Lets put it this way. Any chin can fight. You can have two males caged together in a house that is male only and have them fight. I have 2 adult males (10 years and 10+ years) that have been together for years now. They are in with about 80 other chinchillas. Males, and females in cages next to them. They have a female in the cage directly below them. I have another cage set up of 5 males who are weanlings-few months old. Again they are set up right next to females that are in breeding.

Whenever you have more then one chin in a cage, you need to be prepared for them to fight.

I don't know what fortunatechins is asking these days for rescues...but I know she was asking breeder prices for her rescues back on the old forums. You may be better off doing a craigslist rescue or buying from a reputable breeder then going to her "rescue" if that is still the case. (I think she used to "adopt" chins for $100+ per chin as a rescue back in the day?)

Mish has a black velvet for sale now and is out the state college way, not too far from ohio if you are willing to drive.

If that was true, then chin barns would have boy barns and girl barns, maybe they do but I have not heard of it. Plenty of people have boy and girl chins in the same space with no problems.
 
I keep my chinchillas all in the same room. Even have some boys housed with boys no problems there.
