How good is a chinchillas eyesight?
Chinchillas have relatively good eyesight, which is well-adapted for their natural habitat. Their eyes are large and positioned on the sides of their heads, giving them a wide field of vision to detect predators. However, they are primarily nocturnal, so their vision is best in low light conditions. While they can see colors, their color perception is not as vibrant as that of humans.

Chinchillas were not invented as they are living things. You can't invent a living thing therefore that would lead into the question who created living things.

I wouldn't recommend putting new chinchillas with chinchillas you've already had. It's very rare they'll get along. That's why if you're getting two chinchillas they must both be very young.
maybe you should put them in separate cages and put the two cages half a foot away from each other and see if they get along. then gradually move the cages closer together.
