I will be adopting Milo a single 2 year old Chin on Monday his cage mate died a couple of months ago....once I have him settled would it be best to consider another chin as company if so what age,sex would he be more accepting to. As a complete chin novice any other advice would be much appreciated.

It is good to keep chinchillas in pairs, mine adore eachother and I would have it no other way. I have heard that baby chinchillas are easier to introduce, but I have never had to introduce a chinchilla before. Here are 2 forum links, both have some good information about introductions. www.chinformative.comwww.chinchillaworld.com/forums/index.php?act=idx |

Good luck  there is also lots of info on here about introductions, it's mostly the same - just don't squirt them with water  |

I'm a little worried about having a singleton chinchilla also..I'm soon to be the owner of a 11 1/2 week old male, he was born as a single kit. I'm wondering if I should be looking at purchasing a male companion of a similar age

It's always good to do so, because he is young it will be easier to introduce another chinchilla.
