I have never shipped a live mammal before, but I will be recieving two females that will be flown in on Wendsday.

I already have thier FN set up, bunch of ledges, toys, ect, ect but is there anything else I can do to make sure they are calm?

Is there any warning signs I should also look out for if they are ill from the flight?

Should I just leave them be for the next couple of days, or try to give them treats and such?

Thank you!
 
Just treat them like you would any other new chinchilla coming in. Flying is stressful but no more stressful than being handed off from person to person on a railroad. I've had chins flown in a couple of times and all I did was practice normal quarantine procedures and caged them like I cage all my chinchillas.
