When you are picking up a chinchilla, NEVER pick them up by the middle. Their ribs are very brittle and thin and are extremely easy to break. You need to pick up the chin by the base of the tail. Make sure you are grabbing as close to its rear-end as possible. It does not hurt the chinchilla to grab it by the tail and you won't be able to pull it out.
NO! Do not grab it by the tail. Scoop it up with your hands and if it doesn't want to be scooped up then it does not want to be scooped and it will remain that way.
