Hi Everyone!
I just adopted my first Chinchilla on Saturday and I am in love!
She is a 3 yr old Mosaic female named Delilah.

She is the sweetest little girl! I still have a lot to learn and look forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome to the forum! Nice to meet you and Delilah. She sure is a cutie!
 
Congrats on getting a chin!

Is she missing some fur around her nose near her whiskers?

She has what I would describe as a Cleft Pallet. As a baby she was bitten by one of her cage mates and it healed that way. But she is healthy and it does not stop her. Here is a better pic of her mouth-

Good. It looked like fungus or something in the other picture. I have a chin with a "cleft lip" too. No big deal.
