my brother just got a 10 to 12 week old chinchilla. what is everything we need to know about them when they're that young? mine was older when i got her so i'm not quite sure about everything for this one. we wanna raise this little girl 100% correctly

Chins under 6 months shouldn't have any treats or a wheel in their cage. Also, I don't think they're supposed to have much exercise outside of the cage either in order to save their calories for growing. ) Congrats to your brother for getting a chin!

I agree with what Stephanie posted. Also, I think you have to watch the bar spacing on the cage. From what I hear, babies are great escape artists!
