I was wondering if a torn ear is bad for a chin? I'm looking at removing a chin from her previous owners and her right ear is split down the middle. There seems to be no signs of infection, no bleeding and it doesnt seem to be bothering her from what i saw. In the long run is this going to cause a problem?
 
Chinchillas just don't have very robust ears. Their ears get small holes and tears so easily. I definitely agree with Cathy, I wouldn't worry about it at all. A torn ear really isn't a big deal at all unless they end up with a hematoma or an infection - both of those are pretty rare with an ear injury. :)

Funny ears just add character to the chins...I never have minded them. :)
