The healthiest chinchillas will come from professional breeders that are involved in shows. This stands to reason since these people are aiming to win prizes.

  Of course, please try to get one from breeder instead of pet stores. It's not b/c pet stores don't take good care of them; some pet stores are doing a good job. The major reason is chinchillas are very sensitive animal; they got scary way too easy. Once they have been frightened, they will lose the trust to human, and remember for a very long time. Due to the very same reason, chinchilla is more for an adult pet, not suitable for young children.

  I doubt it. I would like one maybe a breeding pair later. I still don't think anyone is importing or breeding them in Australia yet/still. Read one reference on an ABC forum that someone applied for an import permit in 2004, and that was it. No more information other than that.
  
  I hope we can get chinchillas some time soon. They're good and different pets.
