Is it normal for your chin to shed a little? I find some hair here and there, nothing ridiculous and nothing looks like he's going bald or anything. Just little...fluffies? lol not clumps
 
Chins normally shed (also called priming) a couple times a year. It normally starts from the head and goes down in a line to their tail, so it's also not uncommon to see a line when they shed too. Just make sure you keep up on the dust baths to help get all the loose fur out. This link seems to explain it well http://cuddlebugchinchillas.com/care/grooming/priming.html
