doing a lot of work from home so she has most of the day with her cage door open, able to run around the room at will. Anyway, I still wonder often if she might enjoy the company of another chin. I possibly have the opportunity to bring home another female who is 3 years old. From the information I have read it seems she has had at least one litter and was a "great mom and does bite so not great to handle".
I was hoping I could get some input on what everyone thinks the chances of these two bonding after a slow introduction period? I'm not worried about her "biting" and I have never had a chinchilla that was particularly fond of being handled; hopefully she is not quick to respond with urine when one tries to hold her though. I have a second cage because I attempted this a long time ago when I had one male. Sadly, the addition and he never got along so I then had two chinchillas, in two cages and I would hate to have that happen again. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you and Happy March!
