Chinchillas should never get wet. Due to the denseness of the fur, the fur will not dry. The wet fur will fall out if it is wet for too long leaving the chinchilla exposed to the elements as minor as they are for us they are major elements to them. If your chinchilla gets wet towel dry him the best you can and then use a hair dryer to finish the job. Make sure the heat is set on low. Be aware that the hair dryer might scare your chinchilla.

One more thing i am aware of , ive also hear that chinchillas do over heat esaly , so yeah make sure you blow dry your chinchilla very carefully , not hot not cold but warm , and make sure its not to lowed so your chinchilla wont get scared :) - kmf
