ok so i went out and bought a female chinchilla about a month ago and i have been trying to introduce her to my male ever since. she keeps acting really aggressive with him every week they act different. when i first got the female i let her run around my room until i found a location to put hers and my males cage she mostly just hid in the corner i don't think she was handled much by her previous owners. i let my male out after to see what would happen while i move his cage they barely payed attention to each other which i figured would happen. so i left them in there cages side By side for a week playing with the individually after i got home from work. then i decided to put her in his cage to see what would happen she explored for a while because my male has a 6 level cage after she found his house she immediately rushed him out and he ran off then after a min or so she ran all the way down and started chasing him at that point i separated them and unfortunatly i was peed on and rejected lol not fun. so
 
Why are you trying to introduce a female to your male? If you're planning on breeding them, where did they come from? If you aren't planning on breeding them...sperm+egg=baby. I don't think you should keep trying to introduce them. You didn't practice proper quarantine(30 days) which is a basic for bringing in new pets. You should look through the facts section on here and read up more on chins and breeding in general if that's the way you want to go.

ETA: Please refer to this thread, there is some good advice on male and female pairing and what to think about before doing it.
