All: Puffrats; dustbags*

(*) If you have a fine scale, weigh your chin before and right after a dust bath. If you wait too long and they have a high PPM rate (poos per minute) it'll skew the results.
 
this thread is the best :)

Pax (which means peace in latin): chinny, winnie, binnie, wynn dixie, illa the chinchilla, pop-pop, baby boo, boo boo, poo poo, mommy's baby
 
I have Tilly and Gizmo. Sometimes I call them a combined name like Tillmo, Gilly or Gizzy. Other times my partner and I just call them stinker #1 and stinker #2. Also, at one point we weren't sure if Tilly was a boy or girl so we started calling her Bill (as a joke). Although we know now she is definitiely a girl we still call her that.

I am also fluent in French and I call them Mes petits cochons (my little pigs) avec des grandes derrieres (with big bottoms)
 
Lenore - Nor, Nor-Nor, Nor-face, poop, Le-snore
Rory - Rors, Rorita (my mom calls her this), poop, stinky, boo-bear, Snory

combined - puppies, bums, bum bums, bummies, poops, fur bums, fur balls, pocket kangaroos, floppies
 
Sometimes I call mine my "funny bunnies" because I often think chinchillas look like deranged rabbits (only much cuter!) :)
 
Pachuco -

Pachuke, Chuke, Chu-kie, Chu-ko, Patch-chew-chew, Pachuke-a-dookie (works on so many levels)



And my personal favorite from my friend Travis:

Theodore is Teddy, teddy bear, baby soft.
Syd is little soft, baby soft , mean soft and Angry soft. He always chews his cage bars and will attack any of the other boys. I think he has small chinchilla syndrome.
 
and they speak spanish."

Haha...my husband and I speak spanish to one of our chins more than the other for some reason (maybe because she has a spanish name) so she's our spanish speaking chin.
 
Trixie is usually bubbie or baby girl. Rick insists on calling her furball...because he says that is what she looks like.
 
I call them my cheechillies, chinchillums, or the chinchildren. My boyfriend calls them silly puppies, who knows why.

Fatso is Fatty Bo Batty.. and Meanie Fatso.
