Chinchillas have bloody noses because they might of cut it on something. There also might be a reason because maybe it is just there mucus because it is red. If it is the mucus then their nose is probably irritating them, and you need to take them to a vet. My chinchilla just died because of a bloody nose, and we didn't take it to a vet. I am pretty sure mine might of got it cut on a nail because of the wood.

The length of the whiskers is usually close to the width of the animal's body, and this allows them to know if a hole or other passage is too narrow for them to fit through. If their whiskers bend when they try to enter, then the passage isn't wide enough. This keeps them from getting stuck in places.
