I'll admit I don't know much about chin genetics, or what makes a good build on a chin. I just had a couple general questions.

My boy Terrance seems to be the same body build as my other male, Phillip. But when it comes to his head, it is really small compared to all of my other chinchillas.

Mira is a chunker I think. She isn't fat, but solid. Her head is as wide as her body. Terrance seems almost out of proportion. I have not gotten weights on the adults in a few weeks, so I do need to.
 
I think they're somewhat like people, or any animal really. Abby is quite round, and her face is very chubby (I call her Fatface eheh). On the other hand, Chia seems to be more long than round, and her face is quite petite and thin.
