I've got 2 chinchillas, Charlie and Gizmo. Had one called Willow who passed away from unknown causes at at early age, only 4 1/2, Charlie is 5 1/2. So found Gizmo to keep Charlie company - she's 2 or so, still a youngster, very nuts, but then so is Charlie. Hoping to get 1-2 more to join them, both are mellow and non-dominant so as chinchillas go, introductions will be easy. They introduced to each other in 1 sandbath in the bathroom session!
So without further ado, pictures!
The late Willow, whose grumpiness I miss daily, she was a big girl (I've wondered if she was the C. brevicaudata type, some pets are supposed to have come from them, she was very stocky!);
Charlie:
And the dear little Gizmo:
By the way Charlie often sleeps on her side, even if it's unusually cold - it did cause me to panic a lot her first summer here.
So there are my very cheeky Chinnies!!!

They are adorable. 
- yes, peanut does that, when I first got the chins, I read that chinchillas never sleep on their side, so I kept going up to peanut and gently stroking him to make sure he was ok xD (he wasn't too happy about it, lol) 
I miss my dear Willow!
