Proper way to handle a chinchilla?

[user 17911]

I was looking at different ways to handle/hold rabbits and started to wonder if there's a proper way to handle/hold a chinchilla. If there is do you have any videos or pictures to show it?

I usually get one hand gently but securely around her chest/midsection, then put my other hand under her bottom for support as I lift her, then bring her in close to my chest so she feels more secure.
