Okay this just came to me , I am picking up my new liitle chinchilla from someone who rescues chinchillas and breeds them on this sunday morning, he just got weened off his mom on monday, and I am bringing him home to meet gus my male chinchilla who I have had for over a year now and I love him like a child, now my question is since the new guy is basically a baby and gus an adult, do I still have to quaratine them in separate room and separate cages? Or wouldnt an adult chin instinctively protect another baby chinchilla knowing already he has dominance for the baby, or does age not matter in introductions? Thanks for all and everyones help
