There is no set weight that makes a chin healthy or not. Each chin is different just like people. I watch weights for sudden gains or losses. If they are eating, pooping and acting well then no worries.

Those are considered "smaller" chinchillas by todays standards but not necessarily unhealthy. As mentioned, chins come in all shapes and sizes just like people. If all else is normal then those weights are fine. What feed you use can also play a role in weight.

Without reading through any of your other posts I notice you have a male and female? Are you planning to breed? If you are, those ARE (as mentioned) considered a bit small to breed though, again, not unhealthy necessarily. If you're not planning to breed and are feeding a good food then no worries on their weight. Weigh them periodically, as mentioned, for losses or gains.
